mobile and mobile broadband

sundries

I've been thinking of getting rid of my landline and wireless as I spend a lot of time away from home so mostly use my mobile and my dongle.

Can anyone recommend the cheapest deals for the longest minutes/unlimited access? (and without huge charges for 0845/0800 or other mobile networks)

I'm currently on the orange racoon tariff which gives me 225mins and 50 txts a month (they dont rollover). I also have an orange dongle.
I do get 3 'magic numbers' on my orange phone but since most people i know arent on orange they arent much use.

Help?

is it ever a good idea to get rid of a landline completely?

People who say they're self employed can get an unlimited usage dongle on a 2yr deal at Orange shops for £15 + vat.

Do not buy T-Mobile Mobile Boradband whatever you do.

My Review of T-Mobile Mobile Broadband

- The speed is extremely slow. The advertised speed was 1Mbps but the fatest I reached was 0.1Mbps (100Kbps) and the average was speed was 0.01Mbps (10Kbps). Regardless of location. It took a matter of minutes to load a page. A T-Mobile rep. told me he had seldom heard of anyone going above 0.2Mbps (200Kbps)

- Carphone Warehouse advised me I would have good coverage at my address. They will not tell you that no coverage is guarenteed at any location.

- T-Mobile will not terminate your contract if the device stops working completely.

- T-Mobile will take months doing tests on the device and even when they cannot diagnose or repair the problem they will continue to charge you for the service.

-T-Mobile will never call you back when they promise. They will pass you from one person to another withought explaining your circumstances. They do not care whether you recive a satisfactory service or not and only care that you pay the bill.

- In my experience, T-Mobile representatives are trained to use delay tactics to make frustrate you into submission where they cannot resolve your problem.

- If you stop paying for the Broadband after it has stopped working and you also have a T-Mobile phone they will disconnect your phone, regardless of whether you have paid the phone account. They will continue to charge you for your phone and broadband whilst it is disconnected. They will then refer to baliffs

You can use this service to make 0800/0808 freephone calls from your inclusive geographical minutes.
