EE have started charging for roaming again. I don't use a lot of data so Sky and Virgin are doing 2 gig and unlimited minutes for £6 per month. Which is the best choice.

I have Sky. Don't know about roaming charges tbh but apart from that I've been happy with the service/signal/price and the fact that it includes wi-fi calling is a bonus to me as the phone signal (on all networks) is not fantastic at home.Originally Posted by Chabsy
My wife and two teenagers have sky mobile contracts. It’s off of o2 so ok coverage. The good thing about it is if either of them doesn’t go over their data allowance it gets carried over to a large pool that they can draw against.
Currently we have 159gb free which will come in handy when eldest goes to university.
Cheers, Shaun
Sky are not charging for roaming yet nor are Virgin, its only Vodaphone and EE that have wasted no time in bringing it baxc.
EE is charging for roaming on new contracts. Don’t change your contract = no roaming charges.

I’m pretty sure that EE are only charging for roaming on new contracts- If you don’t change your tariff then roaming will still be included at your current charge

They have said my contract is now obsolete and they are moving my contract to a 30 day rolling contract which will mean them charging for roaming. I have been customer since they were Mercury and when i have spoken to them they said they cannot do anything for me, so ******** to them.
I can't comment on the contracts but AFAIK Virgin use the EE network, so presumably if you do move, you will get the coverage you're used to.
Virgin now uses the Vodafone network
I’m with sky and they are fab tbh
U.K. call centre
Rollover “piggy bank” of data
It’s good as runs off o2

Not for much longer.
Virgin Media have now merged with O2:

Here to say exactly this… it won’t be long until both ‘networks’ are the same. That said, will Virgin want their main competitor on their network? Time will tell, but for a while at least you’re likely to be looking at two different ways of getting onto the O2 network, so pick the best value deal.
FWIW I’ve had good experiences with Sky, and the data piggy bank has been very handy.
We have Sky and it’s good, but be aware they don’t have a deal with TfL so you can’t use Wifi on the Tube.
If that matters to you at all, or indeed you ever spend any time in London.
