Moving from PAYG to contract HELP !!!

I am currently with Orange 3G PAYG (using an unlocked Orange SPV M5000 handset), and the signal reception in my village is dire, so I checked with orange about call forwarding to a landline so I don't miss mobile calls while at home and they only offer that service on a Contract (what a surprise!).

Does any other provider offer a 3G PAYG sim with call forwarding ?

If not then I would like to sign up for a 12 month contract with 1-200 minutes(landline, cross network), 50-100 texts and 50-100 3G minutes for between £20-25 per month. I spoke to orange and they offered me a 12 month contract for £25 which had 200 minutes and texts but no free 3G minutes even though they give you a free 3G phone with the contract ???

Can anyone tell me who offers a good 3G deal (I would need to take my existing number with me) Is there a Service broker anywhere or can someone like the carphone warehouse offer independant advise on the best deal. And I thought mortgages were difficult to understand the mobile phone contract market is a nightmare (maybe I should buy a pigeon ;-)

Any help much appreciated.

Regards,

Paul Mac
