Best network for PAYG

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

My youngest wants a new phone for Christmas ,any recommendations as to which network to go with as far as free stuff goes , I.E. extra minutes / texts etc ???

I would have a look into the Metro Centre Steve, the way things are, they might be handing out some better deals at the moment mate. Not one of your favourite places I know but it could be worth it as there are plenty of phone shops to go at.

I would look on line to be honest.
Most do better deals as they don't have the shop overheads.
I have just upgraded and had a look around most.
Even with a PAYG phone i would look at Virgin.
I find the phones are higer spec for you cash and service is good.
If o2 had not come up with a good deal at the last minute i was going to buy 2 phones off them.

go for o2 mate, ive got some genie sim cards everytime you top up £10 you get 300 free texts and if you top up £15 or more you get 500 free texts. you can get them free from o2. ive got a few left if you want one, i dont want anything for them just come and get them

Great stuff ,cheers lads

Also look at what the rest of her best mates and family are on.
Lots of companies do free calls if it is to the same network

O2 every time. Loads of freebees. At the moment if you top up you get to hook a duck and that gets you an extra bonus. ie; more free txts or more free minutes.

Virgin, £10 a month for 300 minutes and 300 txts available to Virginmedia customers. Just need to be careful what numbers you call, like I found out after the event. Rang an 0800 freephone number but turned out it wasn't free, it was stated in the small print but I just hadn't realised - should have used the house phone.

Back to smoke signals then (like Tonto and his mates), canny coverage depending on wind strength/direction and how many sticks you've got. Or if more local a couple of tin cans and some string.
