I switched to a recent T-Mobile PAYG offering of 'free' SMS and GPRS Internet for a tenner a month top-up. Perfect for me because I now get GPRS Internet and T-Mobile offers the best reception in the areas I spend most of my time. Obviously I lose up to 1,550 minutes of call time a month, but I noticed that I rarely used any of them. You might be better off dumping the whole thing and seeing what's around in twelve moths. At the moment, for example, e2save is offering a free phone with up to 600 cross-network minutes and unlimited SMS for less than a tenner a month with cashback: <http://www.e2save.com/mobile-phone/contract/alcatel+/Alcatel---OT_708&utm_medium=Banner&utm_campaign=Banner3>. Who knows what'll be around in 12 months, but these cashback deals have been around for as long as I can remember. ED50 used to be a good deal, but it's showing its age now. -- Martin Jay Back the Ban: <http://www.backtheban.com/> League Against Cruel Sports: <http://www.league.org.uk/>

Can't see the sense in dumping the OVP-VM as it doesn't cost! -- J B

I have an OVP VM SIM. I've only used it about half a dozen times during the past six years... to leave free voicemail for other Orange customers. :) If the original poster was to dump ED50 and get a new (Orange) contract in twelve months offering oodles of inclusive minutes I can't really see any point in holding on to the OVP VM account. I know, I know... it's free and it's difficult to let go. I still have my SIM in a drawer somewhere gathering dust. :) But with Asda Mobile, for example, offering cross-network calls for 8p/min, OVP VM doesn't look like such a great deal. -- Martin Jay Back the Ban: <http://www.backtheban.com/> League Against Cruel Sports: <http://www.league.org.uk/> |
