Mobile phone network

just wondering what network most you are with, the plan you're on and how much you pay a month.

I've been paying about £42, i've been with vodafone 4 years and when i went to upgrade my phone they couldn't actually make my monthly plan cheaper unless i cancelled my contract and took out another. seems stupid, and then i'd be tied into an 18 month contract.

went into o2, and the same phone for 25 a month with more or less the same amount of inclusive minutes and texts.

the phone i wanted was the samsung e900.

just wondering what deals you've found.

Mine's not too bad - T Mobile U-Fix, £25 a month for 30 mins anytime calls (not much but I hardly call anyone) and about 500 texts, plus got a free Sony Ericsson D750i, which I love. Not too bad really I don't think.

O2 are a bit poor when it comes to customer service - but it tends to more than make up for it with rewards.

For £30 a month I get 200 anytime any network minutes - which I never use so they always rollover and is now up to about 820 minutes !!! I originally got 500 texts then that was doubled to a 1000 and it seems to keep going up.

And I've just got the Sony Ericsson K800i for free too after they tried to charge me £80 - should be arriving on Monday. Ace.

O2 Pay & Go (Online).

Usually top up £10-15 month. That gets me either 500 or 1000 free texts and 1mb free WAP. Also have Calls50 bolt on (£7.99).

Next time I'll probably go pay monthly, but not with O2, their signal is quite poor around here, unlike T-Mobile/Orange. To be honest I look at what I get with Pay and Go, add it to the pice of my phone (£120) and work out how much I spend in a year, and I don't think I'd get much more out of Pay Monthly than what I get at the moment.
