Ad Lib Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 PS - If you still have a PAYG sim then you must either be under 12, have no friends, or poor. I get more free calls/texts with my PAYG deal than I would on a Contract. I'd say that's a pretty shrewd 4th option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Aye, she goes to the cinema, Argos and trawls round the shops for a couple of hours, then gets the bus home after pretending to be at school. Her Mum's blind - not stupid! You're in the shite now Smurph - Clydebank's lovely. Bankies, Bankies, Bankies....

Breaking Decency Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I don't have a contract phone. I did for the first two years of living here, but I was paying just over 30 squids a month for a deal that didn't even include free cross network minutes. Even when I worked for vodafone they charged me full price. b*****ds. Now I have a PAYG sim using the same number. I spend about 20 quid a month on top ups, and a fiver on Skype out credit using the same number which is free to most landlines in the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of deals are the giving on PAYG sim's these days? I get 1000 texts, 600 mins and unlimited internet for £30 (plus a free upgraded handset every year). Surely it can't be better than that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I have a pay as you go and the free texts I get with it normally last me fine. I let other people phone me when they organise things. I want a contract though, Don't really need it but I want one anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) You take that back right now you wee shite!! Except from Pete and Neil who live there, makes it all the better. Aye, she goes to the cinema, Argos and trawls round the shops for a couple of hours, then gets the bus home after pretending to be at school. Her Mum's blind - not stupid! You're in the shite now Smurph - Clydebank's lovely. Bankies, Bankies, Bankies.... Ah, fair enough then. Personally, if I were to dog school, I'd opt for town.

The Arch Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Aye, she goes to the cinema, Argos and trawls round the shops for a couple of hours, then gets the bus home after pretending to be at school. Her Mum's blind - not stupid! That sounds much more fun than school, to be fair. Argos or Maths? I know what I'd choose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it can't be better than that? Tenner top up gets 300 texts and free interwebs, but my phone is so shite it can't access the internet anyway. £20 gets 600 texts. My deal is shite, but then I rarely need to go over the tenner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvMarvSuperMarv Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Are you not only 16?! Get your auld fella to go out and get you a few tins, then sit in the house and drink them like the jakey you were born to be! That's what I've been doing all week (although I get them myself). Tomorrow night is party night anyway. f**k me. I've done that tonight! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 For a tenner a month top-up I get free evening and weekend texts, which covers the vast majority of my useage anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 PAYG seems great value if you don't phone people, but surely everyone makes more than £20 quids worth of calls a month or have texts just totally taken over? I wouldn't even say I make a ludicrous number of calls and still use 500ish mins a month. PS - I absolutely hate the fact that 'texting someone' is now actually a relationship status which seems to have come in before 'seeing someone'. What's happened to this country? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 That's a 'genie' sim, ain't it? Not a clue what you're on about. All I know is that 3 years ago I got a new sim free off o2 and it let me sign up to o2 TextAnytime or o2 Unlimited as opposed to my old shitty tariff. I should add to Fudge that I usually keep a phone for at least 2 years, and never spend more than £100 on a handset as a rule, making any perceived gain from being tied into a contract negligible. For the money I'm willing to pay every month on my phone, my best deal is a PAYG one. Simple fact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
