Whos on the 30Gb tariff is it worth it?

[Anonymous]

Thinking of joining the 30 gig tariff with the iPhone 6s Plus but would like to know is it really worth it what are the pros and cons?

Pros.
30gb of data you'll probably never use.
Trade in upgrade after 12 months

Cons
30gb of data you'll probably never use
The upgrade is dependant on trading in your handset so not really "free"
Costs a shedload

Only you can answer if it's worth it or not.
It ill be good for some but not suit others.
Pro is that you get a new phone after 12 months for free.
Con is you have to take a new tariff and we don't know what the cost of the next 30gb tariff will be.

Personally, I would check my average usage with my current provider and find a tariff that reflects my usage. You may see that you don't come anywhere close to using 30GB per month.

I wouldn't want to pay for something i am not using.

I am on it and for me it was a personal choice if the cost of the tariff stays roughly the same end of september and I get my next handset after only paying £300 for a years use of the iphone 6s then tradeup and assuming this happens each year then in refresh payments a saving of £300 (yes no resale value as have to return the handset)

Data usage is for me slowly growing from around 1gb a month to nearly 10gb last month,  as 4g is being deployed near where I work and live and thethering to my ipad and at times the 4g at home is faster than the rural adsl

It is will the tariff fit for your needs ( budget)?

Personal needs and financial status is what you need to consider. Only you can decide.....

When this tariff was first released I thought who the heck would use all that?...Then I thought it might be a good idea on a Sharer plan...but as far as I am aware the highest sharer you can get now is 20GB ...so it would be far too much for anyone I think....

Tbh I don't use near my 20gb, even with tethering to the tablet..

@Cleoriff Mine shows up as a sharer tariff but would need to lift the iPad tariff to 1gb to add it as the 500mb is not able to use sharer but I just tether to the iPad as I always have the iPhone with me lol

To be honest, anyone using 30gb a month if not on a sharer plan, really needs to get a life.
