Cheapest Pay as you go

I was on Fresh but because they are stupid so i'm moving on. Who's cheapest at the moe? I'd really like to find another network that does 15p any network and 5p texts without a mouthy topup. Now Easymobile has gone am I dreaming?

  • Try the Tesco Value network 5p texts 15p calls!

    https://www.tesco.com/mobilenetwork/
  • t-mobile looks rather good at the moment (for an occasional user).

    12p per min anytime - looks like I'll have to dig my old sim out. Anyone know when they made it that cheap?

    even better is that you get 20% extra on £20 top ups


    Also Virgin is a fairly safe bet.

    I'd say tesco value, they have pretty good reception, certainly better than Orange, in my area anyway :D

    How much do O2 charge for texts then?

    Is it more than 5p with Tesco Value? :think: ;)

    How much for cross network calls at peak times, is that over 15p/min? ;)

    Cheapest overall way would be to have 2 T-Mobile Sims.

    One on 12 p x-net tariff the other on 3p text tariff.:D

    Hmmmm :think: you have a link to that, sounds better than tesco (though tesco does piggyback off O2...) :D

    Sounds a good idea - buy a dual sim adaptor if you can get one for your phone - can find lots on ebay.

    I have an old unused t-mobile sim with 10 quid one it - will it automatically be on the 12p tariff or will it be on some legacy tariff?
