Asda 4p per text any network

Its not that simple to compare , is it ?

02 £10 a month for 300 free text to any network or £15 for 500 free text a month if you join the text anytime tariff. Then its 10p if you use up your montly free text before the month. I top up £15 a month to get 500 free text. I dont use 500 text a month but did go over 300 text one time I was on the 300 free text so I do £15 a month for 500 free text just to be on the save side.

I'd say the Dolphin package on Orange. Very similar to the O2 text anytime (above) except if you are a facebook, bebo or myspace user and have a phone which can go on the mobile internet, they give you free access to all 3 with the free texts...

Another vote for Virgin from me, especially if you topup £20.

If you need minutes as well though, it may be better to use Vodafone and add a Freedom Pack; http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/pay-as-you-go/freedom-packs/

Seems a good deal Vodafone is doing shame other networks dont do something the same. I somes phone an 05601 BT broadband talk number from my mobile and I can be on phone anything up to a few mins phoning that number.

yea its goof for texts and talkers but net is very expensive on vodafone pay as you go if they did a monthly bundle or part of the £20 one they could really do well.

It all hinges on how many texts you send in an average month. If it's 1000 you'd be better off with a bundle. If it's 10 you'd be best on T-Mobile's text appeal.

I'm on dolphin £20 month sim only (as i have a phone) 600 minutes and unlimited text.

Its like pay as you go, only you pay your bill monthly, no contract and can cancel anytime with 30 days notice.

Only thing is you get charged if you have text delivery on ...ie you are charged for network to tell you your text has been read. (not charged for text recieved message.) So i have mine off.

Goto Orange site have a look for SIM ONLY if you have an unlocked phone.
