Virgin Mobile. It's actually £6 a month as I just checked the bills. It used to be £5.50.

That’s crazy cheap, is the reception any good?

It's a virtual network which uses EE masts, so it will be the same as EE (and Plusnet, BT Mobile...)

Ah ok, i'm on EE and i've had enough of the poor call reception and dropped calls! Data reception is great though.

£6 is a still an excellent deal for 8GB. On their site the 8GB package is £12, so perhaps your deal is no longer available?

I am with virgin, they do decent offers on data etc every now and then.

Mine is 10gB and unlimited minutes and texts for £9.

Zero issues with reception etc.

I have the iPhone X 256 from US (so was a bit cheaper) can get 600 trade in (can’t be bothered with fleebay) and my mate works for Apple so getting the new iPhone Xs max 256 with about 15% off

O2 are currently doing 40gb sim only for £25 too I notice.

I think if you have SKY tv their mobile deals are hard to beat

Something i've thought about with these face id phones, if you have it in a dash mount do you have to use your passcode to unlock it?

I think my Samsung would unlock at that kind of distance (it does in the desk dock). My wife's iPhone X looks like it works that far away too.

I found the cheapest way to get my phones is buy them network locked just after xmas from the likes of eBay.

Got my 256gb IP8 in jan new and sealed for around £550.

Fill a form in a vodafone site gets the phone unlocked.... and then come jan i sell it on for 300-400. And start over again!

My vodafone sim only deal only costs me £10 pm... only 5gb - but inc spotify premium.

Ok thanks, I might have to move my head to the side though!

Why would you want to unlock it whilst driving?

Surely you dont mean you want to use the phone for anything other than hands free calling?
