Is there anyway you can get cheap texts and stay on PAYG?

This is hoping against hope, but still...

Is there anyway you can get texts cheaper than 12p a text on orange?

I am also looking for a way of making mobile to landline calls cheaper.

Thanks for any help

    Thanks!

    Topping up 10 quid a month seems more like contract by proxy reward.

    Only 3p each if you use all 400 within 30 days. With T-mobile they are 3p a text whether you send 1 or a 1000.:T

    Hi, could you please tell us how you get free texts with O2?
    I know last month I topped up my PAYG O2 but I've never had free texts.
    Thanks,
    Pj
