25 Things in 2025 - Thing #11
Change phone provider
I had used the same phone provider since I was working in a company which, amongst other things, provided mobile phones, which meant I got staff rate. However, since I left in 2018 the price has been slowly rising, so it's no longer a good deal and my data allowance was very limited.
Which was why I finally made the move to change provider - prompted in part by listing this as something to do this year and therefore committing myself to do it! Having looked at price comparison websites I decided to just go to Tesco, where the staff are helpful, which meant they could do the set up for me. I'd got a PAC code so within just over 24 hours of buying a new SIM (I'm on SIM only having bought a new phone in January) I have my old number (it's the only number I've ever managed to remember!) it was all set up. Hooray!
