After finding that the new phone gave me a decent signal where I previously couldn’t make a call, I decided to opt for a Sim only contract.

Basically for £15 per month, I get 225 anytime minutes, 100 texts, and unlimited evening/weekend calls to landlines, so I’m well pleased.

After finding that my new phone gave me a signal where I previously couldn’t make a call, I decided to stay with Orange after all.

I now get 225 anytime minutes, 100 texts and unlimited evening/weekend calls to landlines, which suits me fine, and for £5 less per month than I was paying.

I decided that I wanted a new phone, as I’ve had the Samsung D600 for a couple of years now.

I’ve got several PAYG Sim cards to try out, as I haven’t been too impressed with Orange where I live, so might change.

I decided that I wanted a Sony Ericsson K800i, and picked one up from Carphone Warehouse today for £80, with £10 O2 credit.  The great thing is that because it came from Carphone Warehouse, it was essentially a Sim Free phone, so Mum can have the new sim card, and I’ll carry on using it with my Orange Sim.

An added bonus is that with the K800i, where I couldn’t get a signal with the D600, I now get a decent signal, so I think I will stay with Orange for the time being.

Phone is great, with a 3.2mp camera to boot.
