Simply 8p - is it no longer available?
Just when I decide Simply 8p would be the best one to have on the other phone, looks like it's gone - and no free unlocks to be found for that one.

I know what would work for ME on my main phone (unlocked), and that's either:
Lycamobile - the per minute / per MB rates are crazy good, maybe Giffgaff, or maybe risk the ads with Ovivo (150min/150 text/400MB data per month - FREE)

Got to move it away from VM, as no way am I dropping a quid to do one little lookup, and as far as I've seen, that will definitely be a flat rate, not a capped rate - and while for 100MB it's good, for a page or 2, it's rubbish!



The thing is, the other phone is locked, so stuck with VM on that, and the X-net rate on PAYG original is AWFUL, and not really impressive on the current tariffs.

Re: Simply 8p - is it no longer available?
Think it's gone the same way as 'Tesco Mobile Lite'. You can still get it, but it's no longer advertised.

Re: Simply 8p - is it no longer available?
Locked one (bad news) is a Sagem ... my411c - not one that free unlocks can be found for - at least, I'm pretty sure it's locked, it's payg VM & branded, and I don't suppose they had to unlock them for the network switch (though I do remember some crazy beeping when that happened).

Guess I should try throwing another SIM in, just to be sure it rejects.

Got one other that is unlocked, but ye olde Trium Geo is a bit of a lump!

Re: Simply 8p - is it no longer available?
Tesco Mobile are still doing their "Lite" sim card (found after a little hunting).
8p per min calls (inc 0800 & 0845), 4p texts.

Re: Simply 8p - is it no longer available?
I saw 2 types of Virgin Mobile sims in poundland today. One was the Simply 8p one, although the Tesco one posted above is cheaper.
