Does any mobile network give good deals on multiple numbers?

My 2 sons and I currently have Orange PAYG handsets.

I am trying to find out if any mobile network will offer us a contract which will link the 3 phone numbers and let us each have a share of the free minutes and texts - we each have handsets which are under 12 months old so are not interested in new handsets at this time.

For example O2 offer Simplicity Online 10 for £9.79 which in theory would allow us to each have 100 texts and 50 minutes per month.

Are there any mobile networks which would allow us to share in texts and minutes each month? I can't seem to find anything.

I have emailed both Orange and O2 but have not had any response yet.

I am looking at spending approximately £10 per month as we are low users and probably only top-up every 3 months and therefore currently only get free texts every 3 months.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

    Are you only interested in trying to share minutes or are you more interested in cheap calls between the 3 phones?

    Probably mostly interested in sharing minutes and texts although for now most calls and texts would be within these 3 numbers - as the boys are getting older they'll be wanting to phone and text their mates though.

    What I would really like is some kind of account whereby I can pay say £10 per month and we all get some minutes and texts included.

    you need a business account rather than a consumer account, where you can share minutes etc.
