Right ive been on a contract for 18months and was thinking about going back to payg BUT, im just wondering how much it costs these days.

Can someone give me an example of how many mins/text you use each month and how much it costs?

Cheers

 

Id never go back to pay and go now mate after being on contract for nearly 5 years. used to spend well over Ł100 per month and pay and go and still get nowhere near what i get now on contract for Ł35 a month, Be prepared for getting your pants pulled down and greased up ready to take it... lol

 

yeah but im not a huge phone user, i might send maybe 15-20 texts per day, maybe a few phone calls in a week.

Obviously the more you use the phone the more use a contract becomes

 

thats fair enouugh then, what about some if the sim onlydeals that you can get on a month by month contract, some are like Ł15 a month and you get unlimited texts and 600 mins calls ect etc

 

02 only seems to do new customers a good deal m8 try them.

 

o2 for me, for Ł15 you can get a good deal like free phone calls and texts to other o2 users. then with the Ł15 credit you can buy a Bolt-on for any network minutes and texts. You also get an award for how much you put on ie Ł15 one you get 3 chances to get a prize, best i have had is 2 free tickets to the cinema and Ł10 free at blockbuster.

 

orange you get free texts depending on how much you put on the last montth, Ł10 is 300 Ł15 is 600 and Ł 30 is unilimited, and them texts are to any network
i was on o2 and was spending loads cause not all my mates were on 02 now on orange im usin maybe Ł10 month

and with orange you get the free wednesday 2 4 1 at cinema and things

 

i'm on o2 i get 300 free texts and an extra 10% added. All you need to do is bang a tenner on a month.thats all i use, My contract was +100 a month

 

o2 are the best network for pay as u go,for Ł15 a month i get unlimited txt to any network and unlimited internet,handy for coming on here at work...lol..
plus you've still your Ł15 to use on calls...its perfect if you dont hav your phone welded to your ear all day....

 

Fantastic, always better to get the info from actual people, rather than looking on a website! cheers people

 

Ł15 a month and unlimited texts? so as you say thats just like your having Ł15 just for calls, sounds good that one.

Cant wait to get off this shitty contract from 3

 

Ł10 a month I spend on Vodafone

 

The new t-mobile sims do unlimited txt's for Ł10 a month

Edited to add its unlimited internet and txt's

 

Bloody hell 3 are raping me good and proper, and they cant even speak english

 

im on asda mobile,put on a tenna a month, 4p a text and 8p a min calls,cant fault it tbh

 

What phone have you got?

 

 

 

As others have said, O2 simplicity is bang on! The good thing with them is they use your allowance if ya send MMS messages, whereas the likes of Vodafone won't do that, and charge you seperately.

 

I have an old 02 geenie sim which gives you free texts for a month if you top up Ł10, onece the month is up i use the remaining credit up which can sometimes last another month. So Ł10 lasts me between 6-8 weeks, much better than when i was on contrace for Ł30 a month.

 

I am on a tesco value sim, exactly the same deal

puddy

 

lol at tesco value sim, is the sim card white with blue stripes aswell?

 

Forget pay an go.. i'm on this 30 day rolling sim, ya only get the sim card but through 02 i get 600 anytime any network mins, plus 1200 texts and unlimited internet as a free bolt on every month, and it costs about 20 quid a month.. miles better than pay an go and because its a rolling contract you can end it at anytime.. all networks are doing this now..
To get the same on a normal contract would cost 35 quid a month, but its only 20 cus ya not paying for the phone handset that all networks say is free..

 

Thats good aswell.

I can definatly see that id be alot better off telling 3 where to stick their contract when it ends

Thanks everyone

 

oh f*ck i didnt know you was on 3.. i had a right load of grief with them and told them the same as you want too.. like i said though all networks do it now. i chose 02 cus not many networks have decent service were i live.. and i found 02 to be the cheapest on this rolling sim contract.. once you have been on it for a while they will offer you a contract though.. but i'd sooner go on fleebay an buy the phone i want second hand. there not free on contract. they just make it sound that way.. good luck anyway with it

 

I've got an Orange PAYG sim in the cupboard with a bolt on called Out Here that orange sold for Ł15 for a very limited time, basically it gives you 5 free texts a day so long as you have credit registered on the phone. So if you don't call anyone, don't send more than 5 txts a day then it will never cost you a penny.

Very occasionally these sims pop up on ebay, and they sell for up to Ł100 sometimes!

 

You can still get these simcards, the terms and price have slightly changed though.

It now costs you Ł19.99 per 12 months to use the Out here service

Big-Dan.

 

Blimey thats changed a bit then, I still use mine every now and again, not had to put a penny on it in the last 10 years!

 

t-mobile

10 pound phone from asda

mates rates -texts are 3pence each

phone calls (dont bother with them)

 

i have couple of orange 30 day sims for the kids they get 200 mins and unlimited txts for 15 quid
saves me a fortune as my daughter sent 2850 txts last month

 

i put a tenner ever 2-3 mnths on my tesco mobile
i dont want to speak to anybody

 

i bang 30 a month on orange,get unlimited txts and internet at night,theres diffrent packages though,monkey,dolphin, and a couple of others where there is diffrent variations like,and you get a prize draw thing when you top up,ive won loads of extra txts and calls and even a usb dongle thing.
