    It must be said (and I know I'm not the only person who has mentioned this), you are quite rude Suzkin. And for someone who is asking the advice of others, perhaps you should show just a little gratitude for the time MSE members are spending in order to help you, otherwise they may be less inclined to help you again in future.

    Just doing a similar search, for our second fone, on SIM only.

    o2 = 300txts & 150mins & free voicemail
    Virgin 200mins & unlimted txts & free voicemail

    Hope that helps

    t-mobile launched unlimited texts on £10 top ups last week, visit their site.
  • As other posters have said, Suzkin, we are only trying to help.

    Ultimately, it DOES depend on your usage.

    You state you have a £10 a month budget - therefore it's safe to assume you want to spend as little as possible.

    If you only use ONE minute of calls a month, Asda would obviously be better for you, as you'd spend 8p a month. However, if you send 100 texts, and also make 100 minutes of off-peak calls per month, Orange would work out better for you.

    Ultimately, your question shouldn't be "what's the most I can get for my £10", but "Which of the choices would satisfy my needs and cost me the least?"

    Why not post what you actually NEED? You don't mention if you need data, if things like 2-4-1 cinema would benefit you...

    ...or even if you actually live in an area with Vodafone or Orange signal ;)
