Best Value PAYG Sim?

richie2837

Coming to the end of my contract with Orange, and before I call and tell them I'm giving notice I want to arm myself with as much info as possible, cos I know they aren't going to let me go easily and will try offering me all sorts, but I'm cancelling contract out of need to save money and because I barely use my phone anyway so contract is a bit of a waste of money.

Can anyone here suggest what the best PAYG sim-only deals are at the moment, that I can use in my HTC Hero? Ideally one of those "top-up by £10 a month and we'll give you an extra £20" sorts of deals. I do use my phone as a satnav, so will this still work when it's PAYG?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm with the giff gaff gang.

Take a look at their tariffs which are quite good plus you can:
Get free calls to 0800 numbers - I don't know any other mobile that does that
Get a free £5 credit if you pass any sims on to your mates and they get activated
If anyone you know has a giff gaff sim in their phone then you can call and text them unlimited for free

4th vote for giffgaff.

Needs to be ordered online but if you already have a phone you can quite easily get all your calls, texts and internet for effectivly nil cost.

Many give a data allowance that lasts a month with a top up
Post #2 to #5 are pretty much pointless without knowing the OPs usage pattern.
Orange will try your idiocy side by offering a feisty retention deal, was with them for nearly 14 years, ony regretwas not jumping ship much sooner.

Consider a rolling 30 day sim plan -

T-Mobile [100 minutes, 100 text, 500MB data] - £6

buying a £10 goody bag will give you unlimited texts/ internet and 250 mins not just topping up £10 ,

The best deal depends on your requirements (usage). For example, you can get 12 months of internet for £10-£15 in total, but calls and texts will be not cheap.

Ideally one of those "top-up by £10 a month and we'll give you an extra £20" sorts of deals.

This sort of deals is usually a sort of hidden rip-off: Tesco mobile tariff rip off ?

If you are really just interested in data then I like the T-Mobile 6 months of data for £20 deal on PAYG.

This really only works financially if you really don't make any calls at all.

There is also a T-Mobile PAYG iPhone SIM deal which might be worth a look (I assume that you can actually use it in other phones).

For the satnav to work I guess it needs data to download the maps (Googlemaps certainly does).

The best PAYG is definitely Giffgaff by buying a £10 goodybag each month I'd say.

TalkMobile might be worth a look as they do SIM-only for £8-a-month (300 mins, 1000 texts, 500MB data) on a six month contract, and you can £30.30 cashback for taking that at www.topcashback.co.uk/talkmobile/

Talk to Orange about those and see what they offer. Don't rush into agreeing anything until you've looked around though.
