Asda Mobile

deanos

We curently have 2 phones with Virgin Mobile PAYG, but have just stumbled across Asda mobile which seems alot cheaper, i understand its on the Voda network, has anybody had any experience with Asda Mobile ? , i presume the sim will work on and Voda handset ?

Me and the wife are very low users and our monthly bill with Virgin comes in around £12 for both phones and we pay monthly on direct debit.

Seems cheaper for certain things and not for others.
Virgin has free voice retrieval. If you phone landline or virgin it is cheaper. The only calls that seem cheaper are if you are phoning different network mobiles.
Calculators out to see how much each service would be.

Yeah there is a huge difference between mobile calls, Virgin charge 35p and Asda 8p

The phones may need to be unlocked before you can use the asda sim, what phone models are they ?

Our phones are already unlocked by myself so not an issue

Was considering gettig a K800i and the Voda network one is the cheapest at the moment so the Asda sim should work ? , Anybody know.

handsets seem expensive for what they are- and still selling the nokia 6111 :eek: which time machine did they use to get those????

the bottom of the rage nokias for 19.99 look ok for very low end users

Anybody know if the Asda sim will work on a Vodaphone k800i ?

I rang Asda mobile and they didnt know.

@Deanos

it should do if the k800i is unlocked. Else, you'll need to get it unlocked. Even though Asda Mobile uses Vodafone, it still won't work.

Same reason why Virgin sims dont work in locked TMobile phones.
