Listener email:

Hi Guys, have a question for you for the podcast. I’m on an economy drive at home and want to save some money and being a regular listener i think I’m asking the right guys. I have an iphone that it is out of contract and have dropped that down to the "simplicity 20" to save £25 per month. I make quite a few calls during the day to mobiles and have racked up a bit of a bill on my BT landline. O2 is rubbish where I live so ive bought a cheap crappy PAYG nokia for £15 from phone4u. What is the best PAYG deal I could get to phone mobiles for the smallest amount of my hard earned?

Any Ideas.

ALso (Q 2) Andy, as I have an iphone that is now out of contract and unlocked, Am I able to get a second PAYG sim for it from Orange or O2 so that I can do that Rebel sim card thing with my 3 MiFI. Could I just ask Orange to send me a sim for an iphone, activate it myself, then pop my original O2 sim back in as it has my main number in it?

Have a good show and don’t forget to press that big red button that says ‘Record’! Sorry, couldn’t resist it!Thanks, found it this week – Ed
