SIM only or PAYG advice/recommendations please

Hi all,

I am currently on a Vodaphone SIM only £10pm SIM only contract, and as good a deal as it is (although I can't remember exactly what I recieve), I get lots of anytime anynetwork mins and texts, I am looking at alternative options.

Before this I was on O2 simplicity, which again was a very good deal for the mins and texts I recieved, but again I rarely used the bundle of texts/calls I paid for.

I don't need a phone, I am happy with the one I currently have.

I am only an occational mobile user, but I do need both calls and texts - yet currently I go nowhere near my text or call limit!(and I don't expect to - I have a great deal on my home phone contract for the calls I make and also use skype at home.

I am now looking in to alternative (and cheaper) options, but I also don't want to find myself in a situation where I have run out of credit when I really need it, such as in an emergency (which is my concern with PAYG).

I have looked at Giffgaff and they have a £5 per month SIM but it includes texts only and no calls.

If possible I would also like to keep the number I currently have.

Can anyone recommend any alternatives? What do other people use?

Thanks in advance for your comments/advice/recommendations,

D9
