    How many texts do you send?

    Simple question, how many texts do you send a month on average?
    Got my t630 last friday and i've sent 220 texts since then. Thats about average for me on PAYG. Works out at about 30 texts a day so about 900 texts a month. Thats quite a bit...

    Trust me, i would get a contract if i could. Im 17 and my parents won't let me get one in their name. They would rather let me spend tonnes more on credit every month

    Luckily I get 500 free texts a month, so I take full advantage of that! Unfortunately I still go over! My average amount a month is about 700! But when my girlfriend is home from uni during the holidays, they do seem to go down! I don't know why though!

    Hey Shogun, what provider are you with? O2 PAYG have one where you get 300 free texts a month, providing you top up with at least £10 a month. I know its not many texts compared to 900, but still, its a £30 saving if you're paying for them all! If you're interested, I have a couple of those sims lying around, unopened and unregistered if you want one.

    Thanks for the offer mate, Thats the same type of sim ive been using for about a year now, it does save me alot of cash but i seem to get through them all during the second week. Looks like il just have to wait out till i can get a contract.

    I send about 200 a month. Most of them are along the lines of "So, who's coming down the pub then?".

    It's really hard to find a good text tariff though. Hardly any tariffs include more than 50 texts included and the ones that do offer a decent number of texts don't come with any included minutes.

    The only ones I could find that gives a good balance of the two are 02's online tariffs. 02 give you 500 free texts every month on top of your included voice minutes. I'd rather be on Orange/Vodaphone though....
