Ok here's a little tip of the day,

Change networks to Vodafone, they are the best for reception, get a PAYG
sim card and then activate Stop the clock, callling abroad, and friends
and family.

What you get is, speak for 1 hour and only pay for 3 mins all weeked and
evenings, also if you spend over 5 quid a week you get free calls and
texts all weekend, then activate your 5 best numbers, this costs 5 quid a
month but you can call those 5 numbers (on vodafone) for free 24hrs a day
7 days a week, plus you get cheap calls abroad. I have saved a small
fortune doing this.

But I still have my contract rolling at £15.00 a month to get my "free"
phone every 12 months

In total I spend £25.00 a month but i call well over 2k mins a month as I
am away from the missus all week and only home on weekends.

The same package would cost me over £50
Tell me more. I'm currently paying Voda 25 quid a month in return for 200
minutes, Stop the clock, 200 texts and it looks like free GPRS, which is
nice, as it means I can always read the Telegraph on the shitter. Obviously
there's the advantage of a free phone every 18 months, but TBH, I don't want
a free phone - I've got a K750i, which is plenty fucked up enough for me
thanks, and I'd happily go back to something like a 6510 if it had Opera and
GPRS. Anyway, the free phone can be flogged for a good £200 upwards, which
obviously must equate to somewhere around £10 - £15 a month.

£5 a week gets you free calls and texts at the weekend - that's £20 a month
for a start?

And why not? One doesn't have to be an arch Tory to read it, it has better
news coverage than the majority of other papers and it also has the
advantage of not being owned by the Dirty Digger. The Times is no better
than The Sun nowadays.

I pay Voda £27 a month for 200 minutes and 500 texts :-) The GPRS time
comes off you free texts, 1 text = so many Kb.

I see - I use all of a text a day. Just rang em and badgered em - keep the
same handset and plan, 12 month contract, 9 months half price, and a free SE
Bluetooth headset, so I can look a twat but evade arrest. Quite pleased with
that.

Whilst we're on the subject, does anyone know of a decent PAYG deal? I've
got a rubber phone I use for outdoors stuff and I'd like to not have to
bother swapping SIMs.

The not being arrested bit or looking like you're part of the Borg
collective?

For what it's worth I don't see myself when I wear my headset, so I can live
with it...

Not getting nicked. OTOH it's very unlikely if you only phone people around
shift changes...

Any of them. Not going to be used for much text, just odd calls home etc.

I suppose, or if you leave the handset off.

Any of them. Not going to be used for much text, just odd calls home etc.

For odd calls, something where the voucher never expires perhaps? I use
Virgin Mobile. I've also discovered that their international calling
charges are reasonable too.

What's coverage like? If I'm using the rubber phone, it's possible that I'll
be making the call in the middle of nowhere.

Just ring Voda and get them to send you a second sim for your contract -
although now I'm actually think about it I'm not 100% certain they do this
anymore...

I really should get some kind of proper handsfree in the car now. Phone has
loudspeaker function that works quite well, so really just an actual holder
for the phone would do I reckon...
