Best £5 per month SIM only deal

Hello.

I have an unlocked phone and am looking for a SIM only deal.

I can spend about £5 per month, and don't mind signing up to a 12 month contract.

I need unlimited texts, at least 100 mins, and at least 100 MB.

Any suggestions gratefully received :)

    I don't think that you'll find both internet and unlimited texts for £5.

    Check chitter-chatter (with a free booster).

    You have to either sacrifice something or to increase your amount to £10 (see giffgaff).

    If this is what you "need" then you need to pay more than £5/month.
    If by "at least" you mean "I'll probably use more than this" then you need to consider run-on rates very carefully (sometimes ridiculous like 30p/min or 60p/MB)

    As grumbler says, something will need to give.

    You can get 100 mins, 100 texts and 100MB for £5.11 on Talkmobile (only via Carphone Warehouse) but all those extra texts would be 12p each. You need to decide which you could compromise on - minutes, data or texts.
  • I found this which has £8 pretty good.


    I have £5.01 per month 300 texts 300 mins and unlim broadband but this is a loyalty talk 15 package with discount because I have been with themso long.

    They just offer me more each time I tried to go payg and to be honest I hardly use it really.

    I'm getting the £1 offer for my dad as it's a really good one for keepping in touch.

    Hopethis helps J


    sorry not able to post links as I'm new but it was under talkmobile offers

  • Thank you very much for your replies.

    I went through my mobile bills for the past year and found that I've never used more than 100 mins or 400 texts per month. My data charges have been low as I've used mainly free wifi at home and in coffee shops, but I'd like to be able to check my emails without worrying.

    Roundtoit, I've gone via Topcashback for the deal that you posted. If the £30 cashback comes through I will effectively be paying only £3 per month :) Even it it doesn't, this is still a good deal. Thank you!
