SIM Only Plan Comparison (Correct to 23/08/2008)

t-mobile is also guaranteed to have most mins on the £30 mark, obviously not including the unlimited calls to same network bit.

So if another network goes above theirs, they will match or beat. Saves switching I guess.

If you sign up then ask for your PAC I bet they'd offer you a really good deal with phone included for £20 p/m to stay with them. You just have to see the retention threads to see how desparate the networks are to keep existing customers.

But you dont get cashback. Actually it depends on the phone they offer you.
If they offer you expensive phone it's great but I am afriad they might only be able to offer you a cheap phone (I mean the phone worths less than £50 on ebay.)

Anyone can answer my questions on the above post? pleaseee

If you keep the £20 p/m sim only deal then you'll get the £90 cashback from Quidco after the 3rd month. If then you decide to ask for a PAC and say you're gonna sign up to a contact elsewhere then I'm sure Vodafone will offer you a good deal to take one out with them. Take a look here to see what £22.50 can get you:

O2 have a promo offer on Simplicty, offering the £25 tariff for £20 per month. Have updated top post to reflect this.

Mr fiish,

Orange have also changed their Dolphin 15 and Raccoon 15 to dolphon 10 and Raccoon 10. Other than the price everything else looks the same as far as i can tell.

keep up the great work!

Thank you ghosti for the heads up - I have updated the opening post with your info and gone through the websites again just now, so the information should be up to date.

That £10/month deal from Orange does look sweet.

Have been on Vodafone sim only 225 min 100 texts for £15 since end June.

Just phoned Vodafone to ask for PAC to transfer to new Orange Racoon £10 a month deal (225 min 100 texts), and was talked into staying with Vodafone as they will now give me the same deal for £9.99 with free bills, one month's unlimited free internet and £5 credit.

Won't be getting the £50 via Cashbackkings or Orange Wednesdays cinema tickets, but I do like Vodafone's coverage, so thought it a good deal.

Hi, i have always only used my mobile for emergencies and to keep in contact with the kids - so used pay as you go and topped up when necessary. I probably used less than £10 per month.

Now i am texting someone regularly and have used over £30 in the last few days (virgin network). I need a contract.

Are there any good ones about - preferably as cheap as possible?

Thanks

You can go with pay as you go still for example o2 do 300 free texts a month when you top up £10 per month and more if you top up more.

Loads of good pre pay deals. Im thinking of going pre pay after my contract is done.

I have T Mobile Flext which suits me well as you get an allowance to use as you wish and now they have a new plan that may suit you

this should be good value as you can get unlimited text for £20 a month.

and its only a 30day contract so if you dont like it you can change it.
