Orange not playing ball-which deal should i choose?

damsidebear

these are the two deals i am pondering over after being with Orange from the year dot they are not budging on a deal!

1st. Due to employee benefits through my work i would receive £80 cashback if i take this offer:

Samsung Galaxy S II (3 Network)

•500 minutes (anytime, any network)
•5000 texts
•1GB internet
•Free PAYG SIM for a friend
•24 month contract

•£30 p/m

2nd. Due to employee benefits through my work i would receive £35 cashback if i take this offer:

Samsung Galaxy S II (O2 network)

•300 minutes
•unlimited texts
•500MB(o2)
•unlimited WI-FI(o2)
•24 month contract

•£27 p/m


Whats peoples thoughts?

well 200 mins out of bundle will certainley cost more than £3, the wifi may save you on data bundle, but once the novelty has gone then 500mb should be plenty for a month.

I'd take the o2 network over 3's anyday however have you checked how good the signals are where you will use it (ie home.work/ pub etc) No use getting a cheaper deal if you can't use the phone where you want to.

Not trying to teach you to suck eggs, but please tell me you didn't rely solely on any coverage charts and you have, in fact, tried out both network sims.
