Which is the best mobile tariff for me?

I have an unlocked K1 RAZR and would like PAYG.

I rarely send text messages, and mostly use the phone for talking and WAP use. So a tariff that has cheap data download charges and low call costs. I guess the data charge is the most important factor, with the text message charge the least.

Thanks

    what networks would you call most often?
    I ask as O2 have a favourite numbers tariff on PAYG which gives you 1000 units a month for up to 10 O2 numbers at only £5 a month.
    1 unit = 1 min talk time, or 1 text.

    Alternatively O2 unlimited gives you unlimited text and calls to any O2 numbers for only £15 a month top-up - details here including other non-o2 charges http://www.02.co.uk/mobilestariffs/tariffs/paygo/o2unlimited?cm_re=ConsumerArea-_-rightbox-_-O2Unlimited

    For moderate amounts of data, 3 is the cheapest at £1 per MB. For more use, some networks have daily weekly or monthly flat rates starting at 50p a day.

    This is not a complete list, and would need checking:

    3 - 50p day, £2.50 week, £5 month

    T-mobile - up to £1 a day max (?), £2.50 package for 5 days

    Vodafone - up to £1 a day for up to 15 MB, then £2/MB

    I think there's an Orange offer of maybe £1 a day, but I can't find it on their website at the moment

    I think 3 is tempting for the data rates, and the 12p a minute calls aren't too expensive either. Nowadays, you don't necessarily need a 3g phone to use a 3 payg SIM, as it will roam on Orange.
