    Yes, I have eight mobiles direct through o2 (have tried orange and T-Mobile before, and o2 are by far the best of these three).

    You haven't given us any details whatsoever about what you need so its difficult to recommend anything in particular to you.

    I would personally just use the o2 website business shop and do it from there. If you expect most of your calls to be between the three mobiles, go for the best for business unlimited tariff. Else the standard best for business tariff would be better. This allows you to share the allowance of minutes between the three handsets and works out much cheaper. I have tried calling them before a couple of times but to be honest they aren't very helpful (they refused to budge on any price other than what was on their website).

    Definately choose a 12 month contract. Do NOT take take a 24 month contract.

    As far as handset choice goes, I'd personally stick with something basic like a 6230i but its entirely personal preference.

    ok....the three phones will be used for mainly o2 to 02, with one of the ones being used extensively more than the other two. mainly used for phone calls , not really fussed on texts. is there such a thing as 3 phones but sharing so many minutes between the three phones ie if one phone dosnt use the full amount of calls can it be tranferred to the high user ? hope this makes sense.

    Yes its possible for 3 phones to share a pool of minutes.

    I answered that in my original post if you actually took the time to read it...
