    Depends if he is PAYG or Pay Monthly. If hes using alot of texts on Pay As You go it may be better to move on to pay monthly.
  • sorry forgot to mention currently on PAYG but will look at either option which ever will work out cheaper she is not bothered about snazzy phone deals so its basically down to the minutes/texts deal.
    thanks again

    you will need to work out how many texts she send on average a month then from their look at the suited options that suit your noted needs.

    There are many omapnies such as orange that give you 1000 free texts if you top up by 30 a month.
  • T-mobile offer texts on pay as you go for 3p each when on text alert tariff. Downside is calls cost 40ppm cross network and 20ppm uk landline and same network.

    They also offer a text bundle for the 12ppm payg anyone tariff. 30 quid for 1000 messages. This lasts for 90 days rather than just a month like other operators bundles. Don't know if you can have more than one bundle at a time though or if you have to wait 3 months for the next as I use the t-mobile text appeal tariff, and only when my free 300 texts from 02 runs out.
  • O2 do a sim offering 300 texts per month for a £10 topup. The 300 texts are free as long as you keep the phone in credit. You have to top up £10 every month to keep the free texts going. 3p a text - not too bad!
  • also u can sue the net when ur at ur computer! saving that add up! lol
    I Don't like you!
