You sent this exactly when I was buying a backup Lebara SIM. I’m 75p down now :face_with_peeking_eye:

I was asking because apparently you can’t use anything that charges if you’ve brought a prepay.

It is, but you can buy more if you need it.

That’s fairly standard when roaming, not Moo-zillion specific.

Only on the Mini (10GB) and Middy (30GB) plans.
Biggie (100GB) and Bigger Biggie (Unlimited) are limited to 30GB.

VOXI when I’ve been with them in the past have always been weird; no data for the longest time was being recorded as used (then one day it fixed itself) and I couldn’t top-up at all to pay for the Pubcast texts (Chris Moyles, Radio X) at all and had to resort to using a family members phone for it.

Help was next to useless to be honest too, wouldn’t let me speak to a person in live chat at all and had to resort to using Facebook Messenger with them. :frowning:

Never had issues with them as a network but the roaming charges added up as I travel a lot. Now got Spusu for roaming but may chop Voxi off to save a tenner a month. Plus they annoyed me when they didn’t pay me my referral bonus when I got my girlfriend to join.

I am with EE and i’m now very happy because they’ve included roaming in a lot more countries now if you have the full works plan. I’m going to turkey in a few weeks and now Turkey is included which is great! I grabbed the plan at christmas when it was going for something like £29.50 which was very good plus you get free apple watch data as well!

I am not sure if my last reply posted because my laptop crashed, but I am with ee and I am very happy as they have now bought romaing in on the full works plans in a lot more countries, so when I go to Turkey in a few weeks roaming is included which is great! I grabbed the full works plan over christmas when it was £29.50 instead of £48 and it includes free apple watch data which is great as well!

Which MVNOs give the most consistent speeds?

Just got VOXI and in central London the speed is abysmal.

I assume Mozillion, any others that people recommend?

Voxi is exactly the same as Vodafone as it’s owned and managed by them, so not an MVNO issue, just a Vodafone one. Lebara is restricted under Vodafone, talk mobile is not.

Mozillion is unrestricted EE access except RCS messaging if that’s a problem.

Three/Smarty/iD would all be identical, again no RCS for the latter two, iD having most generous EU roaming allowances as standard, pretty sure it’s unrestricted at the moment too.

O2 will perform better than Sky, Tesco and Giffgaff MVNOS; but many find O2 problematic in general (but slowly improving, certainly in London).

Edit: for clarity, my RCS comments relate to iPhone, not Android. The two are handled separately.

Thank you for this detailed breakdown, that’s much appreciated.

Weird about the RCS but don’t think that’s going to make a huge difference to me.

I’ll give Mozillion a go, O2 and Three are not ideal in my home county so that narrows things down.

I’ve been happily using Mozillion. The 2 year prepaid deal is amazing value. And eSIM delivery is almost instant.

Have a look at Spusu (EE) as well. I get good speeds, but I don’t know how pricing compares.

Spusu was also really good for me but I have a Pixel and there are issues with 5G.

All three of my kids (with iPhones) are on Spusu.

Here’s a special deal that isn’t widely advertised.

(Says 12.90 but it’s 7.90 for the first year)

EE have changed their roaming packages which is quite frustrating for my plan.

Currently I have Roam Abroad as part of my plan, which includes roaming in the EU and several other countries including the US, Australia and NZ.

Now they have split the packages into EU and Rest of World so I have to choose which package I want and can only switch every 30 days.

They say the benefit is that RoW includes more countries (including Turkey) which is true but now it means I couldn’t go to the US and EU in the same 30 days and have to set reminders when to change my package in order to maximise the roaming I have.

Somehow they are touting this as a good change. I didn’t even know it was coming other than a random text yesterday:

It’s even confused their own staff when I was trying to figure it all out:
