Thread: Best Value for Money Pay & Go options - Paste your findings here

Hello All,

I am wondering if anyone what the best pay as you go tarrifs are out there. I am currently with orange and pay £10 a month on the phone to benifit from their magic numbers scheme.

Basically what magic numbers allows you to do is speak to someone for upto 1 hour but no more than 3 hours a day for 20 pence. But to get it you need to top up at least £10 a month to keep them active

I was wondering if there was anything that was maybe better value than that or where you can chat at a discount for the life of your balance.

Anyone with any ideas please let me know.

Cheers.

cheers for that andie 303

I have also had a quick look around and it would seem that you have to top up at least monthly to get any kind of perk.

I guess thats just the way it is.

These perks are actually lock-ins to ensure the customer keeps their call revenues up with a discounted 'carrot'. By ignoring them and only paying for what you actually use - you don;y run the risk of not getting the full value.

Currently, Asda Mobile (using vodafone) has a flat rate of 4p texts and 8p to UK mobiles and geographic landlines, which I find most equitable. Their calls centre is also in the west of Scotland!
