    I signed up for 3's 3-2-1 payg deal.
    Put £10 credit on and I got a bonus of 150Mb and 600 texts to use before end of june.
    Just waiting for my number to port now

    I have been using it for a while now. Unlike some other payg networks you can divert calls to another number handy if you cant get signal where you are.

    Use https://www.weq4u.co.uk with it to keep the cost of your 08 calls down.

    Thanks for the reply.

    He uses next to no minutes, maybe 10 minutes a month if he's really pushing it, no texts whatsoever. For that reason I would like a PAYG sim with no monthly fee, just top it up when it runs out.

    Both me and my husband are on Giffgaff. He has the £7.50 a month Goody Bag and so can call me for free all the time but I hardly use my phone so when I top up with £10 I can ring my husband free for 3 months and then I start to use any remaining credit until it's used up.

    I probably top up my phone with £10 every 4-6 months.

    BLOOMING HECK!

    I got a pac code after about an hour!

    based on that quick response - my answer to 'where to go next' will be nowhere with my ovivo number as I put a request in this morning and no response - it says 'Sorry, we've not processed that request just yet'.

    Suspect I used wrong DOB - pity it did not have a check on combination of number, email and DOB before letting you submit form but I should have recorded which one I used. Not the end of the world if I lose this number - just thought I would keep as spare.

    Three 3-2-1 I think is the plan for me.

    Giffgaff 10p a minute is expensive for low users.

    But you do have the advantage of Free Freephone 0500/0800/0808 calls so you can use the likes of http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php for cheaper calls in many cases.

    A lot of women lie about their age ;)

    I use a different one on some sites for security reasons but don't know which I used for Ovivo. Now I just need to remember if I gave that number to any other than a few family members. I need a 'improve your memory course' !

    Or start a little black book and keep an alphabetical list of names, emails and DOBs used for each one?

    I think I'll go for the 321 deal too.

    The free SIM comes with £10 credit pre-loaded. Is it worth adding my own £10 top-up, or not - do you get any added bonuses for that?

    Does this 321 free credit expire?
