Advice on which Tariff please

clare64

I have a cheap mobile phone which I use about 6 times a year so I know absolutely nothing about call packages and tariffs.
We have just bought my Son a Samsung Galaxy Y he will use it to make the odd phone call and to look at the internet
We do not want a monthly tariff so are looking more at PAYG however, I am really confused at which is the best.
Can anyone give me a bit of guidance please

Worth a look if you want data included

You don't say how old your son is, but if dependent on you to keep him financially afloat, then either a PAYG such as giffgaff or a network like Tesco who offer a capped contract that should avoid big bills.

Remember that Galaxy Y or any Android only becomes fun for youngsters using data and data outside bundles is expensive, so get a PAYG with decent data (500mb per month if son won't be using wifi)

I don't understand their offer. I read it as "pay £10 and get 100 mins, 100 texts, etc... every month, even if you never top up a penny again" - but that can't be right

Yes it is right ...it was cut down to 50 mins and 50 texts but it went up to 100 for both now.

It works on the Vodafone network and no problems with it for me although I only use it as a back up phone

So you could just pay an initial £10 and never pay a penny more?? Surely not.

It's correct. I have one and it's great. I stil have the intial credit in case my allowance is ever exceeded. It is a bit light on some allowances but for on onoing cost of ZERO then it's fine.

Yes it's true

When you pay the £10 it stays in credit unless you use up your 100 mins and then it charges you 6p a min or whatever, which comes out of the £10 balance.
I think you get a text saying when it gets down to £2.50 and suggest topping up etc but I've never used up my minutes anyway

What's the catch? Why is everyone talking about guff gaff instead of this?
