tbh i think that the absurdity would occur if someone needs to send more than 100 texts every day of their life.

Who would take advantage of a unlimited text deal of over 3000 texts? The genuine customer? Doubtful due to the high number. A text spammer who has just bought a list with 2 million mobile numbers on it & the software to mass send sms? Yes highly likely. Result of this would be fine for network provider for creating a package which allows this sort of mass spam at no real cost. Other result lots of really annoyed people who keep getting spam texts

2. Virgin=20p flat rate
o2=25p
orange=20p
vodafone=20p
t-mobile=20p

3. o2 simplicity is a sim only pay by dd (need to pass credot score, set up a credit limit) deal - not PAYG
for your £20 you in effect get 100 mins & 3000 texts
sorry no if they put unlimited in that's what it should be i see no problem with the prices as long as they call them what they are limited with set amounts
