pay monthly phones

hi,
ive always been one to have PAYG phones, but im finding more and more these days i would benefit from a pay monthly phone, so as someone new to the whole market... i would like to know where i would be best to look?

i have looked at quite a few sites and some deals seem pretty good,
i think i would be happy with paying around £25 a month and getting a fair amount of texts and minutes, but the amount of deals around which claim to give you this and more is so confusing!

anyone willing to help me out? know of any good deals atm etc?

thanks...

    What is your definition of a "Fair amount of texts"?

    Do you need a new handset?

    What network is best for you?


    As an example,
    If you are happy to pay £25 per month, you may as well get one that pays all the money back through cashback, if you mess up your claim, you haven't 'lost' anything.

    You could get a Sony Ericson K800i on Virgin for £25 per month, this gives 150 mins and 150 texts.

    or a Samsung E250 on T-mobile for the same price., this is on their 'Flext 25' tariff which is flexible i.e can be 100 mins and 200 texts.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.

    thanks for your help

    ive had a good look around... and theres literally thousands of deals isnt there? its crazy...

    i quite like the idea of this o2 deal... with just the sim card... cos im already on o2 for my payg... so £15 for 200 minutes and 400 texts sounds like a decent deal yeah? plus i can cancel whenever i want if need be....

    is there any other similar/better offers than you know of?

    thanks again! :D
