What is the best 02 tarriff?

Just got a pay as you go mobile with a 02 sim card. What is the best tarrif to put my daughter on. Have 3 kids so dont want to be forever topping up etc..too costly lol.

Was thinking of something along the lines of i top up so much per month and get free mins and texts within that. Im teaching her to blue tooth where possible but think she will be texting more than talking. Shes almost 10 bless her and want to put her on the best possible deal.

Hope someone can help:D

    You will want the O2 online text anytime tariff.
    You get 300 text for £10/month topup, 500 text a month for £15 topup or almost unlimited text for £30/month topup.

    Most likely, the £10 a month will be plenty but you get the credit as well as the text. Also if you dont want to top up every month, you will lose the free text until the next topup, but can still use any credit left on the phone for texts or calls.

    If your on a sim without the free text, ring customer service and say you want to be on the Online text anytime tariff and they should transfer you across to it.
  • After the first 30 days of at least £10 top up where you get 300 free texts you can change that to
    50 anytime network minutes
    or
    100 offpeak network minutes (after 7.30pm Mon-Fri and all day Sat/Sun
    or
    500 minutes to landlines and O2 mobiles from your nominated postcode.

    See O2 website for details.
  • hey :)
    02 have a tariff called "02 unlimited tariff" if you top up £10+ per month you get unlimited txt to other 02 phones, top up by £15+ per month you get unlimited txt and calls to other 02 phones:j...... all other networks have a flat 25p per minute and landlines are 5p per minute...... try and convert all her friends to 02 then she can talk/text all night long! ... they also have free sims available at the moment, more details below or go to the 02 website and search "02 unlimited"
