Which pay as you go is the best?

Mishomeister

Could not find any of this info online.
I am currently looking for a pay as you go deal. Most of companies would offer a so called smart pack, bolt on etc where for say £10 per month you get set number of data and minutes.
Could any one advice which company would offer the most for a tenner?
Many thanks.

Most of what?
It's a combination of minutes, texts and data.

Also, IMO it's an incorrect approach. It's more reasonable to decide what you want, and then look for the best price.

For low usage the best is 'Three' 3-2-1 pure payg without bundles: 3p/mint, 2p/sms, 1p/Mb.

this I agree with - how many minutes/texts/data will you use in a month?

Wot he said. Remember that Three 3-2-1 requires a 3G handset though.

£10 at Giffgaff (3g data) and Lyca. Both are O2.

The OP wanted PAYG.

but they also want a specific amount which you dont get on PAYG unless you get a GIFFGAFF goodiebag

Well, this "specific amount" theoretically can be used on any pure PAYG, e.g. on the same 3-2-1, but it will be more expensive than on PAYG with a bundle - that the OP perfectly understood.
I would understand if you offered a 1-month contract instead, but not a 12-months' one.

Why would you need 1GB on GiffGaff?! Their data speeds are pitiful.

Wouldn't surprise me if they still used dial up 56k modems for backhaul :rotfl:

Gifgaff, and I admit it can be slow on their network, I find them useful and speedy here.

Three is an obvious choice.
