PAYG phones work well if you don't use them most of the time and then talk for five hours at a go.

Also, I don't own a radio. Does internet radio and music count as internet, radio or music?

DG, you know full well that I have told you, on more than one occasion, exactly what to do and how to do it to save yourself a couple of hundred pounds a year on your mobile phone bill, while retaining your current number, service provider and contract. Nothing will change, except the amount you pay. You're just being naughty trying to wind me up

It's one call to Orange Customer Services. It's the Orange EQ Virgin Service Plan you need to move on to. I believe the number you require is 152...

And, for anyone else interested, my original full Value Witch article on that subject is here. Although it was 8 months ago now, I am still confident that it would be hard to better that deal for low and medium usage.

I've been sitting on some info about what bad value PAYG tarrifs are, meaning to put up a post when I have the time. I might get round to it later.

It's the cross-network thing that killed Orange for me. Vodaphone costs a bit more, but the rates are for all networks.

Chz - yes, I nearly put, "unless you make a lot of cross-network calls".

Inspector Sands - have you actually done the sums for the actual calls you make? Mind you, 50 minutes per day sounds like high usage to me, so it may not work for you.

As ever, it's DYOR (do your own research).

I have 2 cell phones, and use each one for between 1500 and 2000 minutes per month. That is simply because I drive 40k miles per year and out of necessity try to do a lot of work and personal life communication whilst sitting behind the wheel.

I don't know what my work bill is like, but my personal phone is between £70 and £110 per month.

I have tried all the networks, and IMHO, O2 has by far and away the best combination of network coverage and stability, cost, and customer service. FYI, I think that Virgin were the worst, followed by T-Mobile, then Orange (though their customer service was far and away the best), then Vodafone below O2. Maybe for lower levels of use, this would be different.

Sixth medium? Thats a new one on me, but if my efforts in the media pay off you will soon be hearing about the Mobile Phone as being the fourth screen (Cinema, TV, PC, Mobile) Remember you heard it here first.
