Depends what you are looking for really, after my brief spell with Vodafone PAYG (and paying 10p minimum call charge and 12p for texts) I decided I liked Virgin the best. Texting Virgin to Virgin is only 3p, they do some decent bundles that roll over from one month to the next and out of my bundel the tariff isn't too bad either. Customer service seems to be quite good again as well, which is always a plus.
Saying that, Vodafone's reception is a bit better round where I am. |

Well I had Virgin before and I thought they were ok but I moved to easyMobile then T-Mobile, I would like about 200 minutes and 200 texts and about 200+ texts a month.

Why not get an O2 online Sim Only offer, they are only 30 day contracts, an Online 100 contract will get you 200 any time any network and 1000 texts for £25.00. You would be hard pushed to get that on any bundle packages on pay as you go.

.....for a MEDIUM/HIGH USER!
As you said BESIDES o2, I'd have to be predictable and say that the £25 voucher on three for 500 anytime cross-network minutes is still a good deal.
Mind you, the only Threepay handset I'd think about recommending is the Motorola E1000. Check to see if your local Superdrug Three point has a refurbished model for £109.99. Three nearly killed Threepay with the dirge of NEC crap and other budget dogs. Here's hoping the new handsets coming for Christmas will be better. Steven, I know this doesn't really match your plans, but have you tried getting a contract? |

Nah keep away from 3, they smell of piss and don't work properly.
Vodafone - 200texts for £10 // 500texts for £15 // 100mins for £15 // 200 mins for £25 Plus you get to browse Vodafone Live! for free (which isnt too bad) and stop the clock for off-peak calls I know they're only 30day packs, but the network itself kicks o2's ass into next century |

Agreed about 3 - best avoided.
What about the Vodafone deal? If you go with Smart Step you can get Stop The Clock which gets you calls up to 60 mins for the price of a 3 minute call. Great value if you use your phone off-peak and at weekends. |

The o2 deal isnt that bad
The network seems ok round here, probably coz no uses it lol.It has improved since 03 when I left disgusted with the service. The calls are reasonable,but pay&go isn't a patch on contract so my stay with o2 will not be long. Why don't you save up for a contract? Then give your parents the line rental money? 3 are fine until you need,and you are stuck because the indian are no use at all! |

I used to have T-Mobile but the phone was awful. I now have Orange and like them for Orange Wednesdays.

After moving from Vodafone to O2 Online PAYG I've had no problems with their network so far, an improvement from a while back when their MMS was a problem.
