Tmobile UK Flext Refresh

Some sick new deals from Tmobile UK. what you guys think bout it? I have already changed my tariff and I have kept my £10 loyalty discount till the end of my contract in June. For some reason though they wouldnt give me the Flext Refresh 35 so I opted for the next one up Flext Refresh 40. Its only 3 months to the end of my contract and I,ll twist their arms a likkle then.

United Kingdom - Pay as you go - best deal?

Hi All,
What is the best Pay as you go sim card deal in the UK? I just need a UK sim card for three weeks. I'm looking for the lowest upfront fee and then cheapest minutes. If it had some data capabilities that'd be good.
Cheers!

Asda mobile is cheap for calls 8p per min and 20p per meg for data the sim card cost 50p in asda stores.But if you use alot of data virgin have unlimited data (well 25mb) for 30p a day but the calls cos 15p per min.

If you know someone under 25, get them to get you a blyk simcard. They give you £15 credit a month without you ever even topping up, and all they do is send you a couple of advertising texts a month.
Only disadvantage is its not 3g

T-Mobile had one of the best PAYG data rates, think it was £2.50 for 5 days and sort of unlimited. Been contract for a while now so not sure if it's still current.

[Q] G2x + Tmobile $10 unlimited web

i've been on tmobile's 200mb req smartphone web for $15 for a while and i realized it isnt enough. i went over many times. i cant afford the extra $15 a month for the unlimited smartphone 4g web. currently, i have a g2x on gingerbread 2.3.3, but before, i had a nokia 5800 on tmobile's $10 unlimited web plan.
is there any way i can get that $10 unlimited web plan on my g2x?
(i had to sacrifice the $10 unlimited from my nokia when i got the $200 upgrade price for the g2x)
thanks in advance for any answers.

Tmo rep here. If you would have updated your data plan recently to the no overage 200MB plan you would have been able to get unlimited with just reduced speeds after the 200MB. However, they just recently changed those plans back to overage after 200MB so now the minimum plan you can get without overages is 2GB.
If you are on a grandfathered contract right now, check to see if the Classic plans may be cheaper because the 2GB no overage data plan is only $20.
But in short, no you can't get the $10 unlimited plan back that you had (technically at least). You can always try having the retentions department do it (those guys can do anything).

right now, i have a $59.99 even more plan + 1 line (750 minutes)
i checked there was a $59.99 Classic 1000 plan.
so if i do sign up for that, i could get some type of "no overage" plan for $20?

Why stay with Sprint?

So, I have a real problem. I've been with Sprint for 10 years as of this August. I have perfect payment history and a credit rating above 780. I currently own the HTC Hero, which has been a good little phone, but I want to upgrade. I have the $150 credit to get a new phone, but that's where the issues begin to crop up.
My current contract expires Feb. 19, 2012. Because of successful negotiations in the past with Sprint's Executive Services, I pay $36 and change after taxes and fees for the following:

I don't use a whole lot of minutes (mostly mobile-to-mobile), don't use a whole lot of data (never more than 2GB/mo), and my max texts are typically around 3500/mo.
I want to upgrade my phone, and I'm considering the SGS2. I have been in contact with Executive Services recently, and the lowdown is that if I want to get a new phone, I will have to pay $200 for the phone. Then, since I was grandfathered in, I'll have to pay the premium data fee of $10/mo. But, I will also have to renew my contract and I will lose the extra $20/mo service credit that is currently offsetting the price of my service. I will retain my corporate discount of 27%, but, all told, after taxes and fees, simply upgrading my phone for $200 will actually increase the price of my service to about $65-70/mo after taxes and fees. This is nearly doubling the price of my service, and without a free phone to boot.
This is nearly the price of similar competing Verizon and AT&T service plans (after my corp discounts there), but Sprint doesn't offer 4G in my area (Albuquerque, NM), and their 3G service is spotty, at best.
Why should I stay with Sprint? Are there better options?

If your bill is going to go up anyway you might want to consider going with a carrier that offers GSM phones (t-mobile, AT&T). That way if you manage to wangle the price of your contract down over the years and face a similar situation as you're in now you can just go out and buy any GSM phone, unlock it (if necessary), stick your current SIM card in and voila, you have a new phone, but you get to keep your existing (cheap) contract.
I joined t-mobile about 2 months ago on a monthly rolling contract, I wanted to change my phone so I just bought a Samsung Exhibit 2 outright from Amazon and stuck my current SIM card in. No hassle.

That's sage advice. Thank you!
How much of a difference from $65-70/mo am I looking at from other cellular providers for the same level of service? Just a cursory check finds $0.01 Verizon phone deals through Amazon, and similar monthly recurring charges for 450 anytime, unlimited text, and 4GB data, after corporate discounts.

Boost Mobile as a carrier…

Tired of paying the outrageous price that GoogleFi charges (2-3 phones, only use 2) for $90/mo - have tried other plans and they get you on the data even though I am on Wi-Fi 90% of the time.
Started looking around at carriers like Boost Mobile and for $15/mo per line I can get unlimited talk/text & 5GB of data. That amount of data is more than enough since I am on WI-FI most of the time.
Question is how is Boost Mobile? I understand they use T-Mobile & AT&T for their network and support 5G so coverage should be good as I am covered by both T-Mobile & AT&T heavily, but how is it for those that actually use it?
Phones that would be used would be a iPhone SE 3rd Gen & either a iPhone XS or 13.
Appreciate your responses!
