So I finally got an EE PAYG sim today so I can test the network Vs O2.

EE have the better signal at home.

The speed tests are better on EE at home too.

I mean neither are amazing but EE is definitely better.

Now to see if I get a signal when I get to work tomorrow.
 
I’m not convinced they will do a student package.
I’m signing up to the top level anyway. I pay for family music, news+, arcade and 200gb iCloud. Which is over £30 a month as is and once the TV+ trial finishes I’d probably consider paying for it.
So to me the £30 plan is definitely something I’d want as it saves money and stops all these differing payment dates I have at the moment.
I'll defo be subscribing too either way 😂
 
Vodafone have now offered me the Pro 128gb Graphite for £51 a month with 48gb 5G data , the original package I chose was the 12 64gb Green for £42.80 a month. Thought the extra £8 a month would be worth the jump lol

Just saw something really interesting. So I know ao use DPD as the courier most-every time, so when i enter my order number as the reference on DPD tracking, it asks "authorised users please log on" with a box for a username and password! Damn thats secure - probably so I cant change my delivery to Wednesday 😂

I'm using the DPD app and it notifies me when there' something coming to my address, so far nothing yet.

Anybody know if you can use perk discount on sim only EE smart plans?
Likely yes, I used it on the £20 price plan/

that seems incredibly cheap, i couldnt get a deal like that even with a 15% discount on VEA, how did you manage that? I just cancelled my order with them as i was going to be paying £61 a month pre discount for a iphone 12

I'm trading in my XR 64gb and I got a 20% discount off them luckily

re: the shiny sides to the pro - I've been saying this for weeks that I don't like it, will scratch easy etc, no one really responded to it lol
X: shiny sides. XS: shiny sides. 11 Pro: shiny sides. Doesn't seem to have been that big a problem!

None of those had sides you could see your face in though, did they? The curvature of the steel distorted the view. This is something else completely.

Was a problem for me that on my XS, despite using Apple Silicone case (with cloth on the inside) I had light marks on the shiny sides which resulted in a reduced offer from CPW at trade-in.

Zero difference in scratchability though. Personally I've never tried to use the side of my phone as a mirror, YMMV. :)

Seems pretty picky of them, wouldn't most places regard that as fair use? Lord knows what they'd say if someone had been using it without a case!
 
Not sure many people know this but for anyone who is expecting delivery by DPD should download their app and register using your delivery address. From then on as soon as they receive your phone it’ll notify you via the app way before any of the carriers do. It’s worked for me every time.

Those speeds are absolute garbage!!

Yep, but it's the best I've got at home when inside. EE are better then O2. Will come down to do I get a signal at work on EE because I don't get a signal at all on O2 unless I wave my phone by the window.

What does the 'B' and 'P' mean by the network name?

Business and Primary. They are labels added so you can tell the Sim's apart, I assume more helpful if you have two lines on one network.

I’ve never had a phone with sides which are mirrors, either, so I also wouldn’t know.

Nor do I want one. 😉 In all seriousness, I am really concerned the aesthetic is not going to suit me and I will have to exchange mine for a regular 12. First world problems, I know.
