TPO are a bit wobbly, I'm not quite sure where the root cause(s) lye.

The first SIM they sent me worked, except for incoming CLI. Something
to do with phone (Samsung SIII Mini), the SIM and "the network". they
made a number of test calls to me to get debugging info but ended up
sending a new SIM.

Then I had a billing issue they charged for what should have been
bundled calls and texts, but only on a Saturday or Sunday... Sorted
after the next billing cycle.

Their forgien use charges are a bit of a pain but not being out of
the country for 20 years paid no attention to that. I'm about to go
abroad but I ain't paying £50 plus plus to enable roaming. I'll just
divert to a VOIP number and get a local PAYG SIM.

They are cheap tho' £4.99/month, for about 10 times as many minutes
as I use, at least double the data, but I do sometimes exceed the
texts but provided that is less than 40 it's still cheaper than the
next bundle up.

If I was looking now Asda Mobile would be high up the list. They
allow tethering and their PAYG bundles are reasonably cheap as well.
And before anyone says "GiffGaff" NFG around here, O2 are a 2G only
service...
