    Have you checked how much you will be paying per minute for calls to landline and mobile numbers?

    It's a long away above the 3p, 5p, 7p, 8p or 10p per minute charged by various other mobile providers.
  • A simple alternative to EE is Asda Mobile - check out their website - the calls are 8p, texts 4p and they use EE's network.
    They have now got their act together after leaving Vodafone and will supply you with a free sim card and top up card in their welcome pack ordered on their website.
    The sim comes registered on their basic PAYG non expiring tariff - just send a text or make a call every few months to keep it alive.
    They are not the cheapest but you can top up using £5 cash wherever you see the green top up sign in shops.
    I got one back in September, put £5 in and still have a credit of £2 left.

    Diamonds - I'm guessing that you were a customer who suffered during Asda's switch from Vodafone to EE - not a happy time for many. However I applied for a free sim card last September to test them out again following their troubles.
    The card arrived promptly and came with a top up card too and so far my experience with them has been good. I have had no need to contact customer services so can't comment on that, but with PAYG there is seldom any need to contact them anyway.

    No, I use EE via other resellers, Asda mobile has always had poor priceplans ;)
