Sim only, monthly contract

Options
Looking for a Sim only deal as I got a new moby for Christmas.

Currently with orange, my contract is up at the end of the month.

Orange can not match the data on Tesco & Virgin deals, they offer:
150 anytime minutes, 500 texts & 250mb data for £7 on a 12 mth contract.

Tesco do a £7.50 12 mth contract which has 250 mins, 5000 texts, 500mb of data

Virgin do a £7.00 1 mth contract which has 150 mins, unlimited texts, 500mb of data.

Since I don't make a lot of calls or texts then either of those deals would be great for me. So do I stick with Orange or go for a deal with more data?

    if you have a smart phone, 250mb isn't a lot of data.

    Three offer a sim w 200 mins, loads of text and unlimted data for £6.90 (?) a month.
  • Thanks Lottie

    Yes but no unlimited data ( All-you-can-eat data) .;)
  • Still better than Orange though who are only offering 250 data.

    Thanks everyone.

    So I guess the next question is who will be the better provider: 3G, Tesco or Virgin?

    Virgin Mobile.

    Your tariff gives you:
    • 150 minutes

    I know very little of 3 and Tesco but have had Virgin in the past. Found them to be very good.

    May be take the Virgin offer because they run of the same network as orange now EE....if your signal is OK that is.
