Nano sim dongle

[trevskoda]

only hassle with pyg is remembering to top up every 4 months.

we used to have orange , but found topping up online was a farce...if the orange website worked our natwest and tsb cards would be refused..... bank reckoned it was some anti fraud thing as scroats with stolen cards would put a small topup on a mobile to test the card worked....wed end up having to go to town to use the banks cash machine to top up the phone. i got so pissed off with it that i got the 5 pound monthly plusnet contract by direct debit even though it cost me more.

Orange are rip of ,i bought my sim outright many years back for my biz so not to lose my ph number,started out at 30p a min for the first 2 then dropped to 15p thereafter,until now to which they charge 50p a min and removed my free answer ph service,but then again my last mth bill was a £1,not that im tight.

Why not port your ORANGE phone number to 1p Mobile?

For very low users such as you, GiffGaff is the best bet, because credit never expires.

O2's Classic PAYG is cheaper than GiffGaff for calls, 5p/min compared to 15p/min and the credit never runs. Funny thing is O2 own GififGaff!

Best value mobile contract I have had was one of the O2 PAYG ones they had from around 2010 - choose from Data, Text or Call orientated ones and top up by a set amount to get the allocation in the bundle - but that topup became a credit on your account - the allocation was a 'reward' for the top up.
I topped up £15 a month and after around 18 months or so had around £250 credit on my account - so converted to a Contract and that monthly charge was taken out my account credit.
They don't do those PAYG deals any more

Went with Sky Mobile .. 10GB a month for £15 (+free calls and texts) but key thing is used data rolls over for upto 3 years, and Sky allows tehering on all data.

GiffGaff is good value for very low use (I used a GiffGaff SIM in my vehicle GSM/GPS Tracker) but what I don't like about GiffGaff is there is zero customer service. usually you never need to call a phone company, but with GiffGaff you just can't. So if you have a problem with GiffGaff, good luck!

Are you sure about the credit not running out on O2? Mine did!

[later] On reflection, perhaps it was not used to make or receive a call for too long. It cetrtianly died, eating the credit I had left.

It does on some of their PAYG plans but not on the Classic plan, at least that's what I was told and reading on my link it says you just pay for what you use and top up with 10.00 when it's run out, hence the name "Classic" I suppose.
