Finally leaving "3" so advice please....
Posted this same message over on hotukdeals but reposting it here in the hope of maybe getting some additional useful advice/guidance.
Finally managed to buy out the remaining couple of months of my dire 3 contract (been with them since 2006) but the deals they've been offering me are, to put it politely, pathetic.
I am now deciding which new contract to take out and am thinking about sim only deals.
The best offers seem to be on the 12 month sim only cashback deals from o2/Vodafone.
Both work out about £10 p.c.m after cashback (although the Vodafone one seems to offer more bang for your buck) but from what i've read on these message boards, neither seem "guaranteed" (i.e. people are having problems with both mobile providers and both cashback providers).
Can anyone perhaps shed some light as to what is the safest cashback route for me to take please?
Also, I may have missed out a couple of glaringly obvious good deals so any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

MY contact end in Novemebr and so looking forward to giving them my notice.
I have a iphone on O2 and the service is great my phone never cuts out unlike three.0 -
How are you finding the 3G coverage on o2?
It's just I also have an iPhone and surf the web quite a bit so I would like a provider with reliable, fast 3G speeds.

My 3G coverage is good and fast there have been no problems with it. The customer service on 02 is also good much better than three.0
