The Telegraph said the end of October. They are well-connected with VM and have published several interviews with VM management this year so I am more optimistic than you on 4G. 4G has been my personal bugbear about VM's services along with a comprehensive UK wifi network akin to that offered by BT.

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016

ok but neither do other providers but they don't seem to do much about it. I'm currently with iD mobile and although they don't allow it they have told me they cannot restrict it so in other words you can tether although it's not allowed

Believe unofficially that is the position with Virgin Mobile too IE you can tether providing you are not caught out.! But no tethering is in VMs terms and conditions.

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016

Right. When I spoke to someone high up at VM not long ago they said 4G was coming in Q4 this year then press releases appeared. Do I take the plunge. It would totally be for the extra 2000 minutes and unlimited texts. I already get 4GB with iD mobile. Will VM remain with EE for 4G? iD are on Threes network. Are you with VM?

Yes i would expect 4G to launch in Q4 as it has been well trailed not by VM but by various articles on the net,when it does i would expect them to have a new set of plans with higher data allowances,when exactly it will arrive is anybodys guess other then Q4,nothing official from VM as yet.

I would wait a little to be frank until the launch as the plans may not be as good value.

Yes VM will launch 4G with EE the same as now that is not changing.

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016

Ah sorry I forgot to mention the guy I spoke to said all current plans would transfer over to 4G so plans wise they may tweak but nothing major I don't think?

I would be nice if you just got the upgrade from 3G to 4G with the current contract/sim/phone.

Fingers crossed ;-Ž

I thought a few providers allowed tethering or allowed x amount of gb tethering, although it's been a while since I looked.


It is fairly easy to hide tethering but I think the main thing is, they don't want to have the support costs of people wanting to setup or use tethering. Data wise, it shouldn't matter to them if someone uses their data quota up on their phone or tethered.


I still have 4G unlimited data and unlimited tethering with Three mobile. An old contract which I have yet to be kicked off. They started kicking customers of this contract ages ago but never got around to changing mine. Brought a new phone outright instead of upgrading the one I got through them, not sure if that played a part.


Still shocked that there are UK mobile customers without 4G in 2016!
