PAYG SIM

Hi. I'm very fed up with the poor customer service I've been receiving from Orange on my PAYG and their complete inability to let me use GPRS on my phone so I'm after another provider that others have said "yep, it just works and there were no problems setting the phone up". I'm thinking O2 as they have some deals on at the moment for PAYG and GPRS.

Anyone any recomendations? Can I just buy a SIM card from ebay and it will work?

Why not buy one from an O2 shop? Be sure that your 'phone isn't locked to Orange, though.

I got fed up with O2 GPRS on PAYG as they stop you using a smartphone to browse the web (from what I could tell anyway).

Changed to t-mobile PAYG who offer a sensible policy of browse as much as want want for a whole day - total cost £1

Shame easymobile is closing next month, the gprs data for traffic was too low for it to register, so there was never any charge! I am hoping another provider has got this quark, but it's not likely.

I used my TT1 v2 with Traffic yesterday to go from Lincoln to Gravesend and back again. I had traffic updating every 15 mins and a few times I did it manually to check if far off incidents had cleared.
Before I left I had £37 and some pence credit, and after I got back I had over £36, and to me that was superb - especially as it saved me almost an hour of 'parking' on the motorway after a crash (it routed me around nicely).

I'm on Vodafone PAYG, which took a bit of messing around with to get working but I'm very glad I did - was originally on Orange which I found to be next to useless.

Mine's a Motorola Razr V3, but to be honest I hate the phone.

You could try the settings I used for it:
