I would imagine it depends on the area but in general I would assume
they do. Do they have the visual voicemail and data plans?

I have noticed since having an iPhone that my texting rate has shot up
as it works much better - do they give you enough of that?

It does depend on area. If you live in Ilfracombe O2 is useless. It's
not too bad where I live and certainly better than 3 who I was with
before. My daughters Vodaphone phones seem to work in more places. I
don't know anything about the Voda plans (my daughters have other
phones) but I'm on the 35 quid a month job which has 600 minutes and
500 texts (IIRC) which is more than I can ever use, even though my
texting has increased now that I have a phone with a decent UI

Thats why I had said that she needs to check the area. O2 is ok here but
3 was better (which is odd, as I thought they shared masts). Where I
used to live, voda and tmobile were useless, whereas o2 was ok and
orange was good.

I am on �35, which is what put me off for so long, that it cost that
much for just 600 minutes (my last plan was 750 mins for �25). I do use
a lot more texts now though.

Well I was on �15 for 300 minutes (on a phone that I /only/ used for
calls) and so it was quite a big jump for me. But with the extra
minutes I stopped using the land line and this quarter I have saved
�30.

Plus I assume I will be able to sell my phone at the end of the plan.

All things considered I'm paying a little more, but am getting a heck
of a lot for it.
