I'm really impressed with the Virgin offer - very cheap texts. It's a shame that they've taken so long to arrive as I've already signed up to a contract with 3 which I'm happy with. One of the Virgin numbers is brilliant though - very memorable.

With the help of the o2 threads I got 4 O2 sims this morning (thanks), I then saw the post about not having to top up to get free texts. I've just tried a new sim and it definitely works, just put the sim in and start texting.

Yeah you just put the sim in, you get a message telling you your balance is £0.00 then another message asking if you want to download the O2 settings (I didn't because I already had them). you can start texting straight away. I've given 2 away tonight thats 3 so far out of the 4 i got this morning getting the texts without topping up.

Looks like the o2 student site isnt there any more. (or any cheaper anyway) There used to be a manchester united one...
