payasyougo sim card

I know there are several of these on the market, but they all seem to want me to top up with a fixed amount monthly for free this or free that.

I am a very light user of the mobile - being reserved for emergencies only. All I want is simply to make calls once in a while and pay as I go. I want to top up when I need to, not monthly, and neither do I want their free texts or calls.

Does anyone know which mobile phone company provides this simple service?

Thank you.

Ok for calls, if its to any network your choices are

Orange- 15p per minute
T-mobile- 15p Per minute
Tesco Value- 15p Per Minute
Asda- 16 per minute for the first 3 minutes a day, then 8p a minute
O2 and Virgin- 35p per minute
Vodafone- 30p per minute daytime, 10p per minute after 7.30pm. If you opt into stop the clock, you can talk off peak for 60 minutes for 30p.

Thats a very basic summary for you.

With T-mobile (believe it's still the case) you only have to make one chargeable call every 6 months to not lose your balance.

I believe that is the same with all the other networks.

Have a look at the Tesco one I posted about earlier today.

Even if you can't use the discount code, £10 of airtime will cost you only £5 at the moment. The per minute rate is 20p, but you can nominate three numbers for half price calls - particularly handy for mobile-home and mobile-OH. This makes it only 10p per minute for these frequent calls.

Don't get the Tesco Value one though, the Standard one is better value!
