Any suggestions for an alternative cash PAYG provider?  Looks like Tesco mobile who I am currently with are changing their PAYG package to monthly chargable contract.

    How much data, how many calls/texts would you typically use in a month?

    Might make a difference to the choices out there.

    Look at Giffgaff if you want to use O2's coverage, but compare the standard call and data rates compared with Tesco's.

    That Sky deal is a good one, only 1GB/mth data tho' and it's a PAYM contract, not PAYG.

    No Data, just a few calls and texts £10 usually lasts for a couple of months at least.
