Talk plan advice!

4th thread in a month here, crazy!

Ok, so I sorted out my billing issues with orange.
I want to stay with them.

I currently pay £20 a month (25 with insurance) to get: 100txt, 100mins, and 1000txts for after 7pm at night.

The options I've been given: for £25 a month,
EITHER 175 mins, 75 txts, 100 uklandline mins.
OR 150 anytime mins, 200 txts.

or for £30 a month:
EITHER 325 mins, 150 txts, 100 orangemins
OR 325 mins, 75 txts, 150 uklandline mins.

the other option is a student package which is £25 pm for 100 mins and 1000 txts.

or, I can continue my current offer which boils down to:

100txts, 100 mins, 1000 txts after 7pm after feb the 1000 txts might run out because some agent added them for me rather than them being an official part of the plan.
however the price would drop from £20 down to £18 because of a funny 10% offer thing.

Any suggestions as to whats best?
Or if people think I could do better by saying "well look, O2 have this etc" or?

Cheers

Look at your last 3 bills. See what you've spent on what.

Then make your decision.

Personally, unless you're cack-handed, I'd cancel the insurance. Its a big money maker for them, and if you break your phone just get onto Ebay and buy a suitable replacement. Then get your free upgrade whenever.

I had my phone insurance covered through my Endsleigh room insurance, was only about £20 extra (as opposed to £5 per month), tis v handy, also, as I live in "Studentland Manchester", and I'm forgetful, it's useful as I've lost one, and had one nicked.

As for the phone deals, dunno, I have a pay-as-you go Virgin Mobile

Tell them you are leaving because x network offerend you a better deal, tell them what the better deal was and watch them match it.

£20 quid a month. 100 mins, 1100 txts, both anytime, any network. Free E900 and bluetooth headset!

Good deal? Bad Bargain?

£20 quid a month. 100 mins, 1100 txts, both anytime, any network. Free E900 and bluetooth headset!

Good deal? Bad Bargain?

I pay £50 for 2000 mins 2000 texts a month so in comparison..

No.

IMO switch to 02 online they probably the best deals you're going to get at the moment.

Been with them for around 4 years now and the deals just destroy everything else on the market.

Its funny when someone rings me and says am i happy with my contract i tell them what i get and they sort of laugh on the phone before saying ''we can't match that sorry''.

It is an okay deal, you should be able to get more minutes out of them.

Aada's deal is good, but you'd have to be spending 50 quid a month! You never get great deals at the lower end, but if 100 minutes is enough for you then go for it.

I used to pay £19.75 pcm for 500 mins anytime xnet, 500 texts with 3.
I currently pay £21.90 pcm for 250 mins and 100 texts i think on O2.

That was via CPW

I'm on a loyalty tarrif with O2 cos I've been with them for so long. I get 500 anytime/anynetwork mins and 500 texts for 25 quid a month.
