You can pick a number. Still some good ones.I just got a Golden One.

Refer a friend, get £10 credit.

Minimum top up £10.But you can only top up by a valid UK debit card.

Thank you for posting details of this:beer:

Does anyone know which network they use? I ask because T Mobile has poor reception in this area.

I believe they are a virtual network using T-Mobile's hardware to carry the calls, so if you don't have good coverage then they're probably not for you.

I note that they are charging for the first full minute and then in one second increments.

I note that their charges for 0800/0808, 0845 and 0844 are set at 9p per minute and calls to the dreaded 0870 are set at 12p per mintue. This seems to me to be quite good for pay-as-you-go, compared with other networks.

Their tariff sheet is nice and clear, and easy to find which I like to see. But, I noted that there is no tariff showing for 0871. I don't like the fact that it costs 6p to enquire about the balance.

Guardian Money is recommending this deal today, but warning that roaming is expensive- 40p for texts from mainland Europe, but great if you don't go abroad- they are saying it should put pressure on other companies to drop their prices.

I got the IKEA email too today and am considering going for this deal.

I'm with 3 at the moment though and have only been with them since about March - I got one of their £30 LG phones when I switched to them (Pay As You Go).

I'm wondering:

a) if I can still use this phone with a different provider
b) if 3 will let me move my number over after such a short period (I moved the number over from another provider in the first place)

Thanks for any replies; mobile phone stuff just goes straight over my head as I'm really not that interested - I've only used up 1 £10 credit in that 5 month period. However 9p / min for calls and 6p per text would be better than 12p and 12p anyway!

Thanks

You need to make an initial deposit of £10 for call credit to get a sim card.

PS reccommend a friend and you get £10 credit when they activate - I've reccommended everyone I know!

Does this mean all your friends have to pay £10 before you get the tenner credit yourself?

another big step for t-mobile - they have 60% of the mnvo uk market in their pocket.

If you actually add the customers within the mnvo's and t-mobile's customers together they are the largest network in UK, not 4th as you imagine.
