Help me choose a mobile please

[mesmerred]

I rarely make calls on my mobile, but do a fair bit of texting and have always got on best with Nokia for texting. I'm not on a contract currently as when I was I never used all the call minutes. So am now on pay as you go with Orange, but put in �50 about every 3 months. I need Bluetooth so that I can use the phone in the car and I would like a cameraphone although the camera can be good, rather than superb as I don't plan to use it much. And of course the phone must be easy to text with. Can anyone advise me please? should I go back on contract, get a text package, or buy a phone off Ebay and if so, which one?

I got my daughter a Sony Ericson phone from 3. She gets 1000 texts a month and 100 voice minutes for �20.
They have a range of phones and are also doing packages where you get so many units. so if you get 500 units you can mix voice and texts.
Its worth going into a 3 shop and finding out.

Get a PAYG from Tesco on their extra tariff.

As long as you top up �15 a month textsare 5p each. Voice calls 10p a minute regardless of time of day or whether mobile / landline.

Coverage is good as they use the O2 network.

Check up T-Mobile solo sims.

�20 gets you 500 mins + unlimited texts, 30 day contract. Sim only, decent T-mobile PAYG for �50, and use the solo sim
