Lebara Port dance

Lebara is constantly having some amazing and super cheap deals for X months, I used to take advantage of those, find a different network to port my number (and risk to lose my number) and then back to Lebara, up to point that i got really tired.

So now i am sticking with a provider that i am happy, offering esim and with great coverage, where i live and commute. I have started using Lebara as a secondary sim and getting a new one every time there is a good offer and cancel auto renew for the old one.

I wonder if people are still doing the port dance every few months.
 
If you're not making masses of calls/texts an alternative would be a dual-SIM phone with prepaid data from Scancom (e.g 25GB for about £2pm) and a PAYG SIM for calls/SMS e.g. iD Mobile 3p/min, 2p/SMS or RWG 2.5p/min, 2.5p/SMS as they have regular half price offers.

That should come close enough to the best deals that it's not worth investing time/stress PAC dancing every few months.
 
Good deals but comes with a side of data breach?

I just got my third email this month containing another customer’s data. Last one had phone number, address and name. Last month I had 4 emails. Someone in CS needs to turn auto complete off or check who they’re emailing.

I don't do it every single time but when there is some other reason it fits.

Eg I ported via Three PAYG at the start of the year as I went to Jersey and it was the easiest route.

I ported via Talk Home back in summer on the 1p deal as I wanted to give EE coverage a go on the cheap and try out their roaming. I put the Lebara £1.25 offer in my second slot. I ended up porting back my number onto the Lebara offer because despite how some people rave, I didn't find EE so much better I wanted to stick with it, eg there is almost no EE signal in my office (which is ironic given my work phone is on EE...)

I am likely to go to Switzerland early next year (which is when my £1.25 offer runs out) so will likely end up port dancing for that trip. Likely through Three or Spusu. If there is any gap I'll just move my Lebara plan allowance down to £6 10GB as it's still an ok price.
