    keep clear from Three mobile. They charge about 25p a text (to the South) and since I've joined up I always end up forking out 10-15 extra on top of my monthly contract with the texts I send back home. O2 only used to charge me 12p a text for Ireland. If you do find an answer please let me know because I'd swap over!

    I've looked into this myself Crafty and didn't come across any at the time. I've a contract with Vodafone which is great value to be fair but when you are charged 20p for every text to an Irish mobile then it adds a fair few quid onto the monthly charge.

    Free texts online no? Save everything you've got to say til you're on a computer and send them all then.

    Exactly. Not sure how many your own operator allows but I know o2 allow 250 free text's per month to any number.

    I've emailed every British mobile network at some stage, and they all said they had no such offers. I'm on a virgin contract and costs me 20p for every text home. I also have a meteor phone and you can text home for 20c on that, so I carry the two of them around!

    I switched from my 02 genie card to the 02 Simplicity deal:

    Contract which can be ended with 30 days notice, you can even take it out for a month.
    Online 15 SIM deal only
    £15 a month
    Pay Monthly contract
    400 texts / 200 anytime mins
    Includes Unlimited O2 calls

    Texts to Ireland are charged at 12p though.
    As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
