iPhone Pay As You Go
« on: December 29, 2012, 03:22:01 pm »
My 24 month contract with Orange/EE has finished so I have an option to upgrade from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 at a cost or move over from a contract to pay as you go and save some money. Does anyone have any suggestions for a cheap pay as you go SIM card for an iPhone, if it has free texts that would be a bonus other than that I just want to minimise the cost.

Can't go wrong with giffgaff! They use the O2 network.
Look on their website at their deals, unbeatable IMO

By far the BEST decision I made was to join the 3 network.  :notworthy:

I was happily on O2 for years paying £25 per month for 300mins, 300texts and 500mb Internet.  :stupid:

When I moved house I had to stand at the front window to make and receive calls too.

Since changing to 3 I get full signal anywhere in the house and 3G (not that I need to use it as I use wifi in the house) is always 8Mbps. (That's faster than the Broadband I used to get with BT and SKY)

Now with 3 I get....

All-You-Can-Eat Internet,
600mins
5000texts

All for £15.90 a month, If you agree to 12mths- which kinda makes it a contract.

Or

£18.90 a month for a 1month rolling contract.

I'm giff gaff

£10 a month for 300mins, unlimited texts and 1gb of data.

You get the same tariff with unlimited data for £12 a month.

Bought my iPhone sim free from apple. The initial outlay is more but over 2 years I save some cash and I'm not tied to a contract.

If you want a giff gaff sim I can give you a link to order from and you will get £5 free credit when you register the sim

+1 for Giffgaff

Is your iPhone 4 locked to Orange/EE, if so you need to get it unlocked to move to Giffgaff, as they are on the O2 network

Like others, I was paying O2 £30 a month for 500 mins and 600 texts and whatever the standard Internet usage was, but when my old handset died last year I decided to buy a 4S outright from Apple and switch to pay as you go.

I chose a 30 day rolling plan with T-Mobile for £15 a month. For that I get 330 mins, unlimited texts and I think either 500 or 750 MB Internet.

Even though the phone was expensive to buy upfront, it's definitely cheaper over 18 months to 2 years (which seems to be the standard length if most contracts) plus with the 30 day rolling plan can get out of it easily enough if I ever have any issues with signal strength etc
