Hiya,
I have been on Orange pay and go for years and get very little from them so wondered if anyone could recomend a good pay as you go sim from anyone else? I top up about £10 a month roughly and get a few free minutes after 7pm but thats it!
Can anyone suggest some better deals?....
It will be much appreciated! x

  • I'm currently on o2 and they offer a tariff on PAYG which you pay £15 per month for unlimited Texts and internet.

    I basically get 12000 texts and 500g of data. But I just checked their website and it states that it's now £30 you have to top up to get this. £15 will now get you 500 texts and unlimited web.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks doobiesis - I forgot to mention that I do not need internet stuff as my phone is a bit decrepid and I have no use for the net!

    Thanks for the suggestion though :o)

    I too am looking into this from a low user point of view and don't want to top up every month. I hope you find it of help.

    Asda mobile: 8p/min, 4p/text. No min top up. Credit lasts as long as you make a call or text every 3 months. Top up not available on net, but you can set up top up mechanism from your phone. Also top up using a top up card in lots of shops and possibly cash machines. Can call internationally and from abroad. Balance available on phone.

    Family mobile (part of ikea). 9p/min and 6p per text. Billed per second after 1st minute for which there is a minimum charge:
    Pros: top up on net and on phone, call internationally, get statements online (woohoo!)
    Cons: No top up in shops or in cash machines. £5 disconnection fee irrespective of who supplied the phone.

    Thats it so far. As you can see i haven't got far. Partly because I am seduced by the blackberry for which I have absolutely no need.

    Virgin are currently offering their liberty sim which gives you 200 minutes and unlimited texts on a 30 day rolling contract;)

    Oops, just noticed you said PAYG..still a fairly decent deal though and no long term commitment.

    I too am on Orange and its going through my credit like crazy. Costs 20p for anything up to a minute, and even takes 20p when I dont get an answer when I call someone!
    Using £5 in a few days is not good!
