The cheapest Pay As You Go mobile tariff

There are very few phones left at ASDA in Preston so I haven't got one but there is one that is FREE when you buy £20 top up, so I'm gonna try and get that when they are back in stock

I called Orange who is my provider at the mo, I asked them for my Port Authorisation Code (PAC) and got hung up on 3 times...eventually got throught to a good customer services person. I told them I need the code to move numbers over to ASDA. At the time i was Paying 25 per min and 10 pence a text they asked me why I was leaving and I told them the deal Asda are doing. Orange lowered my call charges to 5 pence per min and 3 pence per text. The text price was for 6 months only and I would have to call back and renegotiate. My call charges have now dropped from 25 pence min to 5 pence a minute. I may now not move to Adsa because of the huge drop in my charges, maybe if they up them again I will make the move over.

Just out of interest regarding the ASDA Mobile PAYG scheme, if you buy one of their PAYG handsets you get the (50p) SIM card free with £1 credit on it, so you can make a quick call to a friend, then ring Customer Services (in Scotland) to register the phone, and perhaps set up your credit or debit card for easy Top-Ups.

Their PAYG mobiles are tied to the ASDA Mobile network. "To unlock your Asda Mobile within the first 12 months of purchase will cost £19.99, after which it is free." says their Customer Services. No doubt it could be done 'elsewhere', cheaper. But you'd probably only want to do this if an Even Better Deal than the current ASDA Mobile one came along.

I want to copy my Contacts from the old SIM card to the new ASDA Mobile one, but I found that I couldn't just insert my old SIM card and use the "Copy Contacts from SIM card to phone" function, because it said there were no contacts on the old SIM. (It lies!).

Can anyone recommend a (cheap) SIM Saver device, perhaps USB, which actually works, reliably, to transfer Contacts from an old SIM card to a new one? There are several cheap (and nasty) SIM Savers reviewed on various websites, and some just don't work, it seems, even corrupting the original SIM card...

Sorry, but 1MB -- 1000KB therefore virgin's 0.5p/K -- £5.00/MB. Data is measured in bytes, speed is measured in bits. The prices you see are all per Megabyte and therefore don't need to be multiplied by 8(!).

to be precise its actually £5.12 per Megabyte as theres 1024kbytes in a megabyte.

Not being pedantic but accurate.
