Where can I get a phone sim from
 

Ok, I want no monthly charges, I just want to be able to credit the number and that credit lasts until spent. I just need to be able to send a text hopefully never.

A search so far has only come up with Asda who will charge 4p/text but you need to send one at least every 9 months.

The reason for it is I was looking at GPS trackers, you send them a text, and they text you back. Ideal for hiding somewhere on your bike.

the idea being put £10 credit on it. OK if the bike goes walkies I may have to put another credit on it , if it is "mobile" or I want to realtime track using GPRS, Otherwise, I should have its position for the cost of a couple of texts.

Think the main companies do an offer along the lines of buy a sim for a tenner, get 10 quid credit. I actually got a free one with my last contract renewal, which I thought was a little pointless.

I'd be more inclined to be getting a sim with the major carriers, the things only as good as the mobile coverage. Voda is 10p per text on payg, and I'd be testing it every month anyway so no worries about the minimum useage.
How much do those trackers finally sell for?

I saw sim cards on Tesco checkouts for 99p last night.

IIRC if you put 15 quid on it, they triple it to 45!

3 sims are free and they give free 3 to 3 texts after you've loaded a bit of credit.
they also allow £5 topups but you can only get those form a 3 store i belive.

I use t mobile in my gps tracker. Its 4 p per text to tmobile phones and there are free texts the next weekend when you top up 10 quid. I think its also free texts the following month. Whilst I was waiting for my free sim to arrive I used my phone sim and free text service like 02 to config the tracker.

GPS tracker worked well on the sussex rideout the other weekend. I set it on auto track with sms every 5 mins. Must have pleased tmobile but they did offer free texts over the weekend.

Battery life lasts about 2 days and I aim to hard wire it in with a motrax battery guard unit.

I have check out all the major companies, they all seem to want a monthly top up.
