Am I getting value for money?

I'm presently on Vodafone pay as you talk, and I'm going through £15 a week on texts. Luckily there is free weekends and texts, but I'm under the impression they're being cut back soon. The top-ups are coming from my bank account.

Now am I getting value for money? Is there better bargains to be had with say orange pay monthly (I'm certainly interested in switching to orange).

It would depend on your usuage. Are you more a texter/caller or both?
I text more than calling and i now use T Mobile and the cost is only 3p per text.

Orange have a decent text price plan, something like £25 per month for about 3000 texts. Not sure of the calling plans though!

I barely use calls. Only in emergencies for example.

T-mobile were doing on online Pay As You Go sim where if you spent £10 a month on top up you were getting free evening and weekend texts upto 3000 a month. SO you would use you £10 for daytime texts if you didn't call!!

sounds like the orange free text top up plan would be ideal for you. £10 top up gives you 300 free texts the next month, £20 gives you 600 texts and £30 gives you 1000 texts. See the orange website for more details.

How many texts do you use a month?

How many of those monthly texts are sent at weekends?

I like my O2 one. 10 pounds gets you 300 messages and use the tenner for what you want after that....more texts/calls/whatever. Also 10% of your top ups back every 3 months and a free treat every month. I take 15 mins talk time as my treat to residential or O2 phones.
