In theory I'd agree. However I just bought a Tesco fone for about �16 Nokia 1280 and bought �20 top up. This they trebled to �60 (bonus must be used in a month) AND I can list five special numbers and get 50% discount on them so texts work out about 3p.

Best heavy user PAYG tariff is Three Flat 12, with stretch �25 added which triples the mins and or text, and includes 100 3 to 3 mins, with 150mb of data, and free Skype. Unfortunately as this tariff is now ringfenced, you'd have to buy one for transfer from an existing user Steve Terry -- Get a free Three 3pay Sim with �2 bonus after �10 top up http://freeagent.three.co.uk/stand/view/id/5276
