I looked at virgin but looking deeper its not as cheap as i thought it was. I AM currently with vodafone but im sure its more expensive than others.
sorry if this has been asked before
Thanks in advance”
Well, if you're not interested in packs, bolt-ons or - presumably - minimum topup offers, this post here

is great advice - especially if you call offpeak. If you call during the day though, IMO you won't go far wrong with
asda mobile for a couple of reasons;
1) £5 topups (plus 10% if you topup in an asda or by debit/credit card, regardless of topup amount),
2) call charges = 16p a minute for first 3 minutes each day, 8p a minute after that - that's to any network,
3) texts = 10p each for the first 3 each day, 5p each after that, and
4) asda mobile runs off vodafone for coverage purposes, so your current signal won't change.
