British Expats - Non contract phone?

Speakout 7-11 have a promotion at least a couple of times a year where you get another $25 credit if you buy $100 in one go.

We have a couple of speakout SIMs in our household, and have had success in the past buying the credit in-store, and getting the store to give us $25:$100, $50:$75, etc. as one account has a much higher usage rate than the other. I *think* this may not be as easy any more...

You can also get the deal online these days, which is a lot easier than going to a store.

We've had no complaints with Speakout. Have also picked up a spare SIM for house guests to use when they are visiting (and had a free phone from a previous speakout promotion.. got it in addition to the $25 extra credit... it's very basic, but perfect if a visitor needs something to use while they're around, and they can't/don't want to SIM-swap in their own mobile)
