Best deal for the wife

My missus has been on payg for years,and I'm thinking of putting her on contract.

The reasons being are:

1) She forgets to top up her phone,and has no credit,so I have to ring her to speak to her when we aren't together.
2) She uses my phone to ring our eldest daughter,who's 15,to speak to her about things,including picking her up at night from friends,thereby using my free monthly minutes allowance.

She is on Vodafone,whereas I'm on 3.

So what I'm maybe thinking is a 12 month contract,with say,maybe about 350 minutes,and although not really essential as she tends not to use them,a small amount of texts.

So come on then guys,who do you think would offer the best deal to suit the wife?

    Hi Seaniboy,

    Did your mate get a retention deal even though they were on Voda PAYG? If so, can you let me know what they got.

    Thanks

    Putting her? The wife? It's her decision what she's on surely? I'm sure she's capable of making her own decisions!

    Does her phone use warrant a contract? i.e does she top up at least 20 quid a month? Cos IMO you'd need to use about that on PAYG to make moving to a contract worthwhile. So you have to call her, what's the biggie? so, she uses your phone to call your daughter, does that really matter? (i mean, surely her using a few of your mins is cheaper than paying £20 a month for a contract she might hardly use) if she spends enough a month to warrant a contract then see what she says, if not then why not leave it as it is... or get an o2 payg sim card - you get some free mins wi them.
