is Ovivo worth a go ?

As my contract is ending I thought I might try it. I do very little on websites and call about 150 mins a month and I don't know what text messages are for so that is irrelevant for me.
Any advice greatful

    Ovivo sounds ideal for you. As long as you don't need to rely on their data service (which is slow at best), Ovivo is fine for phone calls :)

    As said sounds ideal for you. To be honest I am actually using Ovivo data most days now, once I get past their ad page ( you need to let it load fully then click continue) I am getting around 2.5Mbps which is around 12 times faster than my home broadband has been since Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!

    No, you only get them while using mobile data
    (Well, you also get Email ads all the time)

    No you don't get ads on Wi-Fi. I don't get email ads either as I clicked unsubscribe from them, so I don't get them anymore.

    Normally wherever I am, I have access to Wi-Fi, so very very rarely need to use ovivo data service, but everything else is fine. You even get bonuses for topping up
