My current contract is coming to an end. I have worked out that I send approx. I send 75 texts a month and no longer use the mobile to make phone calls. The person I send text to is on the ASDA network, and does not want to change. What is the cheapest tariff? I am thinking that Pay as I go will be the best. But which one?
Thanks for your help.

Personally id go for the unlimited txts at tescos for £6 a month.
You would spend more then that if you send 75 txts plus all pay as you gos I have seen these days are a min £10 topup not that is really big issue but for £6 a month at least you are well covered if you need more.

If you used Asday PAYG it would only cost you £3 for 75 text messages 4 pence per text and calls only cost 8 pence.Change is here to stay0

agree, your best off going on asda mobile as texts are 4p each.0

Is the coverage for asda mobile any good ?0

Awacko,
As far as I know, ASDA uses the Vodafone network to run its network... so will be as good as Voda which I would guess without looking will be around 97% of the UK.
You should be fine

Guess im in the 3% then where its no covered as I get a worse signal then t-mobile and thats saying something as with them if i dont have my phone in the right place on my desk then txts wont come through.
My only option is o2 / tesco / giff gaff short of moving.0 -
