After a bit more poking around I've come to the conclusion that Easymobile have the cheapest tariff out there. Bummer, thought I'd be able to make a saving somewhere.  |
Are they cheaper? |
Read post number 1 for a clue.... TMobile is mentioned  |
I overlooked it then. Sorry

Looks like the same sort of tariff as Easymobile - still, it shows it can be done.
Edit - Although Tesco charge 20ppm for x netwrok calls, so again that's another one out of the window. |
where did you see that, shaun, my little book says 15p for all mobiles and landlines, day or night, but uk only?

You are quite right, looks like the info I came across was for a different Tesco tariff.
Tesco's site : http://www.tescomobile.com/valuesim.aspx
Fresh comparison (bottom of the page) - (says 20p): http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/com....MAINPAGE.PAYG

Re: Mobile phone tariffs expensive?
Virgin calls to other mobiles are 35p per minute, and still expensive on their bundles.
Tesco mobile offer bundles £2.50 per month for 25 mins of calls to any UK landline or mobile and then 10p per minute for rest of month, you can also have a bundle for text messages at 5p per message to any UK mobile. Rates for Tesco value SIM are different.

That is why this Tesco 'value sim' is fine, for me, I only pay for what I use & know exactly how much it is costing.
- just as an aside, strictly speaking not 100% on topic, but related to mobiles and expense, I was amazed at the different charges I came across when looking to unlock my phone to use the Tesco sim. Talk about buyer beware, some places wanted £25, I sent off for a code for â‚ ¬9.99, yesterday, which still hasn't arrived although Paypal confirmed the payment. Eventually I found a code generator site & did it for nothing - which was lucky as both locks were set & the code I was waiting for will only release the first.

Re: Mobile phone tariffs expensive?
T Mobile's reception coverage is utter pants. I'm on it and won't be staying with them at the end of my contract, probably go back to Vodafone.
