Please somebody help!

I need a new mobile phone deal. My current contract with O2 is far too expensive and has just come to an end so I'm trying to find something cheap. I do need a new phone as my old one is nackered and would prefer to have a camera. I am not really bothered about whether I have PAYG or contract, but where I live has got poor signal with most networks (except O2). Is there any way of checking the signal for different networks from home? There must be a website out there where you can put your postcode in to check.
I have been trying to find a good deal for a few weeks now I and I just feel baffled by all the options (cashback, 1/2 line rental for 9months etc.) :confused: !
I'm sure there's a moneysaver out there somewhere who can help...

    I i highly reccomend you to take a look at the o2 retention topic, you can get a new free phone and 200 xnet minutes and 500 text for £15 easy but if you push it you may beable to get more!! start by phoning the retention departement and say you want to cancel you contract and want you PAC code, they will ask you why and say you have seen a better deal elsewhere say three, they will ask you how much and what phone they offered and they are likly to match it if not, say you think about it and ring back again.
  • Rather than using a postcode checker, if your phone is unlocked to another network, or you hav access to one that is, you could always try and getting a couple of free pay as you go sims,from T-mobile or Orange to see what the coverage is like in your area.
