I took things into my own hands. Once my 12 months SIM only contract was up almost two years ago I moved over to a rolling 30-day. I will not go back to the big players on anything more than 30 days. Fuck the greedy bastards.

Don’t they offset their losses on a thirty day SIM by charging you more per month?
Who are you with?

There some low cost MVNOs that offer rolling plans. No frills but cheaper than major networks.
Giffgaff have recurring “goodybag” system that can be quite cheap. They keep costs low through things like having minimal customer support.

I haven’t found any 30 day contracts that can beat a well negotiated renewal. You just need to be firm in requesting the PAC code and make them work to keep you as a customer.
I got EU roaming included in my £9/month contract but I do need to get temporary travel packs for other countries.

How much data for £9?

If you have the energy to jump through the hoops to get a deal, then great. I can’t face it. When I feel my current deal isn’t right, I just text the number, get the PAC, and disappear, and I love the freedom. I pay £6/month for 5GB and it’s more than enough for me.

TalkMobile.
Vodafone’s other in-house MVNO with no-frills. 30Gb, £7, rolling 30 day contract.
60Gb is £10 per month, 30 day rolling contract.

No doubt these are decent deals but if you look at their website and compare like for like:
talkmobile.co.uk/sim-only
Edit: Err, actually they have two options with the same terms at different prices for the 30GB 1 month contract. The second is as you’ve noted, £7. WTF?

Marketing and proofreading? What’s that?
