PAYG Tariffs?
 

Got two mobiles on VM Original PAYG.

Better than "Addict", except for other mobile networks.

Now with other VM services, it would appear that I could switch to Simply 8p

Much better for x-net rates, cheaper for landline unless using more than 25 minutes in a day (not very likely for me).

50 free VM to VM minutes per month (not bad).

Have I missed anything, is there some awful catch, other than needing to be a customer on other services - normally if you want a good deal as an exiting customer, you have to threaten to leave.

I guess if keeping the old number is not possible, it's no biggie, can never remember it without looking up "own number" or using phone memories anyway.

I got my daughter on the Virgin Media £10 (pay by direct debit) Virgin Media 10 200+3000 AA (200 minutes, 3000 texts, 3000 Virgin to Virgin minutes).

She's a teenager though... actually goes through those limits now ...

The new 8p tariff is to compete with ASDA mobile (who use the Vodafone network) and TESCO PAYG Lite (O2 network). Both these have a flat rate to all UK landlines/mobiles of 8p and all texts are 4p.

If it's to compete with those, then they need to rethink the "existing customer" link.

And I guess I'm probably right that it would be a new sim / new number - as I read it, I could just apply for a couple of free sims, and spend down the credit on the old ones - could go a few internet sessions, loading free apps from Playnow and tinkering with other stuff.

Sure that page used to have more on it, and said up to 4 sims (unless I saw that because I'd already logged in to check webmail).

Found the page I was looking for...

One of the bubbles says "up to 4 free sims, each with up to £30 airtime"
No mention of the airtime anywhere else, but presumably it's a topup bonus that expires.
