Hi, my sister is getting a PAYG phone and wants in mainly for cheap calls and texts, web would be nice but not essential. Prefereably something on the o2 network (Tesco etc). What in you opinion is the best.

Another nod for Asda here - if the phone is on Vodafone it should work with a asda sim - otherwise unlock it.

Asda is only 20p Mb for data so great for a light user

compare other tarrifs here

http://giffgaff.com are worth a look too.
They are owned by O2 and use the O2 network.

As always when people ask this, Asda etc. are only cheap if you make a very small number of calls/texts. Otherwise its much cheaper to buy a bundle/bolt-on with one of the other networks.

I would also look at O2 simplicity, it's pay monthly but no contract so you can cancel when you like.

It starts at 150 min, 300 texts for a tenner a month.

I'm with the 20 quid simplicity and I get 600 mins, 1200 texts and unlimited data.
