Order Sim Card for Test Device (Mr. Tappy) #9

Closed nelsonic closed 7 years ago

nelsonic commented 7 years ago

Our "Test" iPhone should have SIM Card in it so that we can test apps on 3G/4G to give a realistic load time for our tests.

Thinking of ordering one from 3 Network: image http://www.three.co.uk/Store/SIM/Plans_for_phones#?contract=1&data=&minutes=&type=alltype 1-month Rolling Contract. 1GB Data.

uSwitch - iD is cheapest at £5 per month (rolling)

Which is the same as Three's coverage; image

@njsfield yeah, the 3 network is definitely not the "cheapest". (which is why we don't currently use them...) But the real question (and criteria I should have specified in my original description) is:

Which network offers the best value-for-money && lets us Use UK Data Allowance Abroad (without additional charges)?

Given that the EU "Anti Roaming Charges" law comes into effect on 15th June 2017: https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/guides/mobile-roaming-charges/#eu_roaming image Something that the EU Bureaucrazy got right! 😉

This won't be a concern anymore so iD Mobile will be a good <option>! Thanks for sharing! 🎉

I've decided to switch my personal mobile phone to 3 instead of getting a Sim Card for the "Test" Phone. 👍 see: https://github.com/dwyl/remote-working/issues/12
