Free Sim deals discussion

Surely THREE has to be the cheapest for PAYG?


I'm just a casual data user visiting the odd webpage, I bought a £10 voucher 2 months ago and still have £8 left.

I hope this 'samsung' is a basic phone, not a smartphone.

All PAYG sims don't need topping up every month because the credit never expires.
However, the sim can be disconnected after, typically, 6 months if no chargeable calls/texts were made/sent.

If the phone is 3g, then Three network is the cheapest for occasional use. Otherwise check Sainsbury's mobile and Tesco Lite (see this recent thread: A non 3g sim card needed)

Yes you can turn off but the kids can also turn it on:rotfl:


As Grumbler says probably 3's 321 would be good as credit doesn't expire and you can also top up online for £5 and you get 150mb free data every time you top up.

You can ask the network to switch it off permanently on their side if you wish.

But that means they'll be able to view whatever that wi-fi lets them, even if mobile data is turned off.
