Looking to purchase a SIM only deal. I was on Vodafone that was great for signal and data. I can get 40GB (5G) data for £13 per month or with Three I can get 120GB (5G) data per month.

The Three offer is tempting, but have heard mixed reports on the signal quality. Any views would be great.

Two Three SIMs here plus Three 5G broadband, no complaints whatsoever.

Been with them for around a decade. Was on a £15 unlimited sim for about 8 or 9 years until they eventually pulled it. Think it's about £21 now.

Used to be brilliant abroad but they've stopped that now unfortunately. I used to be in France for 2 or 3 months a year and would burn through 100GB a month all for £15.

In terms of signal can't say I've noticed it being any better or worse than the others. OH is on Vodafone and it doesn't seem better. Worse if anything.

No complaints from me. I switched to a Smarty sim only deal (which uses 3's network). They do 60GB for £10/month. With no contract. If you try it and it doesn't seem good enough coverage for you, it's so simple to port your number to a new sim now that you can cancel after a month and go with someone else.

Think I'm done with contracts now. Will just buy a new phone every 4 or 5 years

Fine as long as you don't drop beyond the range of 3G. They don't do legacy 2G. Only going to be an issue ruraly nowadays.

Ofcom have a coverage map.

Thanks for the help. I went with the 60GB SMARTY deal mentioned above. With it being a rolling 1 month deal I can try it and see what its like and if no good go elsewhere.
