Slice is just Lyca with a different name. Bit like Hermes renaming to Evri.
Same awful service and quality, just with a new name badge.
I will add it though, just as an extension of Lyca - no point having two identical entries.

Anybody heard much about meaningful planet? An expensive EE MNVO with an environmental impact focus
I pay Ā£22 for my full works plan on EE, unlimited data, watch sim, 5GSA. This is ridiculously expensive

Wow Ā£22 is excellent, that plan is Ā£48 for new customers from what I can see.
Ā£22 is amazing! I pay Ā£29 for the same plan. No matter how much haggling I did they wouldnāt reduce it anymore
I got Ā£24 for full works with an FandF 50% off code from a friend who works for them.

Not really. Yours is just so ludicrously cheap that the vast majority of EE customers will never be able haggle a deal close to it. Nice humblebrag though.
Those Meaningful Planet prices on the other hand seem reasonable given who theyāre piggy backing off, and what theyāre trying to do on top, which naturally costs them more.
Itās currently on offer at Ā£24pm for 12 months too. I got this deal in Black Friday and have just āupgradedā to it again to keep the offer running for another 3 months
I didnāt haggle anything, Iām just an EE Broadband customer.
Compared to other MVNOs, this one is very expensive for the sake of some greenwashing.

Show me the greenwashing, please.
The website is very vague about how the extra 10% markup on your tariff is spent other than generic headlines, and things that they do mention like planting trees have generally been considered greenwashing because most projects end up in areas with very limited impact.
As far as I can tell from their website itās just āpay us 10% extra so you can feel good/smugā
If you want to make a difference join a charity that makes you a member and lets you attend/vote in their AGM, so you actually know and can influence what your money is spent, rather than vague, opaque promises.

Well we have quite clearly read very different websites. Or you stopped short of the marketing headlines.
The 10% goes towards several different U.K. rewilding and conservation projects. It tells you what those projects are. Like restoring underwater kelp forest in Sussex and peatland in Yorkshire, and rewilding abandoned farmland in the Great Fen, and reintroducing beavers in Northamptonshire, or rebuilding oyster reefs along our coastline. The sort of projects I pay Mossy Earth Ā£10 per month to contribute to.
Hereās their impact report which quite clearly and transparently outlines every project of every partner 10% of your bill goes towards:
There is nothing vague or opaque about it all. Something which cannot be said for a heck of a lot of charities out there.
Itās about as far from greenwashing as you can get. That 10% contributes to real impactful local environmental projects. Iād personally rather just stick with my Mossy Earth subscription, but if you like EE signal, canāt get a deal as good as yours, and want some of your money to do a little good in the process, itās really not a bad choice at all.
I tried to tap on the various project headings on mobile, but it did nothing - indeed, on desktop, it opens the projects, so Iāll say I agree with you more.

Just an FYI for anyone considering Spusu. They are still having issues receiving OTP via SMS.
Iāve been trying for days to register with Apple Business Manager but the codes just arenāt coming through by SMS.
Spusu support have confirmed itās a known and ongoing issue they are trying to fix.
I can see some posts on other forums mentioning this problem as far back as 2023ā¦ itās a shame they have still not resolved.
Bit of a dealbreaker for me, sadly.
For any Smarty users out there: you can now text to short code numbers.

Ay! I left Smarty because of this some time ago. I may give them another chance now. 
(I witnessed an incident on a train and couldnāt text the BTP despite having credit, Smarty were apologetic at the time but offered no actual help.) I think itās poor they wouldnāt just free rate the number to be fair.
Now would be the time to try them. Iāve got 100% Cashback offer with Smarty up to the value of Ā£8.00.
I was under the impression it was a technical limitation, rather than cost. Could have been wrong, though.
