I wonder how many people on PAYG1 haven't be informed that it all changed on the 11th December! Some of us are used to getting "promotional" texts for Big Value bundles, but if you're a low user you probably, like me, ignore them until such time as you know you're going to want 30 days worth of use. Well I've had several…

My partner is going for a new sim-only deal with o2, which is a lot cheaper than she's currently paying with them.
