Low cost mobile phone plan for Bike mobile

se99paj

I'm hoping there are a few people here with a similar query to myself.

I have an old phone that I would like to use just for my bike, I'll use the phone for Strava, Google Maps, maybe phone calls in case of emergency. This way I can leave my significantly more expensive phone at home.

But does anyone have any suggestions for a Sim only plan that I could use?

Most of the PAYG plans I've found seem to have monthly expiry, I was hoping to buy a bundle for a few quid then just top-up as/when I need to.

There are others - but I'd look at GiffGaff - you can just use credit - or buy a plan that lasts for a month - no tie ins - helpful if you're an occasional user and you know you'll want extra for a specific time - eg I up my bundle to "loadsmoregigabites" when I'm off on holiday ... then drop it to normal for the next renewal - because most of the time I'm on wifi - so don't need loadsadata.

Three 3-2-1 sim (3p/min phone, 2p text, 1p per MB(?) interweb browsing), PAYG. buy a £10 topup, use it something like once every six months to keep the topup valid.

I use the Three payg sim also. Still on first £5 top up 2 years later

Do you mean you'll use this on your bike, so attached to the handlebars etc?

I've always had my phone with me. Never broken it yet.
A ziplock bag to keep the rain out or a dedicated pouch for it works fine. Just put it in your back pocket.
All my cycling pals do the same. No problems at all.

Giffgaff is perfect for this. Effortlessly flexible and as reliable as the O2 network allows. We have a house 'spare' phone on giffgaff as is one of the kids' and its excellent.
