Using Orange Payg Magic Number costs £10 a month and 15p a call.

Vodafone Payg Family costs £5 a month and no call charge.

it doesnt 'cost' £10 a month, you just have to top up at least £10 a month! - you can use that credit for whatever you want
where as voda 'charge' you you dont get to use that money for anything else as far as i am aware!

how can your girlfriend go over a flext 35? its a £180 allowance! are you calling 0845 numbers or texting tv shows, just out of curiosity?
that idea of a payg sim could keep her payments down, as its a phone she could use for purely calling you!! when you say huge bills too how much do you mean? she can up her tariff on a flext to the flext 50 which is a £255 allowance but means she is saving in the long run!!

I ask her the same question!!!! she doesnt use the 0845 numbers, maybe its because i am on o2, so the charges are more, im not sure!!

Her last bill was a £163.00!!!!!! And mine was a £140.00 I get a 1000 minutes a month, this is really eating into my monthly budget! not very moneysaving at all!!!

I think that the Voda option is the most viable option guys, now I just got get her to pay the £5.00!!!!:D :rotfl: lol

Think it maybe a pay and go chip for both of us, or maybe a cheap sim only contract from voda web site, they have a 1000 text a month available at the moment!!

while they've still got the other contracts for other calls, and if they both want to initiate calls to each other, that's £20 worth of credit that isn't needed

only 1 phone needs to top up the tenner
and i didnt understand what you ment by the rest

reehsetin

is it that if they want to call each other then they have to top up a tenner on each?
me and my bloke do it all the time i get unlimited free calls to oranges and he just 1rings me and i ring him back - not a problem
if he doesnt want to do that hes got his usual phone to ring her for quick convos

How about Vodafone stop the clock? Talk for up to 60 minutes and pay for 3, if you have inclusive minutes they come out of that, can be used to call landlines, other vodafones or any other network.
