    Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, but what is the best payment plan out there for someone who:

    (a) texts about 80% of the time (across networks)
    (b) calls other people 20% of the time (across networks)
    (c) never uses internet, WAP, etc. or other services
    (d) texts/calls about 10 people regularly (so one of those friends for free jobs would be great)
    (e) lives in a rural area, so probably O2 or Vodafone

    Thanks

    when you move to meteor you can get upto €120 in credit!

    Free talk and text to meteor
    free any network texts

    only one plan per phone (i think). topup required for above plans. 50 MB of data for 99c a day for WAP internet.

    Can you post what amount of minutes and texts you are using. Example 400 texts and 100minutes?

    The minutes are the crucial thing here, depending how many you use. 3 have a 'best of both' plan which includes unlimited any network texts and a 100 any network minutes for €25 a month.
