Best PAYG for texts

Miser_maz

Looking for a new payg sim for mainly texting but also talking. Who offers the best rates? I'm considering Tesco Value Sim at 5p text. Any advice appriciated.
PS Not interested in the software based services.

You could try O2.

I have a package that's £15.00 p/m top-up and I get 500 free texts a month and you still have the £15 for voice calls

T mobile text appeal. 3p/text any network.
Free texts all w/end if you top up £10 on a Friday

How much are you likely to top up per month?
O2: Top up £10/month and get 300 free texts and use the £10 credit for calls etc

Hi the Tmobile offer sounds good. Do you have to top up every month?
What if I top up less than £10 per month? Or not every month?

there is no minimum monthly top-up for t-mobile text appeal.
However, the calls are a bit more expensive than usual: 20p t-mobile/landlines and 40p to other networks

No you can just top up £10 and select the tarrif that gives you the 3p texts, no other top up needed after a month.

The phone may need to be unlocked first, it depends on the model you are looking at, most Nokia phones can be unlocked by free code on this forum, apart from some of the newer bB5 models, If you have a phone in mind then post the model and we will tell you if its easily unlocked or not.

O2 is good if you text a lot. With your remaining £10 you could send 100 texts so with the 300 free ones, so it works out to 2.5p a text. But remember the 300 texts are only valid for one month. You don't have to top up each month, but ovbviously you only get the free texts if you do top up by a minimum of £10. You also get 1MB of GPRS mobile internet free.

I would recommend Orange over o2. Crossnetwork minutes only 15p compared to o2's 35p a minute.

Also 300 free texts witha £10 top up, speak easy free text trigger tariff, details on the orange website.
