    Still think Fresh is better as no voicemail charging and 5p per min and 1.7p texts, still not sure how easymobile can be better

    Well, Fresh is slightly cheaper if you top up 10£ - get 20£ free credit from Fresh - and use exactly 30£ of calling within 30 days. If you use less or more the price will be higher per minute or SMS, and if you don't use the credit within 30 days it's gone. With easyMobile the announced price holds up no matter what usage and when it occurs. And for the lucky ones signing up now there is 5£ additional credit which I take it will halve the prices for the first minutes/SMS. No grudges though, I am still very happy with easy.

    EasyMobile & Fresh both use T-Mobile's network so providing the mobile can accept T-Mobile's simcards you will be ok. If not, then you will need it unlocking. If it's a Nokia phone then read thread.

    I'm not sure that that's true as I was under the impression that the initial £20 extra credit did indeed have to be used within 30 days but then subsequent top ups did not as long as you made at least 1 call every 60 days.

    I may be wrong though as I have said previously in another thread even the staff at CPW didn't seem to know for sure. Does anyone know?!!!

    It works like this:-

    If you top-up by £10 today (26 April), you would get an extra £20 credit as well (£30 total). Now you only have 30 days in which to use this credit but the catch is that the first £10 you use is actually the £10 you topped-up with. Therefore, if you only spend £15 within the 30 days from today (£10 from your actual money, £5 out of the promotional credit) - the rest you lose as its the promotional credit.

    On top of that, there is a maximum promotional credit of £40 in any 30 day period. Therefore, topping up by another £10 just within the 30 days (say the 25th April) then you would only get £10 extra credit as you will have had £40 credit within a 30 day period.

    I was told by their customer services themselves and not via the CPW staff in their retail stores. One staff in their retail stores tried to say that it is the promotional credit that is used first and not your actual credit, but cust services said it was the other way around!

    In my opinion, you are best with EasyMobile unless you don't use the phone a lot and there is a chance that EasyMobile will levy their charge for non-use on you.
  • Hiya, me again.

    Even if your phone is locked to the T-Mobile network you will need to unlock it before it will accept one of our SIMs.

    Glad the port went ok kmhtkmhtkmht and welcome to easyMobile.com
