Hi,
I wonder if anyone can offer some advice.
My elderly father (87) and aunt(82) currently have cashback deals,
co-ordinated by me.
With cashbacks proving harder and harder to find - and with the net
monthly cost of cashbacks rising from free to around £7.50 per month, I
think that they should go for pay as you go phones on the basis that
they send no texts and probably make only a couple of calls a months on
their phones.
Whilst cashbacks were net free (albeit with a risk that the cashback
would not pay out) I was happy to recommend them to the family - but now
there must be a better way.
My question is which would be the best PAYG route to take bearing in
mind their very limited usage. They both currently have O2 phones which
I presume are unlocked - though I am not sure a I have not tested other
SIMs in them.
Thanks for any advice

Go for the t-mobile solo deals or a long running PAYG sim. I assume they
don't want to change phones every year so all they need is a limited
amount of credit ? Stick 10 quid or so onto a Tesco sim every 3 months.
