If you go to carphone warehouse you can get the same EE deal with £24 auto cashback reducing the effective tariff to £13.99.

Look on CPW you can also get cheaper deals on sim only with o2 as well if you like o2 as a network.

Also have you checked your signal quality with EE?

That deal is sim only @Cleoriff and was one I looked at but EE signal isn't good here and certainly not as good as their coverage checker states

Get a PAYG sim and check it properly - much cheaper than been stuck with a useless contract for the sake of a £10 top up.

@Anonymous please DO NOT rely on online coverage checkers. They are notoriously unreliable.

Would recommend you go online and get a free EE sim and check signal using that in the areas you most need it.

Also make sure your handset is unlocked. If you need to unlock it you can do this for free as an o2 contract customer unless you currently have iPhone 6 or 6+ (not paid off)

Then it makes sense to go with trying P&G sims. Let us know how it goes and who you eventually settle for.

I am Happy with my 02 deal, I am staying put. I have 500 minutes unlimited texts (12,000) 500 MB internet (I only use around 250 a month as I am mostly on wifi)All for £11 per Month. .

Also my 4G is brilliant here in Edinburgh,around 50MB's speed.

There is no harm in trying and I would defintely see what you can get out of retensions. I tried last year and got a good deal. I got the £24.99 sim only deal with unlimited mins, texts, 5 GB of data for £19.99.

Personally, when my contract is up in September and providing there are provider/s in my area with 4G, I will be leaving O2, I have been an O2 customer for around 17 years too. Coverage wise, I find O2 are superb, but their 3G coverage is patchy and their mobile data I'm finding of late is getting worse, its only any use for surfing, email. Trying to stream a video with mobile data is a real chore and when the video eventually plays, the quality of the streamed video changes quite often while watching as the connection struggles. No point having a decent amount of mobile data if I can't use it.

The deal you mention with EE is probably the one I would go with if I go to EE, that is providing EE have 4G in my area, which at this time they don't. Currently they have 4G coverage a little north and south of my location, so I'm hoping 4G comes later this year.

Sorry to go off topic

What I would recommend is, get an EE sim first and try it in your phone (you would obviously need to make sure your phone was network unlocked to ensure the EE sim would work). Try EE out for a few weeks in the areas you use your phone the most, so as you can see what the coverage is like and also see what their data network is like.

The last thing you want by moving to EE is poor coverage or a buffer face lol. I've had nothing but a buffer face lately with O2
