Got a Simply8p simpack - so will I actually get that tariff out of it, or will it just be whatever the current (not very impressive unless you can time topup bundles well) tariff.

A lot of the major network tariffs are an embarrassment now, with what 3 have done with straight up PAYG undercutting most of the MVNOs.

How long before the others answer - only when it starts hurting them, I guess.

TBH. main reason I want Simply8p for my locked phones, is so they have a decent X-net tariff when I take my main (unlocked) to 3.
Was a little peeved when VM's day rate data went up to 50p, but at £1, I'd need a damn good reason to commit to up to 100MB of data, when 3 would charge 1p per MB used!

If VM had a more sensible data progression, even if it was 10p per MB capped at £1 for 100, but at £1 to shift any data on the day, I just can't justify chucking a pound away just to look one thing up.
