My Useful Web

So far Asda mobile sim is the best one I have seen. Today my husband got a brochure from Asda showing the best yet sms and call charges. UK calls for only 8p and texts for only 4p and the simcard costs only 50p.

A couple of weeks ago I wanted to buy a new simcard but I wanted to get the best deal. I used to have O2 which was good for sending texts abroad because it cost only 10p but local texts cost 12p. I also have an Orange sim which is cheaper for sending texts locally as it costs only 10p but international texts cost 20p. So I couldn’t dispatch one or the other. I had to have them both. But it’s annoying because then I always had to carry two phones whenever I’m going out.  Actually I used to carry 3, the third one is for my Philippine roaming sim. I had to carry it with me because my mother was always anxious to hear from me. If she sent me a text and I didn’t reply within two hours she would start to get worried. But now she has adjusted so I don’t carry the third mobile anymore whenever I leave the house.

Anyway, so I scoured the web pages for a simcard with the best sms deal including phone calls. Then I found Lebara phones which offer cheap international calls and 10p UK and international sms. So I thought it was the best one. When I was about to check out the sim to the counter when I spotted the Tesco sim which offered different privilege, 5p text and 10p/minute call  to your 5 favorite number and if you top up £10 you get another £10 bonus plus clubcard points. So I had to make a quick and wise decision. I picked Tesco. After topping up £10 I did get another £10 bonus within a few minutes. However when I sent text to my mother I got shocked because it cost me 20p and it was deducted from my £10 topup and not from the £10 bonus I got.
