I want voice and SMS, but mostly to receive calls so I use Virgin which is PAYG (paid in arrears by direct debit).

I now have an Android phone (one of the specially badged Google ones ) so on top of my £1-£2 monthly bill for voice I'm now paying 30p/day for data, but only if I use it. I think that still works out cheaper than the providers offering £5/month for data as they also require at least £10/month contract.

I've added a line for Virgin to the page you referenced.
