Hey guys :wave:
My mobile contract is up for renewal again.........last year I got the N70 on Orange........as some of you have pointed out, it's a nice phone, but ***not*** on Orange :mad: :rolleyes:
I'm getting fairly ticked off with Orange - the big draw to stay with them was their "off peak 1000" deal, as I was in a LDR, and so needed lots of minutes, and it didn't matter if they were in the evenings / weekends.
I've now moved in with my bf, and so my usage has changed - the main time I use it is between 6-7PM, so while my overall usage has dropped, it's daytime mins, data usage (internet), with international calls thrown in (I do a fair amount of travelling for work - the vast majority being to the US).
Now Orange have always had :mad: CS, but it's got worse, even by their low standards recently........and as I don't need this special contract, I'd be happy to move! :T
Regarding handsets, it's probably between Nokia and SE - nothing Nokia has bought out recently really rings my bell though - I like the look / sound of:
SE K800i
SE W900i (better than the N-91?! )
So, questions........
Is there a better network than Orange?
Are '3' any good?
What network/s are good for
(a) data charges
(b) international calling
(c) cross network minutes
(d) 'anytime' / daytime minutes
I don't really need that many minutes - 200 / month would probably do me...... :A
Sorry for the epic post - I've been trawling comparison sites for days / weeks, and my eyes are beginning to bleed...........
TIA! :beer:

I personally would never touch 3 again with a barge pole !! All I ever hear is bad things about them , poor reception , sim locked to mobile phone(costs a fortune if you lose phone), poor custome service.0
