Another interesting new MNVO

Everytime you top up by £5, you get:

100 minutes to other mobile networks
166 minutes to UK landlines
2,000 minutes and 2,000 sms to same network
100 minutes to 0800
100 minutes to 0845
50 minutes to 0843
60 minutes to 0870
30 minutes to 0871

150mbs data

huge numbers of free minutes to other countries.

And you still have the £5 you topped up with (as far as I can tell). It looks like you get all of the above (for 30 days) as a bonus for topping up £5.

    Interesting... ideal for students from abroad for example. Their other services run on Orange so perhaps this does too, doesn't say which isn't very helpful if you need to know if your phone needs unlocking.

    Not good for smartphones, 150mb but it suggests its may be at only 10mb per day which would soon go on a lot of websites these days.

    "When you top up more than £5 in one credit, we'll add a complimentary bundle to your account which gives you 10 Mb free data everyday for 30 days (150Mb total)." after that 5p per mb so not too bad.

    Still, its another choice which may be ideal for some people so its to be welcomed.

    Isn't 10Mb free data everyday for 30 days a total of 300Mb, not 150?
    There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
    It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
    In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
    Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.

    I think you have got the wrong end of the stick here a £ 5 top does not purchase the above.

    They are just giving you examples of what the £5 will buy.:D

    It looks as if they may have changed the deal on bundles. I can't see the one I saw previously on the website now.

    Perhaps it was just too good, so they've discontinued it?


    PS Had another look now. Perhaps it is just very ambiguous and needs to clarified with the mobile company

    It is a tad misleading.;)

    They still show what you quoted originally here https://secure.talkhomemobile.com/THMobile/rates.jsp

    if that was a real offer all that for £ 5, i guess people would be biting their hands off for it, and they would make a big loss on it.
