Summary
The amount of videos, games and apps many phone users use these days mean that a measly 1GB of data isn’t enough for most users. Most need between 5GB and 10GB.
Idris from EE looked like he couldn’t really be bothered to answer my query.
Rory from O2 wasn’t that much better and his recommendations were really vague.
Alamin from Carphone’s honesty about the iPhones was refreshing.
Tommy from Vodafone picked up a shaky start with a solid sales technique.
Three’s George takes the crown, however, for giving me plenty of detail about the products and really giving me a personalised service.
