right, after years on end of being on top up, i want to switch to monthly contract. now i want to keep my handset and my number and have seen a few deals but i dont really understand some of the jibber jabber, i.e. useage rates (outside of inclusive minutes). what does that mean?
i dont want to sign a contract and end up with a ginormous bill. i want a anytime any network with maybe 300 (or less) minutes but i'm worried there might be a hidden meaning to these 'deals'.

out side of Inclusive minutes, means when you go over what is included with your contract. (for example, if you had 300mins contract then each min over 300 is outside of your inclusive mins). When you do go over the call costs can be quite high, espicaly if calling a different network.

Most deals are for any network at any time, you say you want to keep your phone and number, in that case you will want a 'sim only' contract, these are cheeper/more texts, mins then contracts with a 'free phone'.

Tesco Sim only deals are one month contracts. £10 for 250 mins.
The Giffgaff Labs Goodybag is far better if you vary wildly.

All depends if you want data too.
