How can u say O2 is the most expensive? For £20 a month I get 500 free wap mins, 500 free txts, 500 free off-peak mins to landlines and O2 mobiles and 50 free off-peak mins to other networks. And I got a free Nokia 3410 (could have had a Sumsung A300 instead)

As I said a friend of mine is on O2, actually he was on O2 (joined T-Mobile yesterday). He had higher bills every month than me. Funnily enough, I use my phone a lot more than he does…. So its strange that his bills were much more than mine (same line rental). By the way it seems that you work for O2
since you have got a deal with them that seems too good to be true!!!!

You say orange customer service is good?
My friend choose orange and really regrets it! He tried to set up wap, and they just kept stalling on him. Then he wanted to unlock teh handset, and some operators sid its not allowed!
I use voda and with my last phone, that broke, they replaced it same day! As far as i can see, you choose the network depending upon who u will call, and how often u call!
Voda is best for me, as my dads on it, my mums on it, my girlfriend is on it, and most my friends are too. I get loads of free mins, free txts and dont pay line rental, seems perfect to me!

2 points:
1) prodigy - the difference between GB and UK is that GB excludes Northern Ireland so T-mobile can omit to mention their poor coverage there
and still have a figure of 99%
2) On the topic itself; I think what the many posts have proved is that if you get poor customer service with Orange or T-Mobile you are stuck if you want to stay with them, but with Voda and O2, the abundance of service providers lets you shop around and get better service.
I have just moved from O2 (BTMC service provider) to Orange partly due to the cost effectiveness of having a talkshare and partly due to BTMC going from quite good, to terrible.
Orange appear to be quite good at sorting out problems. I am also quite pleased that I appear to have got AnswerFax for free. I ported my fax number to Orange and got a text welcoming me to answerfax, when I rang Orange, they confirmed this and told me that they had waived the charge.

Not much said about 02 apart from it's expensive. Utter rubbish!
I've been on BT\02 for 5 years now and every year I've done price comparisons and they are always cheaper. In fact this year when I wanted to get my T68i I compared all networks and for what I pay £35/month you get the best value for money 200 mins cross network, 50 free texts, international call discounts, free voicemail. If you look at Voda, Orange and T-mobile you dont get anything like that for the money.
I challenge anyone to beat that.

OK, how about this:
Orange Everyday 50 = £15 per month.
- 1500 minutes per month free (off-peak). Thereafter 1p per minute.
- During peak time, I call through a third party (Telco) and pay 5p per min to any phone (landline or other network) in UK.
If you use your 50 minutes free everyday instead of using your landline (if you have one as well), then you're also saving money off the landline.
I use my phone every day, and have never received a bill for more than £30 in one month (unless abroad).

Whinge, whinge, whinge... *rolls eyes*
No, Orange aren't perfect -- but they try their best to provide an extensive insurance programme and a wide range of business and personal services. No network can possibly give you 100% satisfaction, no matter how hard they try, and frankly -- if you insist on SIM-swapping and such, you have to pay the price. At least Orange is well-protected and offers a 'personal touch'. Orange phones are not locked because they want to be 'stingy'. It's actually a form of crime prevention, and you can always pay to get your phone unlocked if it's such a bother.
