Unlimited minutes to the same number?

Options
Hi all,

My friend is wondering what would be the cheapest way to call someone who is on an Orange mobile number (that person does not use a landline)?

He wants unlimited minutes or something close, he is already using Orange magic number on PAYG but there is a 3 hours limit each day and sometimes he goes over that.

Any idea please?

Many thanks,
GP

    Get another payg sim nominate the same magic number,and swap sims when appropriate. Otherwise he is lumbered with the 15p a minute rate,after he exceeds the fair use number of minutes.

    Not sure if it is the cheapest but "my faves " from T-Mobile allows unlimites calls, SMS and MMS between 5 numbers, which gives a mobile phone. Starts off at 25.00 per month

    Orange offer unlimited calls to Orange mobiles on contract plans like Canary 35/40 on a 24/18 month contracts, also on Panther 40/45, the line rental is cheaper if you buy from their website.

    Getting another Orange PAYG sim is a good idea, use it for calls when your usage gets to three hours.

    my mate is actually on a t-mobile contract, but not on the "my faves" price plan, any idea if he change his price plan does it also mean he has to take a brand new contract please??

    also, is there any fair use policy like the orange magic number - 3 hours per day?

    thanks a lot
