LL versus mobile contracts

HarryM1BYT · 26th June 2019, 14:30

I'm presently with Plusnet for fibre over copper broadband, paying an extra £8 pm for free anytime calls limited to 1 hour, plus 2000 minutes to mobile numbers.

For years I have made do with topping up my mobile number as I rarely use it except for emergencies. £10 topup lasts for years. So recently bought a new Iphone and the credit rapidly disappears if I use it for data. I buy a separate data sim for whilst away in the caravan, just for Internet.

Plusnet offer 3Gb, unlimited, unlimited mobile for £7 pm for existing customers, which is much more than I would normally need. I'm just waiting for that to be activated, then....

I asked and Plusnet say I can drop the £8 anytime calls from my LL package, making me £1 better off, yet I would still be able to make (chargeable) and receive calls on the LL.

It all sounds just too good to be true. Mobile use cheaper than LL, yet with 3gb thrown in. The 3gb will more than take care of my times away in the caravan, using the phone for tethering. Am I missing a gotcha or something?
