Please recommend me a contract

Hi guys, my contract is up with O2 and they aren't offering much to upgrade, so looking for a good deal.

I want a Nokia 5800 with at least 200 texts, 200 minutes per month and unlimited internet.

The best I've seen is £22 p/m for 250 minutes, unlimited texts and internet on an 18 month contract from virgin mobile. Is there anything better around without using cashback?

Also what's virgin like?

Thanks

    Phones4u are doing it for £20 a month 400 mins, 3000 texts on Orange - 18 monther - no charge for phone.
    Or £15 a month but with 100 mins, 3000 texts but phone costs £30.
  • Thanks, does that include unlimited internet?

    Are Orange better than Virgin for customer service?

    Sorry not internet - forgot.
    But if you were going for the £15 a month deal, internet should cost a fiver a month as an addon - still cheaper than virgin deal be it with fewer mins.

    Never used virgin myself - but I think they use another carrier network (orange or t-mobile probably not sure).

    Vodafone doing 100 mins, 500 texts for £15 a month for 24 months - you have to pay £5 on top per month for internet.
  • Cheers, but I don't think 100 minutes is enough.

    I have just looked at virgin web site - it says £18 a month for 150 mins, 500 texts plus unlimited data. This looks to be the comes with music version of the 5800.
