    Sorry to hijack this but is there an ovivo like service for t-mobile customers like me coming off contract with them?
    Old Faithful we roam the range together,
    Old Faithful in any kind of weather,
    When the round up days are over,
    And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
    For you old faithful pal of mine.

    I use very little mins and texts but quite a lot of data as I listen to the radio when running etc so probably need 1GB. Ovivio good for me?

    First 300Mb free
    Additional 300Mb for £5 or 1Gb for £10.Top up lasts a month

    Why do you think that you can't go to Ovivo from Tmobile?

    Ovivo give you just 300Mb free.
    You can start getting 500 free after 2x£10 topups, [STRIKE]but the remaining 500Mb will still cost you 20p*500=£100 [/STRIKE]extra 300Mb bundle costs £5, 1Gb - £10.

    I had a good look at the website today. So if I paid £10 per month every month I could end up with

    600mins
    600texts
    1.5GB data

    ?

    I was wrong about 2x£10.
    After 6x£10 you start getting free 200+200+500.

    However, for £10 you can buy either 400m OR 400t OR 1Gb. And you have to actively buy a pack, not just topup.

    3 brief calls of 30 seconds each to UK landlines, 3 texts

    On Tesco Lite - that would have cost you 36 pence.

    Why have you dropped £28Mb? I think it costs £18 on Tesco Lite.

    I'd actually be dropping the data as I have no real need to check Facebook on my phone, I don't get emails on it, and only really use it to exchange the odd text or call work if the train is late.
