Hi ,
New to the forum , 1st post, Ive read through the old discussions but forgive me if this was discussed before.
I have an unlocked smartphone, I am coming over to london for about 14 days for a job interview and I want to get an english number - i have a feeling that employers are hesitant about irish numbers and an english number would give the perception of being more available.
Anyway, I intend to move over to england for a job at any rate. The irish market is very competitive offering free calls and texts on 20 euro topups on pay as you go on most providers.
What would be the best pay as you go sim for me? I would be internet surfing occaisionally , texting and making a few voicecalls but nothng over 40-60 minutes a month.
Cheers,

Maybe 02,
Pay and Go, £15 a month top up, which is £15 call time, unlimited web* & text*
N.b. £15 = 60 mins @ peak rate, as calls are 25p, then 5p after 3minutess if to landlines/o2 mobiles.
Im sure this is 30 day rolling, but do check that.
*fair usage applies

15 pound seems fair, ill give it a shot as their money manager card is something id like to check out too.

Nothing else springs to mind for the price you want. But do have alot at the others, vodafone & orange. T-mobile & Three i believe aren't great.
If possible, do see if you can check your signal before signing up/topping up. Although i guess london has a good signal anyway.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
