Anyone going to get a sim (http://www.familymobile.co.uk)?

It's running on t-mobile and prices are 9p per min and 6p per text.

Oh Dear

Sounds like another easymobile comming on. Glad I never signed up for them but some of the older ones in here will say once bitten etc. I love to know how T-Mobile let them set up a VM on there network at cheaper prices than they charge!

Beware that calls and texts mat be cheap. check their other prices like GPRS and 3G per meg

I wonder if the infrastructure company is the same one that underpinned easyMobile. Wasn't that a northern European outfit, Finnish or Danish or something like that - which would possibly explain the Ikea link? Those tariffs and modus operandi seem identical to easyMobile.

I had fun with easyMobile, especially their giveaway days of which I made some use of. You know a firm is going down when its giving away the only thing that it does!

I could have done with their Family Budget feature when the kids were younger. They've all grown up and got their own contracts now, save for the youngest - but even he cannot use up his allowance now the bundles are so huge!

I can't see myself taking up familymobile.
