Having braved the rather daunting process of finding a new phone tariff (daunting to me, straightforward IRL thanks to MSE), I checked network coverage, got a PAC code and am trying to sign up to the one that came top of the recommendations.
For some reason it firstly pops a notice up to say they are sorry, they can't add this to my existing usage. I thought the idea was I buy into it and they do the swapping? This was before I got to the bit where personal details go in. It allowed me to put my name and email, then I keep getting 'network error' messages (network seems fine) and it won't allow me to complete the form.
I think I will try again later, which is a tad annoying now I've got the bit between my teeth. I've also worked out that in the past year I've spent £206.05 on what was originally a less than £7 a month deal. The new one, if I can get it, will be £34.08 including the maximum data I've used at any point in the past year.

Phew - looks as though I finally got there after two or three servers taking too long to respond and stuff like that. I expect the deal is popular but it was worth the hassle to save about £160 a year.
Next target is the Twink1 account but I'm going to have another trawl for resources first. They have been very handy! There's no reason to keep it up over the summer and I can start again should I need to.
