  • Excellent, thanks for adding to this thread. Hopefully a mod will make it a sticky so that it can be updated and others can make good use of it.

    Do you know what network that IKEA and ASDA use?

    No. I don't think ASDA are giving away anything other than a 25p credit to make your first call to activate the PAYG sim.

    3 give you £10 credit if you port your number over to them. So if you buy the sim for £2 at a 3Store, then you're £8 up when you move over :)

    The Tesco Mobile "Triple your credit" PAYG deal is looking the cheapest to me... if you top up with £15 or £20 you get your credit tripled, so calls to your favourite 5 numbers cost 3.33p/min and to all other numbers cost 6.67p/min. Tesco mobile uses the O2 network.

    Does anyone know of a cheaper PAYG deal?

    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
