Was an user of ovivo before they went down and their free plan was more then enough for me.
Looking for something as cheap as possible which would give me at least 200minutes/500texts/500mb data (more data however would be nice)
If possible max £5/month?
Don't want any contract with it.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

    There just aren't any PAYG bundles for about £5 that come anywhere near what you want.


    Have you investigated capped contracts - may last 24 months, are a bit thin on the ground but Tesco does one about £7.50 per month for 24 months that'll cover your needs. You get a phone with it as well I think, possibly the Moto E.

    You can arrange to go a bit over if you hit your limit (it's called a buffer) but you need to arrange it online when required.

    Asda do 100 minutes, 200 texts and 100MB for £5. You can opt to buy another 500MB data on top of that for £5.

    giffgaff: 60 minutes (plus a free extra minute for every minute someone not on the network calls you), 300 texts and 20MB for £5; 200 minutes, unlimited texts and 250MB for £7.50 or 500 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB data for £10. They have payback, allowing you to earn back the cost of your usage and perhaps more besides. If you have an active package and run out of data, it's 2p per MB on top or you can buy a new package immediately, providing you forego anything remaining in your old one.

    There's also a weekly pack from EE with 100MB, 10 minutes and 10 texts for £1, plus a loyalty bonus after 3 months so you can opt to increase one of your allowances slightly. I think you can use this in conjunction with the current offer which gives 100MB free per month indefinitely for one £5 top up.

    We have an inclusive call package from our landline. Does this mean that when we call our daughter (who is on giffgaff) for (say) 20 minutes she could get an extra 20 minutes making calls?

    Yes, she would, provided she's on the £5 Hokey Cokey deal. It only applies to that package (60 mins, 300 texts and 20MB) and not any of the others.

    Does your landline include free calls to mobiles? I've never seen that before.

    "Free" is part of the package! It's the TT Business Complete which, so far, we are very happy with.
