What's a good phone contract?

[ShawWellPete]

My wife's phone is playing up and her contract with Orange is just finished.

Can anybody recommend a good contract for a heavy user with a nice phone. An iphone might be nice but I doen't think she's that bothered about it if it is much more expensive.

I think we currently pay about £30 a month.

Any advice welcome.

£30pm+heavy use+iphone = no no!, and essentially only on o2.

How are you defining 'nice' phone?

It's for my wife, so you can imagine.

Looks good, easy to work, nice bright screen, fits in a handbag...

Hmm, definitely not the iphone then!

Nokia would be my instinctive choice, but I'm far from an expert.

O2 do some competitive deals it seems on Simplicity sims.

Heavy use = phone calls only? or web/email/camera/texting? 2g or 3g?

Mostly calls and quite a few texts. Camera not that important neither is 3g or web

what network are you on?

its cheaper to call within network so its worth being on the same

Well then if you want to stick with orange how about an upgrade to a LG KS360 http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/lg-ks360-black has a proper qwerty keyboard and comes in girly colours if that's what she likes. Tesco have some on display if you want a closer look.

As for contract I've no idea but again Orange do a few they call Dolphin, you will know which one best suits her usage.
