How does this add-on work (fees/structure)?
I use EE and I quite like the EE Roam Abroad Pass. Costs £10 for 30 days to make use of your inclusive minutes/texts/data whilst in US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and NZ. Can be added/removed as needed.
I also see 3G more than I did with Three and PlusNet (EE).
Overall still happy. The Volt benefits if you’re a VM customer are just outstanding.
Was getting 200Mb+ in Leicester last week.

Do you mind if I ask how much? And what contract length? I love EE but I’m paying too much for too little.
Decided to go to Three:
£16pm unlimited
£48.75 cashback via Quidco
£11.94pm effectively

O2 and Vodafone tend to share mobile masts.
As do, 3 and EE.
Usually, if someone gets a poor signal with Vodafone, you would expect them to get the same with O2.
Depends on location, with the north west split between O2 and Voda.
Mast sharing is winding down now though.
Bets on Voda and Three to merge

Hell no. Vodafone is quite expensive and not good value for money IMHO. It does have great signal but aside from that as a three user I’ll pass…

Do you mean you’re on Three?
I wish they’d hurry and upgrade my local mast, I’m alright in the house but I’m a discreet speed test nerd, any time any place 
and locally it’s not great, newly built area but on the sea front and town centre it’s 5G

I switched from Three to Vodafone a few months ago.
Around central London, Vodafone is a bit better and doesn’t suffer as much from dropped calls etc in busy areas. I’m don’t think it’s worth the extra cost though, and I’ll probably go back to Three when my contract ends. Outside of central London, 5g on Three was actually really good, better than I’m getting currently with Vodafone, where amazingly it sometimes even connects to Edge!

I have a contract with Three for my sins. I’m out of contract right now so I’m on a rolling monthly contract at the moment.

I seen somewhere that Vodafone said they would be open for a merger, and Three was named within the same page. Ispreview has a lot of this sort of stuff.
There was also a laugh of Three acquiring talk talk but I don’t think that’s happen because Three are focusing mobile broadband not fixed.
Need to just ban the silly site rejections bar anything other than great importance ie impacting plane infrastructure bla bla not these oh it’ll ruin the view or give me covid bs

Those are some decent upload speeds for 5G

I’ve got Vodafone on my eSIM & 3 as my physical SIM. If I’ve got rubbish signal on one I just switch data over to the other and crack on.

With most contracts you get a free perk/add-on. One of them in the Travel Roaming one that widens the inclusive roaming zone beyond the EU. I could then use my full allowance. So similar to the EE one, just the O2 perk thingy makes it free. I think it’s around £10 a month outside of that deal.

I switched from BT to EE and the speeds i get in some areas are dreadful, that slow i cannot even stream spotify. Im talking about 1megabit per second
I used the service checker to see what kind of speeds I’ll get at my families house and it says words to the effect of poor to no signal ( if i enter my samsung phone into the checker )
If i put my iphone 7 into the checker for the same location, it says excellent signal all round.
So why is the signal so poor on my samsung but not my iphone or even my cousins samsung which get perfect signal on EE
Do BT not own EE? What’s the difference?

Yeah I think they use the same networks.
At mine, I get about 35mb which is fine.
Family house is barely 1.5mb
To be fair it must be down to the phone as with BT at their house it would be almost unusable to even browse the web.
Why is my phone restricting the download speed ? Is it because it’s a budget one with low spec? It’s an A21s.
If I put in iPhone 7 or Huawei Y7 ( into the EE website ) it says great signal even over at theirs.
Link to website in question…
This is what it says for my old cheapo Huawei…
Thanks for the info!
It definitely does support 4G as it works at my house. Just not over at the families.
To be fair I can stream spotify when out and about so it’s not a huge problem. I’ll just use wifi at theirs like I used to.
