OK, so I’m behind the times here, but switching your network and keeping your number turns out to be simplicity itself. Why did it take me SIX YEARS? In fairness I did try and leave 18 months ago, but I got a good deal – a very good deal – that my old network failed to honour. It promised me all sorts of free texts and minutes, and then charged me for every text I sent, despite me pointing out that that wasn’t what we’d agreed.
In the end they refunded 12 months’ worth of them, so I’ve gone. To give them their dues, they tried to win me over with another offer of free texts and calls, clearly taking me for a bit of a fool. Know what I say to that, former network?
So, so long. You won’t be missed. I bagged a SIM at Asda that works fine in my existing, beloved, now fairly old phone. It doesn’t include any free minutes or free texts, but then it’s only 8p a minute to make calls and 4p to send each text, it’s far better than your deal.
My £5 top-up buys me 62 minutes of calls (which at my current rate of calling will last around 10 months), or 125 texts (roughly six months of usage). Compare that to your £12.50 contract and you can see why I won’t be rushing back.
