    Most networks have the €20 a month prepay options for unlimited any network texts, then you can use the €20 for the calls so depends what nework suits you better.

    See what networks have the phone you want, and what prices, and then take it from their.

    i'm a bit of a meteor fanboy

    just buy the phone unlocked so you can switch network easily if you end up not liking one

    thats not a great idea to be honest, if you unlock the phone before choosing what network to use, u wont be able to use a lot of the services on the phone eg internet etc.

    Total rubbish. What you won't get is the network settings preloaded. These can be obtained from the network, usually over the internet.

    Mobile networks send their OTA (Over The Air) settings via SMS.

    Sorry, I meant they can be requested by visiting the company's website on a computer and filling in a form. You then receive them via SMS, yes.
