Okay, I have 3 kids, wife and myself. Youngest now wants a phone as well.
I'm on O2, wife is on Tesco mobile.
I wanted to get the kids PAYG SIM cards but they all seem to be pay £10 for a months access? Is it still possible to get a regular PAYG SIM where you add £10 and once it's used it's used (which could be in a day or a year).
Or, do companies do family deals where I would pay a flat monthly fee (just looking to keep costs as low as possible) for 5 handsets?
When it comes to phones and IT stuff I'm not even close to being in this century so don't have a clue as to what would be best. sorry.
Give me an engine though, I can work wonders with them haha!
Cheers
As much as I hate to say it, but I think Tesco are actually pretty good at this.
As part of a family group, as long as all the contracts are in one name, you get perks that can be added, such as extra minutes or data. On top of that they have settable buffers, so that you can cap any extra spend on a phone in a month, and this can be set to zero, so once you are through that monthly allowance that's it.
thanks Funkynick. I'm only on O2 beacause I always have been. It's a basic package but I think my wife's Tesco deal is way better.
Best to drop in to a local store I guess?

try 3 payg. It's what I use - you just pay for what you use....no hidden charges.
3p per minute
2p per text
1p per mg data
You can add credit (min £5) which never expires. Each time you add credit you get 150mg data for free.
Our lot all use giff gaff packages as sim only, seems to work well and reasonably priced. I think it runs off O2 network so putting sim in yours will be fine
EE do a sharing package so one contact and you share the minutes/texts/data across the numbers.
If not Giffgaff are about the cheapest for sim only with lots of minutes/texts.
