Hi
Looking for best deal for us.
Basically speak to each other a couple of hundred minutes a month.
Do speak to other people but not too much, and dont send texts

Where as she uses 18866, to call europe and I like 3g for internet and a few video calls.

Both currently on 3, but deals nearly up.

Would consider sim only deals

Thanks

    T-mobile PAYG mates-rates might do the trick then. Else stick to 3 for inclusive 3-3 mins.

    I'd consider going to Orange... where you both could be each other's magic number (so you get free calls to one another) and get a contract with a low amount of mins and text (200mins +unlim text online at £20 p/m... or 100 mins + unlim text £15). I think you would have to pay a little extra for a web browsing bundle.

    Other option could be to go to O2, where you can get free O2 to O2 calls... good if you have other friends/family on O2. Looks like a package there would cost around £25 p/m.

    I'd look for the best cashback deals via Quidco too.

    I think this looks like a good deal

    lots of other phones further down the page

    But as I have asked on here before, who are Beepy, does anyone have experience of using them?

    I did exactly this at the weekend. £15 per month each but also £150 each Quidco cashback. Quidco back to £50 now though.

    Please don't all jump on me saying three mobile is bad. I have been on it for years and have had no problems. The only downside is the indian call centre!


    I recently took out a 2nd contract in my name for my wife. Because its a second contract, the 2nd phone gets an extra 2000 three to three minutes each month, ontop of the contract minutes / texts. I believe this can also be done if two contracts are taken out at the same time. Ontop of this you would get quidco.

    As for mobile internet, you can buy an add on for £5 on month which gives you up to 1GB (i think) of internet browsing. I have this find it fantastic.

    Hope this helps.
