Giffgaff...

Monthly bundles from £6 with unlimited domestic calls and texts.

Better value (IMHO): £8 for a month with unlimited calls/texts and 3Gb of mobile data.

BTW: calls to USA 2p a minute (has to come out of PAYG-type top-up credit, though)

the stupid one walk along the street with a stupid smile on their face ...I just bump them out of the way

Oh, £2.50 minimum monthly spend :-( They keep that very well hidden.

Makes that pretty unattractive as a low user then.

So do I, but you only need to Rx, and not send, so I think that's fine. PN do support reception of short codes ?

BTW I confirmed a restaurant booking via SMS short code last week, and got clobbered for 13p. (I took it off the tip)

But that's no use to you if you hardly ever use your phone.

still talking about 1pmobile? Doesn't sound like their offerings ...

Nope, and never have.

KIYYFD

Yes they do, my bank used to require the occasional reply to short-codes, e.g. for suspected fraudulent transactions, but they no longer do.

I wondered the same, but couldn't see anything on the OFCOM site, other than them commenting on it

I managed to take a new contract (a one-day website special offer) for my mobile with the same supplier that saved me more than their annual increase ...

From their web site:

1p a minute, 1p a text, 1p a MB The UK's lowest PAYG per minute, per text & per MB rates

Using the Fastest UK Network with more 5G areas

European roaming included

Easy to keep your own number

No Contract

We have five great priced Boosts available

Unlimited calls and texts† £3

1GB† £3 4GB† £6 10GB* Includes unlimited calls and texts £10 50GB* Includes unlimited calls and texts £15

About our Boosts Our Boosts last for 30 days and can be purchased out of the credit you currently have on your phone. If you do not have enough credit on your phone to purchase a boost you will need to top-up your phone credit first.

For your convenience you can add a one off boost, or you can add a recurring boost. With a recurring boost we will add the selected boost to your phone every 30 days. If you have insufficient credit we will automatically top-up your phone from your stored payment details.

The Calls+Text Boost includes all calls to 01, 02, 03 & 07 UK numbers. If all the data in a data Boost is consumed, simply add another, or pay our standard rate of 1p a MB for any excess data you use.

That's *way* more than I spend on my mobile. I currently use idMobile PAYGO.

More fool you. I don't bother paying for a landline anymore.

I don't spend £5pm, I doubt I've ever hit that and certainly not £60/yr.

Dual sim phone: PAYG sims and probably 100mB/pm data usage

How much is it costing you for unlimited data with more than one person's access?

OK, that's new. Even though I pay for the SIM, it's in my brother's phone ...

Ay? What does idMobile have to do with a landline?

But it makes more sense to not have the landline anymore so you have to include the cost of that and a voip service if you have one.

Anyone with even half a clue has just the mobile anymore, no landline.
