Cheapest PAYG for texts

Options
My son is on t-mobile text appeal, spending about £20 ish a month (so sending in the region of 700 texts). Is there a cheaper option, he can't get a contract being only 17 , i already have 1 and can't afford to have another 1 coming out, so any ideas on who is the cheapest would be much appreciated.

    he is on the best deal but £30 top up gets you free unlimited texts on orange payg with the £30 to spend on whatever x net mins are 15ppm

    o2 text anytime is same but they have more options as bolt ons
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)
  • That is a pretty good deal you could consider Vodafone free weekend texts and calls allowing all texts and calls (to mobiles and uk landlines) to be free after spending £5 during the week (Monday - Friday). That would be for free calls and texts the free texts on their own kick in at £2.50 spent (Monday - Friday).

    675 texts on Voda £20, then you get free weekends.......

    personally id do o2 as £30 with thier bolt-ons and unlimited texts represents the best value

  • I would go with Orange "Free Text Top Up", you get 300 free texts for each £10 spent in a month.

    If you topped up by £20 you would get 600 texts.

    If you topped up by £30 you would get unlimited texts.

    (plus the cash you topped up by, calls at 15p a minute &texts 10p each).
