Hi all,

Seem in the latest free sim offer you can get up to 500 free texts, is this the new allowance and will existing customers with the genie sims get this or will it be for these sim cards only?

Thanks

They've changed the tariffs for PAYG customers. Basically new customers only have the choice of one tariff - PAYG talkalot (25p per min for first 3 mins then 5p min after that). The allowances are now either text OR offpeak calls OR anytime calls - no more mixtures. The more you topup the more you get free e.g. if you choose the text allowance and topup £10 you get 300 free msgs, topup £15 and get 500 free texts, or topup £30 and get 1000 free texts a month.

Original customers can get the new allowances but they have to take the PAYG talkalot tariff and then can't switch back to the PAYG original or PAYG talkalot more tariffs ever again.

So if anyone is on PAYG talkalot more it's probably not a good option to switch because you'll lose either your texts or offpeak mins e.g. under the new allowances you'd only get either 150 offpeak mins OR 500 texts not a mixture of both texts and mins.
