I like the look of Fresh Mobile PAYGo, has or does anyone use them, and what are they like.
Many thanks.

    I use them. The only thing is its a bit of a pain if you want to find out your remaining balance, you have to call an 0870 number which will cost you 15p from your handset. Apart from that they seem to be spot on. I think credit used to expire after 90 days, but this seems to have been removed from their terms and conditions now. just have to make a chargeable call once every 90 days to keep your account active.

    there is a 0800 number you can use to check your balance. and i have checked with CPW customer service that foning the 0800 from your fresh mobile is FREE :)

    Ooh excellent - any chance of you posting the 0800 number? I got my little bro a Fresh simcard to use as the call rates are excellent, but I warned him not to check his balance too often because calls to the 0870 number are 15p/min. I believe they do text you when your balance goes below £4 though.

    After doing some googling I found an 0800 049 0800 number but this doesnt work for me. When doing a balance enquiry it tells me my phone number is invalid. Could this number be for the old Fresh phone numbers when the tarriff was slightly different?

    try using the search facility, cos this has been asked, and answered, numerous times in great detail on this board.

    I switched from Fresh to Mobile World, same rates like Fresh but with low intl. calls. I use for mobile calls to the US at 5p/min.

    Thank you to everyone for their reply, I have decided to give Fresh a go and have ordered a Fresh sim card.
