Any good? Comments please?

All I know is it is piggy-backed onto Vodafone.

Not too bad - if that includes cross-net.

provider

According to their leaflet, this rate does indeed include cross-net calls.

Hi,

Even though Asda do piggy back on the Vodafone network, that is all
that it is. There's no link to what each provider charges for
services. Vodafone maybe could offer that charging but they don't
because they charge their own structure for pricing in line with their
own products and services. Asda have their own structure.

It could be classed as similar with Virgin Mobile and T-Mobile, Virgin
Mobile piggy back on the T-Mobile network but they offer completely
different pricing structures as they are their own individual
companies.
