I think O2 is having a bit of a go-slow this evening! A mate texted me at 20.25 this evening, and I actually got the text at 23.00! Normally, texts sent/recieved are almost instantaneous.
I switched from O2 to Orange mainly because their signal is better where I live, but I would otherwise have stayed with Orange - they're similar pricewise - but calls/texts are a lot cheaper with Orange (you have to subscribe to O2's ITS service to get anywhere near Orange's roaming prices), customer services were always excellent, and you could get delivery reports on text messages without having to put that '*0#' at the start of the message!!
If Orange's signal was better where I live, I would probably switch back to them as soon as my contract came up. In fact, my old Orange contract number I got re-connected as a pay as you go to use in a spare phone!
Ergo, I recommend Orange to you, cheap(ish) but definitely cheerful. Failing that - have you thought about the 3 network? £15 topup on 3Pay gets you either 100 x-net minutes & 1.50 of video content, or 25 mins xnet mins & 100 SMS's, and £1.50 video content.

In terms of functions, services and coverage i would say that orange are by far the best. They are more expensive though!
