I have two teenage sons, and being a great dad, I pay for their mobile phones. Which they are glued to almost 24/7 of course...

Their current contracts with Vodafone expire next month and I would like to explore the dark arts of reducing the cost of their SIM deals. But crucially what ever new SIM-only deal I choose, I need to be able to port their numbers so they can keep the numbers they already have.

They're both currently on 50GB/month services (although I don't think they burn through all 50GB each month) and both have iPhones on Vodafone which together costs me £40/month.

I haven't done this for a long time and it seems rather difficult to find decent information. Any tips/advice/links to secretly good deals? Any providers to avoid, or recommend?

My domestic broadband is with Virgin Media and I believe they have a link to O2 where you can get a discount/enhanced package (Volt?) if you have an 02 Mobile and a Virgin Broadband connection. But it doesn't appear to allow 2 numbers?

Is it likely I can reduce this annoyingly expensive monthly outgoing?

I’ve always bought the handset and tariff separately. We have 4x sim only tariffs on Vodafone. The trick is to wait for Black Friday or another time when they do silly deals. They did “10gigs extra free” a few years ago so my wife and I have 1gig plans that are really 11gigs and cost £12 a month (that is way more data than we actually need). The kids have unlimited data plans for £20 a month which is a spectacular Black Friday deal from a few years ago unlimited basically removes the need to have an argument about them having no data left.
