Easymobile Alternatives

Shame it's closing, I really liked the service which keeps your account
active for 80p per month even if you never used your number

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative that provides the same
service?

Any of the networks PAYG services do that, and for £0.00 per month
weather you use it or not.

You must be a bit thick! Why pay 80p a month when all other operators don't
charge. Virgin for example only requires one incoming or outgoing call
every 6 months no matter how much credit is on the phone.
I take it your post was a joke?

wasn't joking. maybe poorly informed. often a bit thick.

Cheers anyway

Easy was a penny per text between easy 'phones... that was our clincher when
we joined. Plus free 'phone each. Didn't even use up first £20... Must have
got pretty close though. I think it will work out at roughly a free Nokia
1101.

Any other providers offer a 1p per text deal?

VirginMobile were offering free texts between customers across the summer.

None of the other PAYG services allow "Call redirection" as far as I know.
easyMobile was well was worth 75p a month to me for that.

Also, none of the other services allow automatic top ups from debit/credit
cards when the balance is about to run out as far as I know.

Virgin will allow payment in arrears by direct debit but then they don't
allow Call Re-direction.

I have a Virgin SIM in an old 6210 sitting in my car glovebox as an
emergency spare. It hasn't had a call made on it since March, but it was
still working ok when I checked it yesterday.

Tesco are good IMHO. 10p/min to your 3 favourite numbers.

Only any good if you know the person concerned is on the same network. I
have absolutely no idea what networks most of my friends are on, they've
ported them so many times..! So have I come to that, my original Orange
number has been on just about everything over the last few years..!

Yes, they seem best for me also.
The Tesco value tariff matches EZ.
They are offering £5 of free calls if you keep the same number.

You can even change to the standard tariff for 40p in and out Europe calls,
then change back again to the value one.
For what I need, it seems way better than any other operator.
Shame there's no automatic top up, I found this one of the best things about
EZ.

I don't make enough calls to worry about it, I put £50 on when I switched
last December, I've still got about £35 left..!

Anybody know whether Fresh support international roaming and if so
what the rates are?
