    Co-op is a very good deal if you are prepared to spend a minimum £2 for nothing, Vectone on the other hand seems a better deal for light users ! Are you sure Vectone does not work out cheaper for you Stuart ??

    Vectone are Voda reseller, Co-op are 3 (or was).

    Vectone would certainly work out cheaper for most light users - I do tend to make very short calls (guess I'm old fashioned preferring speaking to texting!) and short calls use up 1 minute of allowance with Vectone. I prefer a 7p/min run on rate to 15p/min, but overall reliability is more important, and I've have friends with bad experiences with Vectone (billing errors on PAYM, credit disappearing on PAYG) so have just chosen to avoid. My bills would probably be very similar, perhaps £10/year or so cheaper with Vectone, but I'd rather stick with Co-op.

    As a non-smartphone user, I've become too accustomed to a battery that lasts for 4 weeks so won't be getting one any time soon, but I do quite like the Phone Co-op feature of retrieving voicemail via their website. Don't think this would be possibly with Vectone.

    Don't think there is a difference between Co-op and Vectone on signal. Co-op is an Orange based MVNO (used to be 3) and Vectone is a T-mobile based MVNO (used to be Vodafone) - so they are both EE MVNOs now with identical coverage. EE have over 20 MVNOs now I think.
