Please can I tap into everyones collective knowledge?

I'm currently on Orange PAYG and want to remain PAYG but do not mind changing network. My daily usage is about 5 mins of calls and 10 texts. Having looked at the different providers it seems that O2 Online Pay & Go 'Talkalot with Messages' tariff would be the cheapest for the usage.

Please can anybody recommend any cheaper alternatives (including using extras, bolt ons etc)?


Thanks
SB

    As you also get to keep the £10 you put on each month, thats about the best you are going to get.

    With the O2 Online PAYG tariff you get 300 Free Texts each month for a £10 top up plus get to keep the £10 balance, however top up £15 each month and you'll get the 300 Free Texts plus 150 Off Peak X Network mins and the £15 to keep.

    You need to switch to the Talkalotmore tariff if you want the free off peak mins. To do this you need to text "More" to 21300

    Am I correct in thinking that I can keep my current mobile number by requesting a PAC code from Orange?
