    Lebara are a mobile phone provider. They offer cheap "pay monthly every month but there is no contract" sims.

    I checked them when I was looking for a true PAYG SIM for my backup phone. The only one I could find was RWG mobile.

    Most providers no longer offer true PAYG to new customers, only "pay monthly every month but there is no contract".

    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

     Government warns new emergency alert system could be HACKED 

    Emergency phone alert debacle deepens as it emerges one in five users did not get warning (msn.com)

    To save you having to read all those adverts:-
    A Government spokesperson said: 'Our emergency alerts system is extremely secure, having been developed in conjunction with government cyber experts.

    No worries there then. :):):):)


    More usefully

    all alerts will be published on gov.uk at the same time they are broadcast.

    Network not phone provider (just in case anyone goes in search of a Lebara phone)

    Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid

    Most networks DO offer payg, but it is often hidden as they want to sell bundles. Anywhere that gives a price per minute or price per mb is payg and there are plenty.
