Hi all, I'm looking for a UK PAYG sim with a 3-6 months no top up for infrequent us.Calls/Text only usage Must be low cost per minute, ie under 10p.
Anyone any ideas ? I can only seem to find monthly top ups and 30p a minute.
Any guidance much appreciated, P

In order to get the cheapest rates with many providers you need to buy their 'bundles', which include a certain number of minutes and/or a certain number of texts and/or a certain amount of internet data.
Getting your phone credit via 'bundles' can really see your calling costs fall. (For example, Vodafone normally charge 35p per minute for calls but buying a suitable bundle can see call charges fall closer to the 8p per minute I've quoted for Asda Mobile).
However, unlike normal calling credit, 'bundles' always expire at the end of 30 days, so you lose any unexpired credit from them at the end of that period.
Puzzled001 clearly doesn't want or need such 'bundles', so he should be looking for a provider that offers low calling charges using 'ordinary' credit. That's why I suggested Asda. (They heavily promote their own 'bundles' but there's no need to use them to get low calling rates).

I am with O2 & recently at the end of my 12 month contract & because I hardly ever use my mobile phone ( keep it for emergency use only )I have changed over to O2 PAYG Sim acc. I received a new sim from them & have paid £10 to get the account going. I am hoping that I will not need to top up until my £ 10 is used up. Am I correct in my assumption that this is correct or are you saying Chris that I will need to top up after a certain period of time even if I am still in credit ?
Ron:
As long as your £10 was used to buy 'normal' credit it remains valid indefinitely.
If you used it to buy a '£10 Big Bundle' it's only valid for a month:

Most PAYG offerings charge in the region of 30p+ a minute when you exceed your limit .. That's approx. 1000% more than they need be.
If you want your calls for less than 3p a minute and text for 2p without a contract or a 30 day bundle, this is the cheapest low user deal available in the UK today .. http:// tinyurl .com/q2 ncs6d .. Honest !
