    Well, if you can make the freebies work for you, it might be O2...

    They charge 8p per minute for calling anything apart from other coop mobiles! Three seem pretty much unbeatable at 3p/min for all calls apart from overseas and premium rate

    Some will pay more to ethical organisations, 3 deserves 3p, customer services on Voda level if its not simple and scripted.
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    Delight beats them, free to other Delight mobiles and 3p/min to others.

    Also Three sims don't work in my 2g phone!

    My wife is on Coop so it only costs me 4p/ min, and as I don't spend much more than £20 per year on my mobile calls, yes I do mean £20 per year. Also I only top up when I get a discount code, usually 10%, so for me it's even cheaper than 4p/min. So for now I'm sticking with the Coop

  • I'm a little disappointed in delight.

    I moved my number to them, and when I topped up they gave me £10 of "free" credit which expires in 30days, so I bought a £10 bundle with it (or I thought so).

    Then I find from their webpage that they used my long-term credit to part pay for bundle, rather than using the "free" short-term credit first. Feels a rather shabby way to operate.

    I decided I didn't want the bundle to auto-renew, however I find the ussd code to cancel the bundle auto-renew doesn't work.

    Bonus credit with most providers is short term and you cant buy bundles with it.

    Looks like delight are trying to emulate three's "3-2-1" pricing structure which is nice to see, however it looks like some of their roaming data costs are higher than three. I like three's "feel at home" option where you can buy a data bundle and then use that data in many other countries at no further cost.

    Must admit I have never heard of delight till today!

    The free Delight-Delight calls and texts with no top is great to see on a provider!

    I got my Delight sims today. I love the free Delight to Delight calls, so I may be switching over to them from Coop which I only just started ����.

    So I think I will stay with Coop till my credit runs down and decide then.

    But as I only get through £20 a year, it may take a while!��

    I only call my wife who is also on Coop!

    I moved to Coop because Sainsbury ceases their service on the 15th, they charged 8p per min, so I've halved my costs.

    On the other hand my last top up with Sainsbury was with a double up voucher so I was in fact only paying 4p per min for all calls! So I have lost out a bit. Probably will move to Delight eventually

    Remember to register your Sainsburys number with your Nectar card, so they credit you with points equivalent to the outstanding balance. (There are a couple of other options to get your credit reimbursed too.)
