Orange vs O2 SIM only deals
Dark 1
27-02-2010
I've got an iPhone on O2 PAYG. I've been looking at transferring to a SIM only plan. O2's 'Simplicity' plans look pretty good: 300 mins, unlimited texts and unlimited internet for £15. That's ideal for me.

http://shop.o2.co.uk/tariffs/sim-only-iphone/12_months

However, virtually no coverage and zero 3G coverage at my house means I've been looking at what Orange have to offer. Sadly though, their tariffs look rather crap by comparison.

Orange's £15 'Dolphin' SIM only deal also offers 300 mins and unlimited texts, but no internet. Seems it's not even an option on anything less than a £30 pm deal.

So question: Is it worth contacting Orange to see if they'll price-match O2 to include internet on their lower-end SIM only plans?

Wasit a few weeks Orange is due to be reviewing all price plans and comparing them against market competition. NEw price plans should launch around April I think.

Hope so. Ideally I'll want to know what I'm doing by June when my free data bolt-on runs out.

Cheers!

What about 3?

£12 / month sim only gives you:

unlimited texts
300 minutes
unlimited 3 to 3 calls

unlimited internet can be added for £5 / month

total £17

http://threestore.three.co.uk/sim/

in fact I've noticed on the same page "To get a SIM contract with 300 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited 3-to-3 calls and unlimited internet for just £15 a month call 0800 358 4425."
