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.

Yes but no unlimited data ( All-you-can-eat data) .;)0 -
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?What goes around - comes around
