Grandad PAYG Mobile Deal

MylesBetter

Martin on his C5 TV show spoke about very low mobile users as Grandad users.

Although not a Grandad I am a very low user and currently on a contract paying about £16pr Mth.

I only make (tops) 3 calls per month and maybe 3 texts.

What is the best PAYG deal outthere for very low users like me who does not want to be stuck with having to top up to a certain amount every month whether I need to or not.

Hopefully Martin will remember us and inform on the best deal for extremely low users like myself on a regular basis.

If your usage is that low you probably shouldn't be on a monthly contract at all as you are paying for much more than you are using. You need a basic payg deal where you just top up when you need to. Allowing a standard cross-network call rate of 25-35 per minute and a standard x-network text rate of 10-15p per text a £10 top up would probably last you at least six months (depending how long your calls are)! I used to do virgin payg and found I was topping up less than £10 per month so it didn't make sense to get a contract. When my usage increased I went to O2 with 200 mins 200 texts for £15 (sim only no phone). I think you need to migrate the other way!
I found virgin very helpful, competitive and easy to use and could recommend them, though other MSEr's might have specific better offers for you from other providers.

T-mobile PAYG 'everyone' rate is 15p per minute cross network and they have free sims available at the moment. Tesco also have some good deals where you can nominate 3 numbers and it will be 10p per minute and the other calls are 20p. (Check if this is still current)
