Best Unlimited minutes plans

Doublespresso

What are the best unlimited minutes plans?
Preferably I'm looking for a SIM only deal without a long contract.

Tesco Mobile £30 a month

Tesco £30 a month unlimited tariff, unlimited calls, texts and browsing subject to a fair use limit of £500. All orders are subject to credit check - terms and conditions apply.

Thanks it is a good tariff.
Would any one know about the best deal on "same network" unlimited minutes? Again preferably without a contract.

With Three Pay as you go, you can get unlimited 3 to 3 calls by topping up £5 every 90 days.
You do need a 3g phone though.

GiffGaff, which is a new company owned by O2 and which uses the O2 network, gives unlimited same network calls for a £10 top up every 90 days. http://giffgaff.com/

The e link shows a minimum top up of £10 or have I misunderstood? In any event I cant use 3 due to poor reception in my area.

As for giffgaff, I assume that same network would mean within giffgaff numbers and not necessarily O2, am I right?

One last question, what is the best deal (if at all) for unlimited calls to a specific number/s with a PAYG sim?

You can top up by £5, but you have to do it online.

It may be the initial top up has to be £10, I'm not sure.

Yes giffgaff to giffgaff only.

If you really mean unlimited to various mobile networks, then the Tesco £30 sim only is as close as you'd be likely to get.
If you were to put numbers to it. eg. 1000 minutes a month to same network, 500 minutes a month to other mobiles and 900 minute a month to landlines you may get a different answer.

Thanks for the clarification.

My last question was about calls to predefined numbers, something like Orange Magic numbers or friends and family etc. Are there any PAYG deals in which there are unlimited calls to specific numbers?
