Is this the cheapest PAYG deal around?

The cheapest UK Pay-As-You-Go deal around?

Yesterday, I was talking with the ASDA Mobile help desk.

I've been using their PAYG tariff for the last couple of years.

The helper said: "We're the cheapest PAYG tariff around."

You may not have heard of it, as ASDA Mobile piggybacks onto the Vodafone network, and there must be some deal whereby ASDA cannot advertise because of this. But you can pick up a SIM at the supermarket checkout or in the electrical section.

It's 8p / min for calls, 4p for texts.

Is there a cheaper PAYG deal?

This does sound good. Do they have data services as well? How many MB per month over 3G?

Marvin,

It says 20p/MB on their website:
