Title: Free As You Go / FREE £5 credit per month Post by: davegr on November 10, 2015, 01:50:34 PM Hi all,
I recently found this site which claims to offer you a free sim with £5 free credit per month, every month, forever. Call rates are not particularly great i.e 10p per minute so it will really only be useful for the lightest of users. The site is http://www.freeasyougo.com/.

I call out side the UK alot and most places are only 10p

I call out side the UK alot and most places are only 10p Once you use the £5 free credit (quite easy at 10p per minute!) calls are much more expensive than e.g 3 for UK calls (3p per minute) or Lyca, Lebara, Vectone etc for international (e.g 1p to India). It won't take many minutes until your £5 is no longer 'free' and you end up paying more overall than if you chose another provider. If you make very few calls per month and will stay within the £5 free credit or only go slightly over, then it's a good deal.

Does anyone know if free credit could be used on UK calls/texts only. Thanks. dlR Title: Re: Free As You Go / FREE £5 credit per month Post by: davegr on November 12, 2015, 01:20:08 PM I haven't tested it to be certain but as I understand it, it works just like standard credit.

A week or so later it still has no credit.

See details on a letter where SIM card was attached. dlR Title: Re: Free As You Go / FREE £5 credit per month Post by: davegr on November 30, 2015, 07:56:52 PM I was not aware of this. I didn't read the letter properly and I'm quite sure it's shredded by now!
Do you have any idea what I need to do? Title: Re: Free As You Go / FREE £5 credit per month Post by: delaro on November 30, 2015, 07:58:46 PM You need to activate the free credit Dave.

Title: Re: Free As You Go / FREE £5 credit per month Post by: davegr on December 02, 2015, 06:45:59 PM After a few tests I've found the following:
118 - doesn't connect 070 - doesn't connect 0843 - connects 0844 - connects 0845 - doesn't connect 0870 - doesn't connect 0871 - connects 0872 - connects 09 - doesn't connect All 08 calls which do connect appear to be charged at 25ppm. International calls only connect for me if I prefix with +, not when I prefix with 00. Title: Re: Free As You Go / FREE £5 credit per month Post by: Ian012 on December 03, 2015, 11:27:43 AM After a few tests I've found the following: Have you tried a range of 1p to 13p per minute Service Charge numbers on each of the 084 and 087 ranges to confirm the cut off isn't directly related to the level of Service Charge imposed?118 - doesn't connect 070 - doesn't connect 0843 - connects 0844 - connects 0845 - doesn't connect 0870 - doesn't connect 0871 - connects 0872 - connects 09 - doesn't connect All 08 calls which do connect appear to be charged at 25ppm. International calls only connect for me if I prefix with +, not when I prefix with 00. Setting a call price of 25p per minute is a breach of Ofcom's new Clear Call Rates for Everyone regulations which require a consistent Access Charge for all 084, 087, 09 and 118 numbers that the network allows to be called.

I did try some 13ppm 087 calls and could not connect at all. Mind you, would this pricing consistency apply to a free credit as well ? dlR |
