PAYG Tariff With Cheap International Texts

[pedigreechum]

Does anybody know of a good pay as you go tariff that will give me cheap text messages to my girlfriend in France?

I currently pay 24p per message but still dont spend enough to warrant a contract.

I am on O2 using a genie card. It gives me 300 texts a month free - all I have to do is top up once a month for �10 (this works out at 3.33p per text!!). I can use the �10 top up for either calls or additional texts to the 300 free ones. I have been on it for just under a year and have built up over �60 credit on my phone as I never use the full allowance. You can initially fix how much to top up by and this gives you different allowances. I recently used it to text my sister in Portugal and it still registered as a free text within my monthly allowance. Cant recommend it highly enough. I have a spare card if you want it (worth �9.99 online).
