PAYG deals

Luv2Budget

Does anyone know of any PAYG deals where you do not have to top up every 3 months.

Thanks

AFAIK none PAYG deals require this, although often you can have some incentives for topping up.

OK - thanks

I think you may be getting confused with number expiry. If you don't use a PAYG SIM, then after 6 months the SIM is cancelled and the number recycled. And any remaining credit is then lost of course.

The problem is you don't get anything interesting without buying packages which usually lasts one month. Especially data transmission (internet gigabytes).
Standard price in PAYG is a rip-of. You can get a decent deal, but it will last only one month. It wasn't always like that.

For people that use their mobile occasionally for emergencies only the PAYG price is almost irrelevant. And any person that wants to top up less frequently than once every 3 months most likely is this type of user.

You can get 150 minutes, 150 texts and 400mb free every month on PAYG.

Not a bad deal?

Yes I may have been getting confused with the 6 months expiry.

I was asking because I currently have my PAYG mobile, which I have to top up every 3 months, and broadband with O2, so I get a discount. I will be leaving O2 because of the sky takeover, so I was thinking there is no need for me to keep my mobile with them too.

Thanks for your help

It's with ovivo and is ideal for low users. You pay a £15 one off fee then get the £15 credited back to your account as credit.

Then every month you get a free allowance of 150 mins/150 texts/400mb data.

If you go over the allowance then your credit gets used up. But if you stay under the allowance every month then it's basically free all the time.
