Advice on best minutes for £10 a month sim only contract please.....

I am currently using ASDA PAYG and I feel I would be better of on with a £10 monthly contract. I do not need a free phone and through choice I find Voda or O2 better reception in my area than Orange/T Mobile & 3.
The standard deal seems to be 300 mins for £10, I do not use internet on my mobile and only use about 50 texts a month. I would prefer a rolling monthly contract rather than a fixed 12/18/24 month through choice.
Has anyone seen any current good deals that I should look at?
Many thanks for any help.

    Giffgaff pay as you go for £10, 250 mins, dont remember how much texts and unlimited internet. No contract at all.

    Hi
    No sure if it's still available but I have a sim only 12m deal from t- mobile
    600 xnet mins
    Unlimited UK landline calls (3000) fair use
    Unlimited ( 3GB) not capped at 500 mb like other t-mobile tariffs
    500 text message
    It costs me £7.50 per month but I've already had for about 6 months so not sure if it's still available but may be worth you giving them a try.
    It is a 12m deal but for the money it's pretty good.

    That's a good deal.

    Is there anywhere like Giff Gaff that doesn't use o2? I don't get an O2 reception at work.

    Because they "dont need internet at the moment"?
