Hi All

I have a unlocked N96 and currently with vodafone on a basic £10 a month calls package only.

I want a packag that includes the web as this is one thing that I could well do with as its the one thing I will use alot of. I dont make alot of calls, a few texts - as I have a company phone.

I am considering the 3 PAYG sim deal that includes Skype, and some internet browsing.

Is there any better deals. I dont mind paying a monthly amount, just dont want to pay a huge amount.

Cheers

Scott

    I actually thought of that, only problem I kinda want to keep my number as had it for like 10 years. Unless there is a way to transfer your own number to them?

    if you don't mind a contract for 18 months

    £15 per month with 3

    Free E63 (sells for about £130 on ebay)
    75 mins
    Unlimited texts, 3 to 3 calls, email, internet, skype, msn

    so £270 for the contract less about £130 for selling the phone

    works out equilvalent of £7.77 per month

    Im in the process of signing up for Virgins Liberty Sim £10.
    Its a monthly rolling contract, and for £10 its 200 min and 200 texts.
    If you want web access, thats 30p for any day that you use it.

    Im keeping my number as well, what you need to do is get a PAC code from your current provider and then give it to your new provider.

    Should be careful though as using an iphone simcard in a another phone is not allowed. Although many people are doing this. I suspect if you don't go crazy with usage you will be fine.
