Free texts on Pay as you Go?

1) Are there any tariffs on pay as you go that offer free texts?

2) Which network provides £5 top-ups on pay as you go?

Thanks.

    O2 give free texts on Pay As You Go, but you do have to top up by at least £10 per month to get 300 free texts.

  • £5 Top Ups - Virgin and Vodafone defo do £5 top ups

    Out of interest does T-Mobiile also offer £5 top ups?

    Vodafone gives you 70 texts for £5 on PAYG - Virgin will give u 100 for £7.50

    NB if you are 16-24 u should check out Blyk - they'll give u 217 txts and 43 mins 'free' per month, u basically though are 'spammed' 5 or so adverts a day for the goodies - http://www.blyk.co.uk

    I'm on Blyk and it's really not that bad. Setting it up can be a nightmare but their CS is great. You get a few MMS messages a day but so far I've been getting 5 a week rather than a day. For me personally its a small price to 'pay' for 217 free texts and 43 anytime minutes.

    i'm on orange text top up, if you top up £10 a month you get 300 texts the month after, you can also top up £5 but with no texts,but the more you top up, the more texts you get
    wins so far:- absolutely nothing, not even an arguement:mad:

    Voda - send 2.50 of texts & it will give you unlimited free texts at weekends

    t-mob used to do text appeal where all texts were 3p -dunno if they still do

    5 quid buys 80 texts on 3 payg but think 10.00 minimum top up, mind you 5 quid buys you internet for the month & the 10 pound top up entitles you to 30 days free messages/calling on skype & free voicemail
    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 ;)
