Pay As You Go

Hi all,

Am looking for some kind of way to help my parents reduce their phone bill when ringing mobile numbers.

I know there are many many ways to do this, but trying to get them to dial the prefix before the numbers is proving to be a nightmare, plus they are stubborn in the way of wanting to have visibility of all their bills (No acess to the web)..

Initially I ordered them an easymobile sim-card on the special deal, but this turned into a nightmare for topping up, then the prices lurched up.

Does anyone know a good payGo tarrif for calling cross network numbers, three's looks attractive but 500 minutes is too much (even at a good price of 25 quid), and 100 minutes is too low. They'd be looking for between 200 and 300 minutes, and the availability to top-up in a shop for example.

Any help apprecaited,

Thanks all

    Depends on how many numbers they ring Tesco Mobile (easy to top up). Offers cross network calls to three mobile no,s of your choice at 10p a min,and the rest at 20p.That might suit your parents requirements.

    Or they could get an o2 online contract sim which only ties you up for a min term of 30 days,so its easy to get out of.At the moment you can get double minutes with this so 400 cross network min,s would cost £30 a month,which brings the cost of the calls down to 7.5p each.
    PF.
  • o2 offer half price calls to three nominated numbers of your choice with the fav number bolt on pay and go! ;)
