Best SIM Only Deals?

Im looking to take out a SIM Only plan and would appreciate some help as to which network offers the best value for money?

I'm a Virgin Media customer and have looked at their SIM Only deals online but I wouldn't say they're great to be honest. Maybe some of you could post the SIM Only deals that you currently have or have been offered. I would really appreciate it.

I'm looking to pay £10 per month approx for minutes and texts. I do not need internet. Many Thanks in advance.

    The best deal at the moment has gotta be vodafone via quidco cashback.The £20 tariffs are £12 after cashback and £10 tariffs £6 a month

    How many minutes do you actually need?
    Virgin's £5 deal for Virgin Media customers gets 100 mins and unlimited texts, on a 30 day SIM only which looks pretty good.

    I'd probably say around 400-500 minutes would be ideal.

    Have a look at tesco mobile you can get 500 minutes and 5000 texts for £10 a month on a 30 day sim only deal. I think you can still get cashback with topcashback or quidco. And you also earn clubcard points as well.

    T-mobile the same for 12x£15.32, but with £80.80 TCB cashback.

    I can't seem to find the 30 day only SIM on their website, only a 12 month contract. Am I being dim? Is someone able to post a link? Thanks.

    I am pretty sure it's available only on 12 months deal: Tesco deal

    giffgaff gives you 250 min and unlimited text for £10. I have it and it works very well.
