Why on earth don't you recommend 1pmobile, there is no one cheaper. I have been with them for over a year and it costs me less than £10 for 4 months use, you buy your pay as you go phone for anything from £10 upwards so your average expense is about £150 a year. That is a no brainer, why are some idiots paying £300+ for a phone + rent + calls probably £700+ a year.

    Why on earth don't you recommend 1pmobile....
    Who exactly?

    1p mobile is in the first top lines - best for "Occasional/backup use"

    Well I've had a £30 smart phone and it was next to useless  - even for calls & texts. 

    I use my mobile for everything - would cost more using top ups than a cheap monthly sim only 

    Welcome to the forum btw - is that how you spell your real name....  :)

    Aside from the fact that they are recommended (see earlier post) the cost of data at 1p per MB limits you to around 250 MB per month before you exceed your £10 for 4 months use. 

    Exceed that and it could be quite an expensive option. 
  • I use 1p Mobile as second sim in my backup phone that lives in the car. Forgot to switch back to my sensible sim before engaging TomTom for a 2 day roadtrip. Cost me the thick end of £15 before I noticed...
