easyMobile Launches

That's a really good offer, 6p to any network but did I read correctly that this is only until the end of June? If so what does it go up to from then?

it's pay as you go, there is no contract

5p for texts and 15p for calls (to all networks, which is still cheaper than I'm on with Orange)

We're giving it serious consideration, to get texts at 5p with Orange you need to buy hundreds at a time and they only last for a month!

Yes I'd noticed that I'm in daft mode..... have been for a couple of weeks now..... my hazy confusion comes from that and the having to register with them and the facility that is available for being 'overdrawn' with credit...... blah blah blah......

but thanks for your patience and not using the or emoticon

Old Stelios.. gotta love him. So many (orange coloured) fingers in so many pies.

I am wondering if he is going to set up an escort agency: easyGirls?

Might get done under the trades descriptions act though

I cant believe Orange took him to court over using the colour Orange!!

There an EasyCruise too hehe...

[Shaun]

I know, works out to £25 per night per person if there's two of you sharing a cabin!!!!!!! That's cheaper than the Travellodge/Ibis.

Why would I want a network phone?I hardly use my mobile except to check up on family.Most of the time it is switched off so it's pointless using anything but PAYG.

Thinking about it, could be good for the nest forum meet!

Moving on topic for a sec, I've signed up and taken my number to them from orange. Well I say taken, it's due to go over tomorrow, hopefully there shouldn't be any problems. So far they've been extremely efficient, the Sim arrived in the post the next day (and I signed up after 4pm). The only problem I'm having at the moment is I can't log into their site, perhaps they're doing maintenance.

Another nice touch is a list of staff names and job titles on their site, no more being lied to by staff at orange about what their job is (manager my ars e!!!)

Lets hope when I try tomorrow its all working again!

Why not he threatened to take every company under the sun to court who had the word 'easy' in their name !!

just a couple of examples

If that's correct then they may well be a lot of people ringing up to query why their credit isn't right on their phones

I like this one too

Withdrawal of funds from your account £5
If you cancel your subscription with easyMobile and have a remaining balance you want to withdraw, it will be subject to a £5 fee, which covers our cost in relation to paying you the money by cheque or by bank transfer.

plus

Account blocking fee £5
easyMobile allows customers to have a negative balance of up to £10 for up to three days. But we will tell customers in advance that their account balance is close to zero. Warning will be sent by email and SMS. easyMobile believes this is a good service for customers, however if your negative balance remains for longer than 3 days, or you exceed the £10 limit you risk having your account restricted which will cost £5 to restore full service.

and

Reopen a lost or stolen phone £5
If you have recovered your phone after having it reported as lost or stolen we charge you a fee to reactivate your phone. This fee covers our expenses regarding reactivating your phone.

So if your phones is swiped and you get it back you will no doubt end up getting billed for the fact that the whoever took it probably wiped out your credit and possibly even took it into negative credit balance as well the charge for putting it back onto the network. Joy.

Well I thought this thread was well worth an update.

Have just had notice today that Easymobile have launched an addition to their tariff. Calls between Easymobile customers are now charged at 3ppm and texts 1p.

This on top of their last update which gave us MMS* at 20p and GPRS data at £3GBP per MB. It's making their service look even more competitive.

They've also added a tariff checker to their site so you can see what you can save.

I've been with Easymobile since they started and haven't been charged one fee. I really like the auto-topup facility, I never run out of credit now.

*not that I've managed to get my K700i to accept the settings - think that's a problem with the phone though not the service.

Just checked the calculator, seems to be biased towards easymobile, claims that 30min of calls per month calls on Tesco Mobile (Value or normal?? not clear) will cost £4.50, same as easymobile, but I know that if you buy a bundle on Tesco mobile for 25min at £2.50 all calls are charged at 10ppm after the 25 min allowance, thus 30min will cost £3, undercutting easymobile by £1.50!
