3000 Texts on Orange for £1.70 (0.057p per text)
Buy more magazine, go to page 69 and take the voucher to your nearest Orange shop. They'll give you a SIM card with 3000 evening and weekend texts free for the first month. If you wish to carry on with the 3000 texts then you'll need to top up £15 each month.
The offer expires 17th October if I remember correctly, and it can take up to 14 days for the offer to kick in, so that'll take you up to 31st October.

Do you know if this has an expiry date?? Because you could theoretically get 12 magazines,and then 12 SIMS, and change each month ?

can't see why not - they're subject to activation afaik
I got mine off the orange website last week - been texting like mad!
You even get some call credit as well (only about £1 - but hey, it's free!)Tim0 -
My brother in law is the manager for an Orange shop... so I may even avoid the magazine purchase.
I think this thread should have been left in grabbit.. the magazine is a periodical after all, so wont be around for ever.
And it received 2 thanks in 1 minute.. more than a lot of the the threads in there get all week Be nice0 -

3000 texts for £1.70 = 0.05p per text.(not 0.5p per text).0 -
0.057p × 3000 messages = 171p = £1.71 (actual price is 0.056666...)0

£1.71 / 3000 texts = 0.00057p per text.
What you get doing:
0.057p × 3000 messages is not 171p but £171.
I think we've got a crossed line here. When I said 0.057p I meant 0.057 of 1p, not £0.057. This comes from the common confusion that 0.99p is the sam e as 99p, whereas 0.99p is just short of one penny.
My calculation was: £1.70 / 3000 = £0.000566... = £0.00057 = 0.057p. Units don't change when multiplying.
Check:
£0.00057 × 3000 = £1.71
0.057p × 3000 = 171.0p = £1.71
Regardless of what the price is, it's still a fraction of a penny and so very cheap. Sorry for the confusion I may have caused.0 -

0.057p surely is just over 5p. You can't just taken out a few noughts, it changes the figure completely.0
