Best network for my PAYG needs?

Hi,

I currently have a PAYG Talkalotmore 'deal' with O2 which allows me to pay £15 per month and get 300 texts and 150 mins. When the free texts run out i pay 10p per text.

I am looking for something similar for my second phone, but Talkalotmore on the O2 site doesnt seem to mention texts.

Does anybody know if my original deal still exists on O2, or whether i can get something similar (better?) from another network?

Thanks

    Hiya,

    It's still available, Just as an online tariff only..
    http://www.o2.co.uk/mobilestariffs/tariffs/paygo/o2onlinepaygotariffs

    The 02 site normally charges you a tenner for one of these sim cards, But you can get one for free at the moment at http://shop.o2.co.uk/tariffs/Pay_and_Go

    O2 Simplicity gives you 200 mins and 400 texts and unlimited (pretty much) included ('free') O2 to O2 calls for £15pm.

    No contract with simplicity just 30 days notice needed.
    But
    No handset included purely sim only.

    Simplicity SIM Only tariffs are subject to status, credit-check, and payment by direct debit. You must give written notice that you wish to end your contract or change tariff at any time, and this will be effective 30 days after they receive your notice.You will be required to pay the applicable monthly charge for your SIM Only tariff until the end of the 30 day notice period.
  • Thanks James & JHP

    Hiya Jim,

    Yeah sorry I didn't read your original question properly. It is indeed calls OR texts now. :(
