Ray - I don't know that contract you're on, but on Pay as you talk, I do get 
charge for accessing my voice mail, just wanted to be clear about that as 
Carol might well be considering PAYT as well as contract -

| Carol, not much to say about T-Mobile, who I am with, as I'm not a
| demanding or sophisticated mobile phone user.
|
| Basically, I get a contract for £11.00 a month with free calls between
| 7:00pm and 7a.m  to local numbers and two hours free national calls
| per month.  I don't know how much extra I'd have to pay for texts as I
| cannot send them at the moment on that tarrif.  One thing I would say
| that is, if voice mail is important to you, then it doesn't cost
| anything to access with T-Mobile, although I believe the caller pays
| quite heavily for it.
|
| T-Mobile's website is quite good, but not used customer support much
| lately so had better not comment.
|
| Coverage of the network does leave something to be desired - unless my
| phone isn't particularly sensitive.
|
| All this said, I've been with them for something like ten years now,
| and unless my phone usage changes radically I'm not likely to change
| any time soon.
|
| Cheers,
|

| Vodafone, in my experience is the best. I have been with everyone,
| T-Mobile,
| Orange, O2, and Vodafone, I haven't been on Three or Virgin, so can't
| say
| what they can or cannot offer, but I shouldn't think that they are
| better
| than Vodafone.
