Finding the beat SIM, provider, for a PAYG mobile phone

We have a landlines with BT so DH and I both have £5 per month SIMs
We never go over the allowances of 200 mins talk time, unlimited texts 500mb of data. Switch the mobile data only when necessary as we have WiFi at home and lots of places like costs witherspoon it's free.

8p a minute seems a lot to me, but then I'm not savvy either. I have a contract with data I never use, so I will ditch it when I can and get Giffgaff.

I would just like to thank all who kindly responded to my question. I am with Tesco, and had lost all my credit, twice. Some of you will know that I am not at all tech savvy, so when it happened once, I thought I had left my phone on, and it just 'dribbled' away! After the second top up, and I know it wasn't a lot, £10.00, disappeared as well, I got cross and thought I would change provider. Paid a visit to Carphone Warehouse, where Tracy said that something called Roaming was switched on. What is that? Anyway she swithched me off. Also I didn't know about unlocking, I do now, although, I still haven't managed to do it. Several on line chats with far away folk, then I paid a visit to the mobile phone shop in a big Tesco store. Ayrton was extremely helpful, and tried to do the unlocking for me. The code provided wasn't doing it's stuff. I was left with the message that the ethereal someone, would get back to me after checking with Nokia. Did he? did he heck. So this morning I had another on line chat. I have discovered that my calls are charged at 8p per minute??? That doesn't seem too bad, so I am still with Tesco network, at the moment. If I have any more problems, you may hear about them.?

three mobile have a payg tariff which is 3p per minute calls, 2p per text and 1p for 1mb of data.

Payg iphone!! Oops.

I have a payg ipad, am soth o2 and pay 5 p a minute for calls and the same for texts. Only use for emergencies but learning to use it for messages etc.

H is total technophobe he dosen't even know how to text. He has Vodaphone PAYG he puts £20 on every three months or so.
I have EE contract and when we are away in UK he can often get reception when I can't.

DS swears by GiffGaff.

Mine's Virgin mobile - don't use the phone for calls much but use Whats App and texts as well as the net. It started off at £5 a month but I increased it to £10 for the data aspect.

BT have some good affordable deals. Sim only too.

Carphone Warehouse sorted me , if you have free calls and so many texts you don't need to use them , but a text , even to yourself keeps your phone alive

I use Vodafone.

I use Phone Co-op
