Rolling Contract
Options
Hi...looking for a bit of advice. Currently with TMobile on a rolling contract £10 per month. As I only use this phone for a couple of calls a month & half dozen texts I am not nearly using £10 pm. I used to be on PAYG & just top it up when I was getting low without it necessarily being a monthly thing. Does this option still exist with any providers anymore...I have no loyalty to TMobile so happy to switch if I can find a cheaper option.

If your phones unlocked then consider the same thing with virgin for £5 a month.
Same network coverage.
But yes you can still get PAYG but its expensive these days with the major names.
Vectone is cheap though.0 -
Maybe have a look at ovivo0

3's '321' PAYG tariff seems good value for low users?0

Ovivo would be my first option (they use the Vodafone network) where you pay an up front £20 then get 200 minutes, 300 texts and 500 mb data every month at no extra charge.
3 have their 321 payg where calls are 3p per minute, texts 2p and data 1p per megabyte. You need a 3g phone. They also have good deals when used in certain countries abroad.
Hope this helps.0 -
For "a couple of calls a month & half dozen texts", the Three deal that Neil mentions would cost=2*3p+6*2p=18pence per month, so it looks a no brainer.
Put difference between your old contract and the 3 deal (=£10-0.18=£9.82) in a savings account. Before you know it you will have saved for something really nice.
Better than throwing it away anyway.0 -
The 3 is certainly a good deal but I'm not sure they have a 3G phone?0

I’ve been on the 321 tariff since end of October and despite one ripoff call to my bank (beware 0844 numbers) it’s been fine – especially the 24hr number porte.
Check if your phone is 3G compatible (I've a Nokia 2330 ex Tesco) and get two FREE sims (including micro sims) at:

DISCLAIMER: I have no position with or interest in the 3 network.
