texts not so much talk - deals?

Anyone know the best deal for mobiles which tend to be used primarily for texts rather than calls? Would prefer one that isnt an 'online' deal too - have had problems in past with those.

    Orange do 3000 text messages a month, with no minutes for £20 a month. Advertised as a web only offer, but they match them instore if you ask
  • quite simply, go for a pay as you go o2 sim. 10 pounds monthly topup gets you 300 free txt
  • Thanks for the advice given...might look into the £10/month O2 SIM deal as i sounds promising - is this with an O2 SHOP, rather than O2 ONLINE tho?
    Also, would it involve monthly statements or is it a pure 'pay as you go' type of deal?
    Txs again...... :)
  • My O2 shop told me that they couldn't give me this deal as it was online only. Its a PAYG deal and is available here

  • How about this deal - http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/offerdetails_white.aspx?offercode=VODVF67

    Beats the o2 online deal - you get 250 texts a month, 900 off peak mins, a free ericsson t610, £10 cashback...oh and a free clock!!! All for £4.99 per month.

    I got one a year or so back in an o2 shop in Bath, and saw them in an o2 shop in London recently. Looks like you have to shop around a bit Don't use it anymore, so forgot all about it
