Asda Mobile is the cheapest PAYG deal in the UK ATM. 8p per minute & 4p per text and they use the Vodafone network. I've used them for a few months without problem.

EDIT: I had the same problem MikeHunt79. Turned out I had to put the APN address in the APN name field with my phone. All the other settings were fine:

I'd say O2 is the best depending on how much you top-up and bolt-ons.

I top-up £10 per month and get:
- 300 free texts
- 1000 free mins or texts to 10 favourite numbers (costs £5)
- £5 left to spend on calls to other networks/landlines/O2 numbers not in top 10/additional texts

All depends on what you want/need :)

This also sounds very good, what kind of deal/ sim is that?

Three themselves have a pretty fair offering (you didn't say why you wanted out):

£10 gets you

300 texts (600 if you top up online)
3000 3-3 minutes
Free voicemail
150mb internet
Free skype/MSN
These last for 90 days, unlike the 30 of most operators.

Asda one looks really good.

Thing is, i would want to keep my existing telephone number. Are there instances where someone has lost their number? I need my number for work and would hate for them to mess it up!
