o2 Simplicity - £15 a month for 200 mins and 400 texts and unlimited o2 to o2 calls (which most of my mates are on)

Best bit is 1 month rolling contract, so if I see a better deal I can just cancel and switch with 30 days notice.

Giving it all the "what is best price??"

My best mate is Goan, born in the UK, we went to a good school together and both speak with an accent that some would consider to be "posh" [him more than me nowadays ] his parents both came via Namibia or somewhere, were educated at british schools and are very well spoken too.

BUT as soon as you get him in any situation where prices and money are involved, he gets the whole head bob on and starts talking like he just got off the fucking boat

Orange.
900 mins any time /network.
unlimited texts.
New orange magic number that i can call fof free, forever. Currently got two.
£30PM.

Magic numbers are currently Wife and daughter who were my main usage numbers anyway.

Kenny will be added next meaning i will use almost no mins at all, so can hopefully switch to a package with less mins for less cash per month at end of contract and keep my magic orange numbers.

I pity these people still playing a ton+ per month cos they got suckered into crap contracts by salesmen.

Three. Mix & Match 1100.

1100 Anytime any network minutes or texts or any mix of the two
300 3 to 3 minutes
Free Skype, MSN, yahoo, Ebay, Planet 3.
£20per month.
I opted for the 8gb N95 which costs £15per month in addition (3's take on it is; that they give you £15 a month worth of free Video mins, rather than you paying them £15 in addition for the phone) whatever way you look at it its a decent deal.
