Cheapest sim only deal?

Witham

We use about 4 mobis in the family, contract ended but phones still good. thinking of going on a sim only deal (contract or PAYG). I've looked at asda, 8p/min no line rental or anything. Anyone found any better deals out there? Would rather just have a low price per min rather than bundles than we pay for and maybe not use.
You're either Witham or against'em

    ASDA and Tesco (Lite tariff) are tied best for price per minute and price per text.

    ASDA:
    + Internet is cheaper
    + Uses Vodafone's network
    - Pay 49p for a SIM.

    Tesco
    + Uses O2's network
    + Free SIM and £4.50 cashback from Cashback Kings if you top up £10
    + You can double up clubcard vouchers to top-up
    + Get 3 points per £1 you spend on top-ups in store (Possibly 4 now that all Clubcard points are doubled)
    + If you submit to one of their daft direct debit top-up methods then you can get 10% off of those top-ups
    - Internet costs 20 times as much as ASDA :eek:

    Your pick.

    (And yes I am aware how biased I sound, but I'm pretty sure I've exhausted all the positives for ASDA)

    If it is still the same you do not need to pay 49p for the Asda sim if you buy a top up at the time of acquiring the sim instore.
