Cheapest prepay mobile in Finland?

Cheapest prepay mobile in Finland?

What is the best prepay card for a visitor to Finland staying 3 weeks? DNA, Saunalahti, Sonera, or something else??? I am interested in sending SMS (to Finnish mobiles) ONLY. No roaming, no international. Just cheap SMS, including countryside coverage. Which one do you have? Which company do you recommend (if it%26#39;s prepay)?

How much is the startpack?

Thanks

When you arrive in Finland just walk into the neares R Kiosk and ask there which one has the best offer at the moment. R Kiosks sell practically all prepaids.

Hi!

Saunalahti Prepaid is the cheapest offering at the moment and the airtime costs 6,6 c /minute. SMS%26#39;s cost 6,6 c each.

The starter package costs normally 6,70 e and includes 6 e airtime.

- It%26#39;s is on special at R-Kioski at the moment, and costs just 4,90.

You have to add more airtime within 3 months to keep it operational, and after that within 12 months.

Other operators also have prepaid packages, however they aren%26#39;t as cheap, e.g.

DNA PrePaid and DNA Arvo:

The main difference between the two DNA prepaid subscriptions is price per minute.

DNA Prepaid is terribly expensive - the airtime price is 16, 0 c /minute as DNA Arvo costs 6,9 c /minute.

You can use DNA Arvo also abroad, but actually that will be terribly expensive. (But you wrote that you don%26#39;t need that).

DNA Prepaid package is operational as you buy it, but I have understood that Arvo requires registration and is operational after 24 h. (That%26#39;s the %26quot;contract%26quot; they mention, and you can also move another contracted - non prepaid - subscription number from other operators to Arvo - that%26#39;ll take more time).

DNA Arvo starter package costs 10 e and contains 10 e worth of airtime, and DNA Prepaid costs 17 e and includes 10 e worth of airtime. (DNA Prepaid started package is on special at R-Kioski at the moment and costs 7.90)

TeleFinland Helppo is a prepaid subscription that costs 9 e as a stater package which includes 11 e airtime. The airtime costs 6,9 c /minute.

With Helppo the minimum airtime usage is 2,90 e /month - if you use less, they%26#39;ll always charge you the minimum usage every month.

(TeleFinland Helppo starter package is on special at R-Kioski at the moment and costs 7.90).

Hope this helps...

Need to correct my earlier statement:

- Saunalahti Prepaid starter package is on special at R-Kioski at the moment, and costs 5,90 e.

(Not 4,90 e!)

The special will be valid until 1.10.2009.

Sorry for the confusion.
