As above … looking to move from EE as their costs are outrageous. Especially for overseas roaming.
1PM have decent bundles and use the same bandwidth as EE as they’re one of the MVNOs.

any real world experience?

Me and Mrs use it as EE is the only decent signal in our village. Works fine and very cheap if you aren't a big data user. Finland in February I think was the same costs as at home.

Yes. Moved the family to it with a MSE deal the other year.

Then found EE to be … as great as all the other networks in the NW.

If EE works for you then 1p is OK. Easy to set up and cheap for SIM only.

I’m now with ID (three network) which is just differently bad.

No. 2 child is on it as a minimal PAYG user. Seems fine.

yep. Not a mobile device user me. Trouble is it auto tops up every 3 months with a tenner. That's about 18 months use for me if I am being extravagant. Never need a mobile.

I keep swapping back and forth between Lebara offers (often 1p-£3/m for 10gb/unlimited for 6 months) and TalkMobile (currently £4.50/m for 15gb/unlimited). Both are Vodafone underneath.

And for cheap roaming, we've discovered esims this year for youngest that save a metric shed load of money...

@prettygreenparrot what's wrong with ID? I'm signed up with them but not had any issues, would be good to have a heads up.

ID are AOK. The offer I found via moneysavingexpert for a new phone and a chunk of data (100GB/month) was cheaper than buying a new phone and maintaining my very cheap ~10GB 1p SIM. Though this seems common now. A contrast to the mid 90s!

My main complaint is that three, like every other network, has variably poor coverage.

For clarity, I would rather buy service from ID or 1p than the network originators. 1p and ID have kept themselves to themselves in terms of ongoing offers and marketing. A contrast to O2 when I was with them.
