    Click on either of the links provided by OP and then read down the 'recommended deals' - each clearly sets out how long the top up lasts for.
    On Android, the mobile site doesn't give these, nor is there a link to the desktop site.
  • To let everyone know I got a free Alcatel Smartphone a few months ago through Tesco with ASDA PAYG, which never expires. Been with ASDA for a few years.

    Smartphone is ok but suffices for me as I use my phone for texting and phone calls only.
  • Yes, I couldn't see the information either, which, in combination with not being very familiar with mobile tariffs/deals, is why I thought it was worth asking. I am at home now, and can check for you and let you know if you are still on mobile and would like me to? I will check back later in case. The O2 bundle isn't suitable for me, as it only lasts 30 days.
  • I did this last week on a more expensive phone £24 one, got free next day delivery with DPD (despite it saying orders under £50 would be sent via Royal Mail) and TCB tracked straight away!

    Carphone Warehouse sends all phones with next day delivery - their delivery info is just poorly/ambiguously worded:

    'Available on all phones, Pay monthly SIM cards, free gifts and everything else over £50. Delivery is made by DPD.'

    Sorry - trying to be helpful, not the opposite! One or two of the deals are for 7 days only (which is why I pointed you back to the site), the rest are all 30 days or a month.
  • Thank you. Not at all. I just wanted to let the person posting know I had experienced the same and that I could look it up for him now, if he was still out and about. I find this mobile phone stuff a bit confusing generally, probably because I am not very familiar with bundles etc, but now I know they aren't suitable for me as they are short-term only. Thanks.
  • Still available this morning - just bought one.

    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Thanks for the Update.

    The Sale was supposed to be ending?

    I'll change my Original Post :)
