many people would have heard a lot about the current mobile operators available mainly them being orange, one2one, vodafone and btcellnet but nothing has ever been said about genie mobile a partner operator in the bt operation. I first heard of genie mobile at one of my local free uk sites where it said you can pick up a sim card for a mere £1, very reasonable but I don't own a credit card so it was no good.

I was again looking round my free sites where I came across a link that said genie sim cards are absolutely free I was shocked I couldn’t believe they would give away sims for free, but its absolutely true. The sim cards are free not only that but the text messages are free subject to you only sending 600 or less a month, also another great thing about it is if your phone is wap enabled that is also free.

What’s the catch I here you say, well there is one that says you have to top up every 30 days which isn't really a problem for me but it may be
for only the occasional users. The tariff is also very good on genie and I will tell you about it

Text Messages - Free

Wap Access - Free

Peak Phone Call P/M - 30p

Off Peak P/M - 10p

Weekends - 5p

Calls To Bt Cellnet/Genie Users - 25p (Peak) 10p (Off Peak)

Calls To None Bt Cellnet/Genie Users - 50p (Peak) 35p (Off Peak)

Voicemail Retrieval - 10p (peak) 5p (off peak)

Peak Rate Hours - 7:00am - 19:00pm
Off peak Hours - 19:00pm - 7:00am

This makes genie one of the best tariffs around because I have checked other pre-pay tariffs and this turns out to be the best one. The main reason I chose this network is because I text message very often and often pay the price for it but because this is free I can send 600 texts a month without worrying.

The genie website is full of information about the phones available and also the different tariffs on offer all include free texts and wap but I stuck with the pre-pay because its better for me. There is also a full range of different mobile phones available on there network, there is also a online helper available to answer any queries you may have.

Altogether a brilliant network that is gunning towards the future and together with Bt cellnet May one day take over from orange as the biggest mobile phone operator around. I hope my opinion has come in handy for all mobile phone owners out there.

If you would like to purchase a genie sim card for nothing and I mean nothing follow this link http://www.mobile.genie.co.uk/shop and then click on the pre-pay link
