    I just moved from Vodafone to ee having been with Vodafone for 18 years. The sim only package deal was so much better than Vodafone could offer. In addition ee has WiFi calling for my phone which makes it usable in my house.

    It's not surprising they are losing business.

      The only reason to stay with them used to be the breadth of the roaming package. The problem is that they have let even this fall into disrepair.

      They now no longer have all European countries for crying out loud. I travelled around the Balkans last summer and it was hilarious - they had Bosnia and Herzegovina including the (supposedly) lawless lands of Republika Srpska, but they did not have Monte Negro as anything but at "you are in some place god forgot" roaming level.

      The only thing keeping me from moving all phones to Three is the lack of roaming in the European backwater and practically non-existent coverage in Germany. If they fix that, Vodafone can kiss the 5+ contracts our household holds with them goodbye straight away.
