Has anyone used “honest sim”?

[Daveb999]

Seems a great idea - £45 a year, gives data if your provider drops (as long as another provider gives coverage in that area) and unlimited data on certain apps abroad.

Anyone used this, opinion on how good/bad it is?

I know this isn't the answer to your question, but we moved to penny mobile as they offer free roaming. If the roaming is what you're looking at.
I have considered honest, but have rarely struggled with EE cover (which penny also run on).

I’m generally fine for roaming. I like the idea of additional coverage where O2 might be weak though.

The £45 a year option is only for the selected apps

Am with Tesco Mobile unladen everything, piggy backed on O2. Not had a signal issue in UK, France and Spain since I signed up. only £16/month, worth it for not having to watch consumption

Like @Sad I also use 1p mobile as it runs on EE with no speed cap, unlike some EE plans. As a back up, I use a global eSim from esim.sm, it's been rebranded to Quibity. It's payg and your credit doesn't expire. It can connect to all four UK networks, but only 4g. https://quibity.com/en/global-esim

Yep....Lyca for me due to the use of the EE network. Ran it for Rallymoto events in a navigation tablet, due to best coverage, and then took in on for my phone, no issue in remote locations...... had so many issues with the Three UK Network via Smarty. Dreadful.

Even last weekend at Newbury showground, the Mrs on Vodafone couldn't download a picture whilst I was sat next to her on 80mbps

EE is by far the best for congested areas in my experience, I travel a lot and have tried all of them but only EE seems to work well on the east coast mainline and allows me to actually use my phone in busy London train stations at rush hour

Three was unbelievable bad......used to drop calls all the time. I changed the SIM , I changed the phone, I changed the SIM again and then it dawned on me that it was the carrier. I really cant explain how bad, bad was.
