Pay_As_You_Go(PAYG) tarriff with Unlimited Texts

Hi everyone,

I once have a 3 network tariff called Stretch. With £10, it gave me unlimited text for 90 days.

I promised an organization for a similar tariff but unfortunately 3 is no more doing it.

I don't want any contract neither do i want any sim only deals.

Is there any PAYG tariff that can give me unlimited text?

Thanks

    You can get unlimited texts from most of the major phone networks:

    £20 top up on T-mobile:
    FREE unlimited texts to any network to for a whole month. Text MONTHLY TEXT to 441 before you top up

    £20 top up on Virgin: (Addict tariff)
    Unlimited texts and web access

    £30 top up on Orange: (Dolphin tariff)
    Unlimited free texts

    £30 top up on o2: (Text Anytime tariff)
    Unlimited free texts

    £30 top up on Vodafone: (with Text Unlimited)
    Unlimited texts
  • Thanks.

    Too bad that i didn't take multiple advantage on that 3 network one. At that time Stretch tariff gave me 90 days unlimited text with just £10.

    If i can get £10 for 30 days unlimited texts, it will be fine by me.

    Orange will give you 300 free texts with a £10 top up on Monkey or Dolphin

    Virgin will give you 300 free texts with a £10 top up on Addict, but I don't think you can get unlimited texts for a £10 top up anywhere (could be wrong).

    If you only want texts and no calls, I can't actually see what is to stop you using your £10 monthly Virgin credit to buy a 200-text bundle which effectively gives you 500 texts for £10 (but leaves with no other calling credit). Anyone tried this??

    How can they be Free if you have to buy a top up to get them.

    The texts that they give you don't use your top-up, so you end up with a certain number of 'free' texts plus your top-up.

    I suppose they're not really free because you can't get that top-up money back. And even if you could get the top-up back, they earn interest on it once the money has left your account and gone into theirs.

    I just purchased a 3 phone but I was not aware about the free texts and I am now regretting purchasing this S2 from 3.
