Which UK carrier and which 3G Tariff?


Recommended Posts

My C500 contract has already come to an end. So far I've resisted getting the JasJar simfree, as I'd prefer to take out a new contract and take a branded device complete with all the correct Operator settings.

Partial weight in my decision is (of course) who will release first. Possibly O2 with T Mobile just behind. No idea about Orange yet, and unless Voda are well priced, I'm not considering them yet...

I do like the grey O2 XDA Exec versus the silver MDA Pro :o

But which carriers are going to be offering the best monthly deal for someone who:

1) sends 500+ texts

2) 20+ MMS

3) 200ish voice minutes

4) god-knows how much GPRS / 3G if the network is as good as it should be...

I know T Mobile will be offering a Web & Walk offering, and maybe a good data bundle - but Orange are usually very miserly (except from the unlimited GPRS with the first SPV!)

Any ideas? Any pointers?

Orange are doing a 1GB/month for free for 3 months for new 3G tariffs at the moment.

I have both an Orange 3G and a Vodafone 3G account. Vodafone is more expensive (£30/month for 250mins + 250 texts or £25 of data) but has by far the best signal coverage for high speed data.

Vodafone are the by far the cheapest if you go for a business 3G tariff.

V = £45 1000MB

O = £75 1000MB

TM = £77 1000MB

I have JasJar and i am on O2 Max tarrif with carphone warehouse. Yesterday I went instore and bought a 3g sim card keeping my number and everything for 9.99 I am waiting for it to be delivered.

I am not sure what I can do with 3g on this phone. does anyone have it working on the jasjar yet, if so could you give me a brief rundown of what it means to me as a user to be 3g enabled.

also does anyone knw what its likely to cost with O2's 3 service

Cheers

I have it on mine.

Basically 3G is a very fast GPRS. That's it. You can download content faster.
