I'm on Orange pay as you go,I don't use the phone all the time,My brother Digsy is on Orange and pays monthly he thinks it's a good network,your best off getting one that most of your mates and family are on as going from one firm to the next can be expensive,good luck!:)

Re: mobile phones?
 

Check what network coverage is like in the areas you will use the phone. Up Bash only Orange gets a decent signal. I've been with Orange since 96 and haven't had any problems at all.

As Wayne also says, X network calls can be very expensive so try and stick with what network friends and family are on.

Re: mobile phones?
 

I only have Orange because the company pays the phone bill. Orange has patchy coverage down here in the South East.

If I had the choice I would not go for Orange!

If you can, you want to try and find a shop that is completely independent. Places like The Link (Dixons) may sell phones for all networks, but they are tied to a particular provider (O2 in this case).

Places like the Carphone Warehouse are independent, so should be able to give you impartial advice.

Don't know if this is any help but virgin do a scheme where you can get billed every month for what you used, but if you sign over to this you cannot go back to pay as you go.

Re: mobile phones?
 

i think its either between O2 or t - mobile.probabley t mobile cause you get loads of offers. like i get 200 free texts every year for FREE and my phone isnt on contract either

I’ve been using Vodafone for the last few years (5 or6) and I haven’t had any problems with the net work. Even some of my friends have actually changed over to Vodafone. Why, I don’t know.
I have been up and down the country even abroad never had a failed signal, unless of coarse I just had a good mobile phone (receiver).

Re: mobile phones?
 

I use Virgin and just get charged for what I use by direct debit every month;also have a bundle where you get 200 texts to any network for @ £10 a month.Been with them for about 6 years and wouldn't swap.

Re: mobile phones?
 

thanks to everyone for your information im still undecided but will let you all know wot & which network i get the best deal from.

Re: mobile phones?
 

Have a look on the vodafone web site, have been with them for 3 years, signed up on the net, great deals.

100mins free to any network + 50 free texts per month including free phone £15 per month, think the same deal is still on offer but with inflation it's now £18 per month

Try a genie sim card from 02 cost £9.99p. As long as you top up at least £10.00 per month you get 300 free text messages a month. I 've been on it for 3yrs now and saved a fortune over a contract with Orange.

Re: mobile phones?
 

Don't pay a Tenner for a Genie sim. They give them away every month. I've had at least 20 up to now(They go for ~£2.50 each on Ebay). Orange also occasionally do free sims. Keep an eye in alt.consumers.uk-discounts.and.bargains newsgroup. You have to be relatively quick though!
