    Pay As You Go - o2 or Tmobile?

    Well vodafone have just recently changed their free weekends deal which is in effect from 1st april, and I have recently forgottern to topup £15 and seem to have lost a limited promotional allowance of 500 texts per month consectuively topped up by £15 or more :/

    So now, vodafone offer very little in the way of keeping me with them so Im thinking of jumping ship.
    I have two sealed sims in front of me, one o2 and one tmobile.

    I am slightly more swayed towards the o2 one due to the 300 free texts per month by topping up just £10, however the call charges are more on 02 to other nets than with tmobile's everyone plan. plus, since i ordered the tmobile sim online my sim is entitled to 3000 free evening and weekend texts a month.

    What im trying to work out now is what network is better, and whether to sacrifice credit in terms of potentially used call time on o2, than what i'd save on tmobile and lose in daytime texts.
    Its swings and roundabouts i guess, dont suppose there's any inclusive minutes bundled with o2 that ive misread about perchance?
    I hear about this "treats" scheme, anyone know if that can lend some reduced or free talktime?

    any advice appreciated

    I would go with o2. The covorage on T-mobile is not great also O2 rewards is quite nice (10% back of what you top up you have to wait for 3 months though to get it)

    and The free text messages is also good and the call rate goes down after 3 minuites of calls in one day I think

    O2 Online Pay As You Go seems to be the best deal to me.

    They give the SIM cards away for free quite frequently.

    Currently with t-mobile. Main reason I went with them was for the way they charge data (£1 max a day), also have some form of free texts (evening and weekend) but need to look in ot that a bit.

    id go with orange, u can get a sim free of the net....sumwhere....

    and for a £10 top up, you can get 300 ANYTIME texts, 1meg of wap, money back on your topups, and either..
    3 magic numbers (talk for upto an hour for 15p, orange only)
    or
    600 free orange2orange evning minutes!


    i have 600 mins and a 3000evening and weekend offer with them (3000txt nolonger avail for people who dont already have it) and to be honest with you, unless u text alot, and have long text conversations, u dont need that many!, and would prefere to have anytime minutes.

    either way, orange gives you texts and moree!! o2 only give you texts
