Talkmobile : Great Value Calls and Texts on Pay As You Go and Pay Monthly use Vodafone who are pretty good and they have a range of deals that might suit
e.g. HTC Wildfire S 200mins /200 texts / 1GB data 24 mths for £12/mth
Or for bigger screen:
HTC Desire S 300mins / 3000 texts / 1GB data 24 months for £18/mth
I'm on a £18 deal with a Samsung Galaxy S (sorry) and it's been good for me

1: Wait until September when the latest iToy is out. They ought to have completed beta testing them by then.
2: Go Android / HTC and live up the geeky potential.
3: Embrace WinMo & HTC or Nokia, and good luck with that. I hear good things about WM7 but wouldn't bother taking the risk.
My info about other networks is about 7 yrs old - as around that time I went with O2 and haven't looked back. They may not be the cheapest but their customer service left Orange and Vodafone way, way behind. Also - Vodafone have rubbish reception in and around the City. O2 aren't perfect, but they've not let me down more than a few times in quite a while.

Mobile phone networks and new phone recs, please.
Right, currently on Orange but the last few months, the network hasnt been putting calls through to my phone (diverts are off in case anyone was thinking!). I know this because days later, once over 2 weeks later, I finally got answer phone messages delivered on the day going back to that time! (Hope that's clear!)
So, I want to jibb orange off and use a more reliable network.
I also think its time I got a smart 'ish' phone instead of the bog standard ones I usually have.
So, Im thinking of something like an HTC Desire HD but I gather its battery life is a bit tulip?
I also dont need anything stupid regarding tulip loads of minutes, text and gigabytes of data. Something that gives either 100 or 300 minutes and text and about 250mb of data.
I dont want a samsung phone as I dont like who they sponsor. It would have to be pay monthly as I dont want to pay 300 sheets up front for the phone. Other than that, any suggestions for network, tariff and phone?Tags: None
