easymobile not worth it for me.

I came across the easymobile website today, at first I thought it was quite reasonable.

all texts 5p
all calls to uk landline or mobiles 15p /min
free 5pounds credit
payg - no monthly charge

I'm currently with Orange not spending hardly anything on calls, I just have to use it once every 6 months. no line rental, but texts are expensive @ 12p each and calls are expensive too but I don't call anyone, I don't even know what the tariff is.

Then I read in the small print on easymobile, if you don't spend 5 pounds a quarter, they charge you 75p. Well that condition means it's cheaper for me to stay with Orange, and I get to go and see crappy hollywood crapbuster films on Wednesdays. I'm staying orange with Orange.

Although, I just thought, the free 5 pounds credit would pay for 6 quarterly 75p charges. I still think I'll stay put.

    I am too giving up on EasyMobile. TMobile (they share) reception is a joke and the new prices are FAR too expensive.

    Fresh (carphone w.h.) is now a better bet on the t-mobile network. they are currently doing a 'half price deal' till further notice ie 7.5p calls 2.5p texts... or migrate to tesco mobile,piggy backed on to o2, almost guarenteed signal,not quite as cheap though
    never put off buying a bargain today,it may be gone tomorrow
