What you looking to pay? mins texts extras ext?

I'm on orange atm with the Xperia X10i. get 1200 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited internet (no fair usage) free emails and sat nav. £35 a month and I play £6 for phone insurance. No problems with coverage for me.

I also believe O2 are very good

I have found that in Blackburn O2 and Vodafone have excellent network coverage.

Alan, what kind deal are you looking for in terms of minutes/texts and will you be wanting a 3G data package?

[Alan75]

Looking for bluetooth, 3G with reasonable reception North Lancs / Lake District ( I know there are definite black spots with my current orange phone in the area) - are other services better for that area.

02 usually has the best in most areas.
