I think it depends on whether you text or talk. Vodafone have a good offer at the moment. Spend £2.50 monday to friday and get free texts all weekend, or spend £5.00 monday to friday get free calls and texts all weekend!! This coupled with stop the clock, pay for 3 minutes off peak and talk for up to 60, and the text pack offers I would say this is the best deal on the market at the moment.

o2 and orange both offer free texts with their online tarrifs, minimum monthly top up of £10 applies. T mobile have also launched some good value tariffs. Text appeal offers you 3p texts, 20ppm to landlines and other t mobiles, 40ppm to other networks, or they do a seperate tariff 12p calls to any network anytime, texts 10p.

You also have easymobile and fresh. 15p a minute any network, 5p texts

No one company has the best tariff; if they did everyone would be on it.

It depends on what you want, how much you are prepared to spend (e.g every month to get free bundles) and how you plan to use the phone.

Use of a price comparison site such as onecompare may help you decide what is best suited to your requirements.

I think the T-Mobile tariffs have got to be about the best about - if for no other reason than they are simple to understand.

The 3p text and 12p per minute calls might not be on the same tariff, but you can buy a 90 day tect bundle to lower the costs of them on the 12p per minute calls tariff

yeah i know or u can just keep swappping the tariff back and forth if you have time lol

I had one question though, I get free weekend texts if I bought a text bundle to use in the eeek would it stop the weekend texts once the bundle is gone?

It all depends on how you use your phone.

How many text messages do you send? How long do you spend chatting on it?

T-Mobile offer 3p texts at all times on their Text Appeal tariff on PAYT. I use that and I also get free weekend texts. Also I get 20% back on all my top ups a month so if I have spent £40 i get £8 free credit. (Not much I know but you can't moan about something trhats free.
