Tariffs?
Was looking at the options, and the current PAYG "Addict" seems pretty rubbish at 26p/min, considerably worse than OLD PAYG (unless you are going cross network).
I guess, if keeping VM for other services, switching to Simply 8p is the best bet, don't care if it means a number change, as already picked up a few spampukes, and it's not a number that I'm attached to or known anywhere other than a couple of phone memories.
Otherwise, Unlock & Giffgaff or Vectone.
GiffGaff - 8p/min (same as VM Simply) texts 4p (cheaper than VM), web (when not free/bundled), 20p/20MB/day plus 20p per 1MB over (Bad, virginmedia, VERY BAD - now 50p/25Mb plus £2 per MB over!!)
Giffgaff is over O2.
Vectone - 5p/min landline, 10p/min mobile, 9p/text, web 10p/MB (unless the free 10MB per day gets extended again).
Vectone is on T-Mobile, leaving the issue of managing the EE switchover again.
Just spotted Vectone's £1 per month deal - 30 mins any network, 30 texts, 30MB (out of tarrif - 20p/min, 10p/text & £1per day for 500MB) - time for some complicated breakeven calculations, I could probably live with 30mins a month, since if If used them in the 21p/min frontload of VM PAYG original, I'd be topping up a helluva lot more than I have been, so on that, I could pay, barring extreme exeptions, £12 per year for my mobile, and while I top up less than a fiver a month, I'm sure I top up more than that a year.
