I have to make a call to a fixed line tonight, trouble is I don't want to eat up my contract minutes so early in the month, I have a sim unlocked handset, what i was wondering is which PAYG deal will give me the most minutes for £10, options were Asda, tesco, 3, Voda , Orange ,O2 & t-mobile, at a quick glance Asda looked favourite but then a check on Orange suggested I may get 100mins evening and weekends for a £10 plus of course my paid for minutes, having been with Orange before I'm wondering if it is a smokes and mirrors 'offer' on their canary pack
Any quick suggestions before the shops close? :o

    An O2 favourite place SIM will give you 500 minutes for £10 but only from a specified postcode (your house for example)
    Not sure how long it takes to activate though once you've topped up - you could ask in the shop.

    I have an O2 contract but I do have some payg sim cards what they have sent, just checked the balance on an orange sim I purchased with my satio and there is £7.50 credit remaining so should do me for the call but will re-look at the O2 as I have gotten rid of my landline :o
    Thanks once again.
