    Vodaphone here...

    500Mins + 500 Texts for £50 pm.

    But... I didn't get a new handset with my recent upgrade.. so its only £35 pm :D
    I'm using a Nokia 7610... but I'm lusting after a 8260. Or is it a 8620. Stupid numerical names...

    Never had any trouble.. 1st class customer services 2.

    I :love: them.
    (well not really but they are good like!)

    Have a gander here..

    You can get 200mins and 500 for £30 with a free fone with Orange, Vodafone, O2 etc. Theres some good deals out there. Check on ther websites for better deals than in the shops.

    Would stay the hell away from O2 :evil: I joined Orange this year and they've been fab. Everything worked before i even asked it to, their cust serv has been a million times better than O2 :up:

    I'll second this..

    O2 really are shite.. I was with them for a few years.. crap customer service and even worse signals.

    The only place I could get a signal in my room was in one corner. Even then it wasn't guaranteed :( :lol:

    lol I have never had one problem with o2 and I have been with them since the dawn of creation (when they were genie) They even let me know when I can get my next free phone, and the one that has the most features. 500 Free texts pcm, 50 evening mins a night,500 net mins £25 pm, and because the tariff suits me so much I rarely go over that. Even get o2 treats each month, and free downloads of games and stuff from siemens wap site :)

    They do give you money back on a new handset though, I've just bought a £100 one for my gf :)

    Any top-ups you've put on your phone since 1st Jan 2004 count towards the total, check virginmobile.com to see how much you have.

    I have been with every network except 3 (because of their early poor rep) and biased towards Orange or not after they paid my wage for 2 years...hands down i find them the best :up:

    They do some good online deals aswell with free customer service as opposed to o2's 0845 lines and i think Vodafones also.

    Often when people on O2 text me I get the same text about six times in a row a few hours later.

    I have no problems to note with Orange though.
