I use my Nokia mobile for calls and texts only. Which basic PAYG would you recommend?

Virgin ended payg so I decided on Vodafone, but their PAYG1 can cost £1 per day or their bundle is £10 per month, much more than I was paying.

Thanks

GranWy have you thought of a monthly sim only contract that can be cancelled at any time? There are some available for £4-5 with unlimited UK calls and texts. If you Google Smarty or Lebara you will find good deals.

Just had a quick look. Lebara use the Vodafone network and they have a £3.95 deal for 200 mins and unlimited texts per month. No contract and can be cancelled at any time. £5 would get you unlimited mins and texts with them if you like to chat.

I have that kind of phone too, and use Vodafone PAYG. They do a £5 per month bundle which gives me all the calls and texts I need. They were still doing it the last time I renewed a couple of weeks ago, so I hope you can find it, if it would suit you.

I use Lebara. For under £5 I get unlimited U.K. calls to landlines and mobiles, 100 mins of International calls and 3 GB of data. I realise you don’t need that but some other grans might be interested. Do Google Lebara and see what deals they have that would suit you. Every month they notify you they will renew for the next month if you don’t cancel so you are not tied in long term.

Lebara looks interesting, I think I will try it.
