Ds2 is looking to get a mobile phone for Christmas. He is very keen on the Lg Cookie. He has never had a phone before but is intereste in texting and the odd picture messaging. (I think)
Which paygo tarrif would you recommend?
I see that O2 are charging 25p per min for the first 3 mins per day...that seems really expensive to me......

TIA

O2 have a basics package for 5p a txt and 15p per minute, I was on 25p a min and just moved to this.
Orange have a tariff for 3p a txt and probably 25p per min. DS1 on this.
DS2 is on T Mobile,3p a txt and 15p per min (Known as text appeal tarrif).
Once you get on with a provider if you are not happy with deal just phone and ask for your pac code( required to take your phone number to another provider) and they usually offer you a much better deal. Both Sons were paying 15p a txt originally and they now get 5 for price of 1.:j

One of the Orange packages, Dolphin, gives you 300 'free' texts when you top up £10. Calls are 25ppm and picture messages 30p each. It also gives free access to Facebook.
