New mobile - options?

[hairyfeet]

Looking for an opinion, mobiles aren't my strong suit

Till recently I've had a basic one just for the fact I have to be reachable 24/7, I need to replace that and I'm leaning towards a VM package because the home already has services with them, meaning I'd get the free calls to other vm mobiles.. which is useful, as most people I know are with them.

The most basic they have is something like £8.50 a month, which would just get added to the tv/broadband bill (which I'm fine with)

I know they run other deals where you get a tablet etc thrown or the more recent mobiles but don't care for that as I have a tablet/lappy (one of which usually travels with me) and at home the pc

Any oversights here? Negative experiences perhaps?

Cheers

Not much need to stick with VM for calls as most contracts include unlimited or very high free calls to mobiles and landlines.

I've generally gotten my last few phones (also for Mrs Cheesyboy) from mobiles.co.uk. Many of the best deals involve making a few cashback claims, which are easy enough but you need to be organised enough to do them - not suitable for everyone.

less than £10/month deals here:

I tend to buy mid-range phones, and have always stuck with Sony, so can't offer much opinion on any of the budget handsets.
