The government sells off its remaining share so they realise they won't have a job when they come back if they still do.

Get a free sim and try it. https://mobile.postoffice.co.uk/free-sim/

Its a payg service and its basic Payg rates are not that great 8p a minute for a call. 10p a text . 8p a min Voicemail.

Seems like it's only 3G data, and even that was difficult to find. Only reference to data speed was on the coverage chart. (Unless I've clearly missed it!)

It mentions in the Register Article link in the original post.

"The longer-term plans for Post Office mobile are to offer 4G – scheduled for September/October,."

Sorry, should have been clearer. I was referring to the post office website. I didn't read the register article. I assumed all relevant information would be on their own site!

I wasn't aware the Westminster Government is selling off the Post Office?! Maybe once they've sold off the Royal Mail...

The Access Charge is announced as 30p per minute from 1 July 2015.

The announcement also has the exact same typos in it as were in EE's original announcement a couple of months ago. To be clear, the Access Charge covers numbers starting 084, 087, 09 and 118 and not as listed in the announcement.

Oh dear, yet another provider who thinks the more data you need then the more minutes you need too (or vice versa).
