I switched from one of the big networks a couple of years back and the difference on the monthly bill was huge, well over half off for roughly the same data. I'd been paying for extras I never used on the old contract, and here you just pick what you need. The app shows how much data I've used each month, which stops any nasty surprises. I've been with them ever since and haven't had a reason to…

I'd also been told the sign up would be quick, but it took several days and two calls before the SIM was activated. The network coverage at home is patchy compared with what I expected. I'll be keeping an eye on it and may move on at the end of my contract.
Read moreI compared four or five sim only providers before picking this one and it came out cheapest for the data I wanted. The plan was about the same as the others but the app was easier to use than some of the rest. Took about two days for the sim to arrive, which was fine. I'd say it's a good choice if you just want a plain plan.
Read moreI was grateful that the SIM was activated on the same day I placed my order, which I hadn't expected from a budget provider. The tariff is clear and the costs are as described on the website. The only small niggle was that I had to telephone once to confirm my address, as the online form would not accept my postcode.
the sim came the next day which was mad honestly. set it up on my phone in like five mins, data's fine for insta and maps. only thing is the activation email took a while to come through but whatever
Switched over from a big network and it's a lot cheaper than what I was paying before. Compared to the others I checked it felt less faff to get going, though the app is a bit slow sometimes. Data's good so far.

I was a bit surprised that the number was live within the hour, given how long the phone queue took the first time I rang them. The sign up on the site was straightforward enough, though I did have to read the terms twice before I was happy. Staff were polite when I did get through, and the plan has been steady since.
