Looking for the cheapest mobile line for a second SIM card or occasional use? In this thread, forum users debate the best low-cost options, comparing prepaid and zero-fee contract plans to maximise monthly savings.
Key points of the discussion
Low-cost plans: Options starting at €1 a month with carriers like Simyo or DIGI are mentioned, praised for their flexibility and lack of long-term commitments.
The zero-fee option: Some users highlight contract plans with no monthly fee, where you only pay for what you use, although they warn about possible initial shipping costs or balance top-ups.
Reliability versus price: There is a debate about the quality of "obscure" or lesser-known carriers: while some seek maximum savings with alternative providers, others warn about potential problems when porting important numbers.
What forum users say about saving on mobile services
Position A (The pragmatist): Some users defend established carriers like Simyo, arguing that for one euro a month you get a "reliable" line with no technical hassles, ideal for secondary numbers that need to receive SMS or are used only occasionally.
Position B (The bargain hunter): Other forum users explore alternatives from lesser-known virtual operators offering unlimited plans or large data packages at very competitive prices, though they warn that it is worth researching the company's fruta to avoid problems if you want to keep your number in the long run.
