Now look, this is getting silly :-(

I have tried all the comparison sites and also a few of the manufacturers but all I get is 'you really DO want these features, even if you think you don't'.

Now, I know they are all out to make bucks, which is fair enough, but all I want is what I want so can anyone point me in a good direction?

My wife and I both have a 'pay as you go' from Orange, using the dated but very good Nokia 6230. Between us we only use about £30 a month in calls and texts.

I am wondering if there is a deal on any network that would save us the bother (which it is sometimes) of topping up.

We could keep the 6230's or sell them on and get a package with two phones ... or get one new phone and use one of the 6230's.

Main gripe: I go to (for example only) Orange, complete thier 'lets find you a package thingy' and all I get offered is oodles of Internet time (don't need it), 'magic numbers', cash backs etc etc etc. Can nobody give me a simple answer such as ......... 300 minutes a month and so-and-so numbers of text.

Oh, I know that you know what I mean but why can't they?? Maybe I am just not spending enough and so they don't (sniff) want me :-( ??

    3 have £15 tariffs. for £30 a month you each get a new phone and either

    250 mins and 50 texts or
    75 mins and 600 texts per month

    check out deals 1-3

    If you use quido you can get cash back and you can also get £30 credit if you get a friend who is already on 3 to recommend you
