Suggest a Tariff / Deal for my missus

Hi ppl

I will be looking for a new phone & tariff in two months time but my missus is out of contract now and is looking for a nice new phone (she likes the flip style ones) and a cheap but decent tariff.

She's currently on an old Vodafone one - £11.99 + billing (£13.99) a month and gets 600 off peak minutes to Vodafone & Landlines + 15 Cross Network mins (off peak).

Obviously we're looking for something cheaper but perhaps with the cross network option. She only uses about 200 / 250 minutes per month we reckon anyway and we have been looking in to the tariffs that "3" offer but are still a bit unsure which direction to go in.

Any suggestions to deals that might suit her?

Thanks  :D

    Three is an option and if the network signal is good in your area and she does not mind the slightly bigger handset it might be the way to go. Since you can get (with cashback) 500 minutes of anytime cross network calls for £4.99 per month with LG8120 for nearly 12 months if not 12 months. But the LG8120 is big (talking in girl sense here.) Now if she "like" samsung phones, than dialaphone has two good deals at the moment. Can get it on either O2 200 or Leisure all time. Where for the first 3 months you get 2000 minutes per month and than the next 9 months get 1000 minutes. But you get £90 cashback as well. Also you get 100 minutes of cross network calls (I think it is that much.) But all this is offpeak. You can than store some of the minutes and using a service like http://www.qxtelecom.co.uk/qxdial/ or http://www.pre-dial.com/ can make cross network calls. (if she only use it offpeak).

    Saying that through it might make it too complex. So probably the safer option is either get an 02 200 tariff if unsure of the network coverage in your area of three, or get three network with a huge cashback./
