chepest way to have minutes, not tied in contract

Is there any pay as you go that you can buy a bundle with minutes or the only way to go is a sim-only contract. I don't need a new phone and to be tied in a contract, but need minutes urgently.

Suggestions?

    Three:

    they allow you to 'stretch' a top-up

    £10 gives u 100 mins, £15 gives u 300, £20 gives u 500 and £25 gives you 700 - you have 30 days to use this allowance.

    Otherwise the £10 a month Virgin Liberty Sim gives u 200 mins/200 texts a month.

    Thanks, but for 3 you need a 3G phone unfortunatelly.

    Hi im new here well just wanted to say that tesco mobile is very cheap
    it has the cheapest monthly tariffs at 15 pm for £60 usage pm

    also its payt tariff is very good top up £20 you get £40 free credit giving you £60 credit

    regards
  • Totally ignoring my other thread ranting about their £10 admin fee for replacing a SIM Card, I found T-Mobile to offer the best no tie-in contract...

    For £15 per month I get 350 minutes and 650 texts...

    No ties per se... you're free to leave whenever as long as you provide 30 days notice which isn't really anything...
  • If you are a Virgin Media customer you can get a really good sim only text/minutes deal from Virgin Mobile.

    We have O2 simplicity on-line. 30 day contract, 600 minutes, 1000 texts plus a bolt-on - I have unlimited web browsing, she has free weekend calls, for £20 each. No brainer.
