Hi

What is the best network on Pay As You Go for someone who uses their phone more to text and only rarely to talk

    o2 online gives you 300 texts for £10 (+keep £10). oranges gives you 300 texts for every £10 up to 1000 texts (I think). Not sure if you get to keep you money as well with orange though

    o2 without a shadow of a doubt. Hit it when they have the free sim cards and you cannot lose. o2 will not be beaten on pay as you go text deals

    Orange top up £10 in January get 300 messages and you get to keep the £10, top up £20 in Feb you get 600 messages the next montha nd get to kepp the £20

    God if you text more than 10 a day

    You dont have to top up by £10 to get first months 300 texts, you get them anyway when you choose that text plan,irrespective of whether you top up or not.

    But i would suggest 02 is better . 300 texts if you top up by £10 plus the £10 which you get to keep buys another 100 texts. =400 texts a month for £10! Comes to 2.5p a text not bad!
  • Another benefit of O2 is that if you miss a topup for a month and then topup, your free texts start within 24 hours, whereas with Orange they start the month after.

    I have seen advertised before a virgin version of the o2 online sims. But only once a long time ago. No idea if they still do it, or whether there is a link to info
