    No, £1.50 cost is high enough
    Hi all,

    I've decided to get a cheap mobile phone soley to use for text comps and wondered if anyone knows which mobile companies (if any!) don't charge you for those type of texts? I'm paying 10p a text at the moment which does add up!!

    Thanks for your help, :T

    As far as I'm aware all of them do charge, they're not included in contract bundles either unfortunately. The only totally free text comps are the Walkers ones at the moment, but I think it's rare to find any.

    Win one of five Furry Vengeance goody bags. The pic shows a stationary set (rulers, pencils, sharpener etc), Pencil case, Stickers, Torch and a few other bits. It does say items are subject to change.

    Hi hun, unfortunately they all charge, depending on your network it's either 10p or 12p. Not great in that respect.

    I bought a phone from Phones4U, it cost me £14.99 & had £10 credit on, it's a Nokia & it's fantastic to use, in fact, I've started using it more than my smartphone :rotfl::rotfl:

    I set myself a limit, I normally top up once a week (on o2) around £15 & just use that ;) If I can't afford it one week then I just don't do it.

    I like being with o2 as I have been with them for many yeasr, but it's personal preference of course. You can also buy top-ups on ebay for cheaper, you get £10 for £8 ;)

    Also, with o2, you get a suprise every time you top up, win prizes etc :D

    I realise it's not completely what you asked :o Just thought I'd share the possibilities you have xx

    Too many of you have jumped on the competitions bandwagon, you all want sopmething for nothing.

    Keep your grubby benefit grasping hands off the prizes which are meant for true competitors.

    Those who have jumped on the comping bandwagon have spoilt it for all genuine compers out their.

    You may be happy with a few mugs and crusty olD packets of chips but leave the real competitions to the true experts.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Could say the same about you, you and your 'rich' hubby have enough money to buy anything you want, so maybe YOU should leave the competitions to those who can't afford to buy these things.

    What an arrogant point of view you seem to have, and you have just stereotyped all compers to be on benefits, and as far as I'm aware, 99% of compers are retired, working part time, full time or have a disability.

    To be perfectly honest, it doesn't matter anyway, people can jolly well do what they like, benefits or not, who are you to judge anyone?

    I think your opinion would be best away from these boards, where all of us work damn hard & spend our own money to help others enter competitions.

    If you don't like it, don't do it, just don't come on here and moan,

    You're just a very very rude woman!!

    I've reported to abuse too on the other posts they've done. Someone has too much time on their grubby little hands!
