Best Pay as You Go sim Card

[john the baptist]

Hi All We need another mobile line as well as our two contracted mobiles for one of our children however we need it only for calls. Im looking for a recommendation as most companies are offering monthly payment schemes with data and all im looking for is the old fashion PAYG top up every 3 or six months.

I used to have one but forgot to top up before the deadline and now it has been lost plus the whatsapp number has gone as well

Can anyone recommend a company that has the PAYG option witout the various 4g data plan etc which has to be paid monthly as is essentially a contract with a 30 day commitment. As its for a young child it would be calls and home wifi only.

Thanks in advance

Most payg allow you to pay a small yearly fee (think its around 3 euros with hits network) and you dont need to top up every few months. Your whatsapp number is your telephone num. So lose your num...

I've got PAYG with Orange and Vodafone (and Virgin for the UK), I've never had a phone contract. I bought the Vodafone SIM a year or two back as I wanted a second SIM in our UK phone for local use in an emergency so we can have a Spanish number each. I bought it for 5€ and check it online to make sure it's still valid, making the odd call on it to keep it active.

The only problem was when it was put in the phone it was already on data which is always usually switched off and it immediately took 3€ off for the connection to the internet which I wasn't very pleased about! I never use internet via the phone SIM so for odd calls or texts or to receive calls it's fine.

You don’t say whether or not you are in Spain.
If you are, speak to your provider to see how much having an extra line would cost. Tell them your needs as some are offering extra lines for little or no cost especially as you only require basic usage.

a movistar second line with their fusion package is only 15€ a month so 50c a day ?

What telephone service do you have at home John?
