I've been with Vodafone for 12 months, before that I was with Orange. I've chopped and changed handsets, but I've always stuck with Pay As You Go. I've never thought that the Vodafone service was anything special, Orange even less so - then I totted up how much I've spent over the past seven months and was staggered when it came in at an average of £50 per month. This is way more than I thought and it's spurred me into taking action.
Firstly, ditch Vodafone.
Secondly, PAYG is fine - but not if you need to make any volume of calls, especially during peak hours. With buying a house and planning a wedding, I'm using my phone quite a lot and it's costing me big time. One day, £10 of calling credit was gone in one call.
I am also fed up of my current handset - It's yet another Nokia that hasn't lived up to my expectations.
So I've swapped to the simplicity tariff on O2 - it's a rolling 30 day contract so nothing too scary for an ex-PAYG devotee like myself and I've got tons of free minutes and texts for the bargain price of £25 a month. I opted for the 600 free minutes and 1,000 texts package, and then bolted on another 200 anytime minutes for free. O2 have such a great reputation for good customer service and decent network coverage, and although I love a good price I also want a great service to back it up.
I've also bought myself the LGKF600 Venus and I have to say I am loving it. Whenever I've strayed from Nokia I've always regretted it and returned with my tail between my legs - hopefully not this time. Life sure is good with LG.
