i've been on 02 pay as you go since it started (b4 that it was one 2 one i think)

im hoping to get a new fone nxt week (nokia 5310)

i want to know what other pay as you go networks offer in web boltons (how much it costs per month and if MB capped how much)
how many free txts per ££ per month and any other rewards they may offer

anyone?

Hey there.

Before o2 it was BT Cellnet, One2one was T-Mobile. Anywho.

As far as I am aware most networks charge around £7.50 (monthly one) for data boltons, or £1/£1.50 a day. However not sure on the data allowences, I think it's around 500Mb a month.

I only know about Oranges free text scheme, £10 = 300 texts £20 = 600 texts £30 = Unlimited (FUP of 3000 texts).

You can also get 2for1 on Cinema tickets so you can take a freind. Also the text reports are great, it tells you when someone ACTUALLY received the text.

Sorry I couldn't be help on other networks, all I know that 3UK has a cheaper data allowence a month, but afaik they don't do text/minutes allowences unless you pay for a stretch.

am i right in thinkin that t-mobile data plan is £5 per month with a cap of 1GB?

T-Mobile pay and go is £1 a day with 40MB or £2.50 for 5 days with 40 MB a day.

I very recently moved to orange from o2. and I also been with o2 since around 1999 .

Orange data cost
normal data cost= £4 per MB

1 Day Bundle= £1

1 week bundle= £5

whats the MB cap?

Vodafone Simply is a Pay as you talk price plan with no fuss - and a choice of great extras.

Text Unlimited makes a £5 TopUp go much further - we'll reward you with unlimited weekday evening texts. And if you top up over £10, you'll get free texts at the weekend as well.

Like to chat at weekends? Spend £5 of your TopUp during the week and you can get free calls and texts to any UK network, all weekend long.

Don't need Text Unlimited or Free Weekends? You still get a great deal. Call any UK mobile or standard landline for just 20p a minute - any time. Texts are just 10p each.

You can even make international calls from 5p a minute - with a minimum call charge of just 20p. Call landlines in China, Nigeria, Poland, Pakistan, Lithuania, India - and lots of other places.

I'm with 3, and for a £5 per month add-on, I get 1gB.

'add on' can i use £5 out of say my £10 a month top up?

at the moment im not seein any reason to leave 02

You say you spend £10/month on phone?

If you were a Virgin cable customer then on Virgin Mobile you could get 300 mins/300 texts for £10/mo.

They also have "pay as you go" mobile broadband (for your phone) at 30p per day, the limit being 25MB I think.

For customers they also do mobile broadband dongles (for laptops) which give 1GB traffic for £5/month.

25mb a day isnt enough 4 me tho, i need 1gig or unlimeted with no caps!

How on earth could you use 1GB a day on your mobile? I don't use that on my home computer! My mobile data usage is about 20-30MB a month, and I have it set to push my email to me once every couple of hours.

i never stated i would use 1GB a day... i was meaning i want atleast 1GB a month.

i'm already 1 week into my monthly web bolt on with 02 and im over 340MB.

THREE 1GB for £5 a month. is there internet coverage/speed any good? do they ave any decent fones?

The 3G is quite good on 3 these days depends on the area though. Have a look at www.three.co.uk

my girlfriend got the skypephone s2 which is a very decent fone £56 from woolies with 20% off. im after the INQ1 which is £79.99 from the 3 store. looks like a very good fone. i'd say the internet is the same as 02

Everyone's come out with some really good suggestions. But I would recommend checking out the network coverage in the postcode area's your most likely to use the phone in before spending any money. You can do this by visiting the Service Provider's website's & selecting the UK coverage maps.

im gettin the skypephone s2. 3 looks like a good network for internet 1GB for £5 is what i need. plus u get the free skype calls and txts. port your number over and get free £10 credit
