I got a Siemens SL65 Voda Contract phone for my main one and a O2 (soon to be Voda) PAYG Siemens S55 that I keep as a back up phone in the car.

Well how much is a on-net call? You do get notification on incoming calls that they are diverted (on most phones)

TBH i'm not sure. the last time i had call diverting was on an old philips BT Cellnet phone when it was diverted to my house phone (5 years or so ago).

I suppose on my Nokia 6230 it should tell me which were diverted and which were direct.
I get free minutes on my work phone to other o2 phones anyway which i rarely use so i probably wouldn't notice any difference. I may try it when i start working again in the New year

On 3 the divert comes out of inclusive minutes, and I never even get close to using them all .

All of our mobiles at work divert to out landline anyway, and they use some system where you just dial 000 to get to the office switchboard, so I think that they are on really cheap rates.

The nicest feature I have seen is that if I dial someones normal (ie office) extension number (eg 1234) from my mobile, it automatically dials their mobile.

I have a Motorola V525 on Vodafone which I use most of the time. I also keep my old Nokia 3330 in the car which at the moment has less than £2 credit on it from Orange.
The main reason for keeping my old phone in the car is that on very rare occasions I have forgotten to take my current phone out with me and it is good to have phone in the car just in case I break down in a remote location late at night.
What a pity that there is often no signal in remote locations!

I have a Nokia 3310 on T-Mobile and a NEC E616V on 3Pay

I have 2 fones, a Motorola A1000 on the 3G network and a Nokia 7650 on Orange PAYG, the Nokia is my hunny Hotline! and the Motorola is for friends and family.

I have 2, a Nokia 6210 for work, which is only turned on whilst I'm at (or supposed to be) work, and a Nokia 6310 for personal use. I could do to upgrade my personal phone to something a bit newer, but it has the advantage of fitting the carkit for the works phone. I drive a lot with my job, so a useful feature.

Glad to hear you dont use it in hand, like many people do!

i have a samsung phone dont know the make but its a slidy on on vodafone for work and have a nec616 on 3pay for personal
not that loads of people ring me on my personal one billy no mates me

I use to, then i realised how silly it was when Orange offered Line 2. Now 2 tarrifs, 2 numbers, 1 phone

has anyone ever told you you can put 2 sim cards in 1 phone! just google for one like me and you will find one for example dual sim card

sell your phone, keep you work phone, no-one will every know.

Dual sims holders are a pain, been down that road. Only one can be enabled at any time. If you need seperate 2 phone numbers, eg work and personal, you have to keep toggling between the 2.

Do you have to cut out the sim card bit like on ebay? i would probably buy one if i can just insert them both in as they are and not cut the card.

Some you have to cut the card, some you dont.

Depends on the phone

I think i'll stick with just T-Mobile then in my phone as i was going to get a Virgin sim card and use that + my T-Mobile sim.

one phone always (o2 x3 / BenQ S700), but have got lots laying around the house in odd places...

Orange SIM stopped being recognised in the Nokia 5.1 / 2110
Virgin Mobile on a Siemens A50 (which strangely people keep thinking is an escort service - so we're binning that one)
Never touched Voda with a bargepole

i have a nokia 3220 on virgin this is used for pleasure as it is the cheapest network i can find on p.a.y.g.

i also have a sony ericsson t60, on the same network
for work only

i have beeen on every network on pay as you go.
on t mobile i put in my phone £ 50 in one month.

on orange £45 .
voderfone around the same.....
net work 3 are crap phones,@ £15 per time on airtime

i make the same calls , same no of text messages on virgin
and it costs me around £25 per month max

I know Virgin are much cheaper than any other UK network for PAYG except Three but if you want high quality service go to virgin.

i will be glad when all payg tariffs will be reduced. as i heard that there will be a new provider soon. arriving from holland were every one pays the same low tariff rate....

and this will force ours down in price,,, or loose customers fast...

Will that be easyMobile?

You have to carry a GSM phone if you have a 3 mobile! 3 are just so unrelaible I have their thing to make X/Net calls (when it can) and GSM for all incoming calls.

Depends on where in the country you are perhaps but in Central Scotland 3 is dead loss really.

yes i think it is... any news when they are arriving....

I have one phone and 2 uk sims in the car for when i go to ni

I have 2 phones, 1 T-Mobile and one Movistar (Spanish). My parents live in Spain so I use my Spanish mobile a lot when I go over there, it was originally PAYG. The bonus is that they've now changed it so it's billed on their account (which doesn't seem to have any monthly charge for extra sim cards, only calls), which means if they call me in the UK (or if I call them, or anyone else) on it I don't pay anything for the call. Which is why I carry it around!
