according to MSE some people have had some luck in getting a decent deal from the retentions team - I did try doing a webchat but it just timed out on me, and I’m not sure I’ve got the patience to phone. Maybe I ought to just vote with my feet.

Great to see O2 finally having 5G in Chester, though I could only test while picking someone up at the train station.
Finally got around to calling O2. The best they could offer me was £10/mo for 50GB - which, if I do nothing, is what I’d be paying in April for 20GB. I don’t need that much data!
They were cheeky enough to say I was already getting a discount on my contract - er, no, that’s just how they fudged my grandfathered Virgin Mobile tariff onto the O2 system.
Will probably be heading to Lebara, but not before I rinse Priority for a few more deals (like free cloakroom at a gig I’m going to this weekend)
Was driving home from hospital earlier and was on the phone to my other half via android auto. Lost signal 3 times and got cut off. Seems EE are mega pants where I am. Still stuck with mozilion for another year as prepaid but tempted to just take the loss and port out.
I use spusu, which is an EE MVNO and the data speeds went down to 3 Mbps last night and hasn’t changed. That’s both at home and a few miles away - so different masts.

When changing tariffs on o2 were you told you had to go through another credit check a hard one that would stay on your file?
Before EE was a thing, they were Orange and they brought T-mobile and they actively pushed the better paying customers to the better masts.
It won’t surprise me if they’re doing that for the virtual networks.

Changing tariffs shouldn’t impact your file.
Will any of the EE (or, at a push, Vodafone) based operators let me use my Apple Watch cellular on their plan?
I think @Bubblesthefish6 managed to get an eSIM to work on it but can’t remember which.
EE has become dreadful in London recently. Not sure if anyone has experienced the same?
Vodafone allows you to have a sim option on your Apple Watch. I’ve had it the past.

EE do as well but they’re both ~£7/mo. I wondered if mozillion, lebara, etc, etc might do it more cheaply but couldn’t see much info out there
That is exactly what I said but they were insistent on running me through a new credit check, funny thing was it was a cheaper tariff. Needless to say i said no and asked for my PAC.
Wrong
Before EE was a thing they did not exist. First it was Mercury, then one2one then Mercury one2one, then T-Mobile, they then bought Orange but due to typical UK rules they had to keep them separate therefore EE (Everything Everywhere) was formed. They then slowly wound down Orange in the UK to keep EE the master brand. Orange is still about out side of the UK in places like Spain and France etc.
EE (originally short for EverythingEverywhere) was a joint venture between T-Mobile (owned by Deutsche Telekom) and Orange (owned by France Télécom), which was then bought by BT.

Sigh, my point wasn’t about the brands but rather the priority given to masts and the service.
The exact order in which the companies formed and merged wasn’t my point.
I do miss the orange brand, I joined them from very early on in the UK, I only left because of signal issues caused by the merger.

Likewise. In fact, my first Orange phone displayed the network as Hutchison, until they sent an OTA SIM update to change it to Orange.
I signed up to Honest for three years, I’m impressed with the app so far and now I have the SIM will probably start a port in over the weekend.
