Capped 30 day contract

Hi

I read somewhere (sorry I can't remember where) that there is such a thing as a 30 day rolling contract which, when all of the inclusive minutes/texts are used, it reverts to a PAYG which you have to top up.

Does anyone know if this is true, and if so which network offer this service?

Would be great formy teenagers - no more worrying that they are going to run up my bills.

Many thanks

Rooty

    Don't know what the deal is called but i have this deal on T mobile for my daughter. We bought the handset and pay £15 a month for 350 minutes talktime and unlimited texts. It works well for us. I think it's called solo (but not entirely sure)

    Tell you daughter to get a Sat job and she get her a £35 recharge on GiffGaff (its like what Genie used to be to BT Cellnet except its payg only) and she cant call, text, surf unlimited with no maximum usage for 30 days.

    TMob stopped that contract/payg option.

    T-mobile Solo Fixed is what you're after. £15 on a 30 day rolling contract. 350mins, 300texts with one flexible booster free.

    It hasn't been discontinued from CPW, I sell them all the time as they're the only contract sim which will revert to PAYG if allowances are exceeded.
    Have I helped? Feel free to click the 'Thanks' button. I like to feel useful (and smug). ;)
