    Been having issues with 3 from the start. I haven't recieved one message since yesterday, my coverage drops, and a few other problems that I've had in the 2 months I've been with them. The customer support are absolutely abysmal too, so I'd just like to leave them.

    What would you guys recommend? I text friends who (mostly) are Meteor, and have a girlfriend who is with 3 atm too. I have decided against using 3G too, because I don't want another distraction in my life (wanna get minimalistic :D )

    o2 will give you free any network texts when you top up by 20E every 30 days. That gives you 20E to spend on calls.

    I just moved to three from that though, as three have all you can eat data for same. Its a low cost network so dont count on any customer support, but if you're good at troubleshooting yourself ya might wanna consider sticking put.

    Meteor, O2 and Vodafone offer free texts to all networks for the 20 euro top up. I can't recommend a better prepay network than 3, their offer is by far the best deal on offer at the moment. Vodafone and O2 traditionally don't compete with each other and have pretty much always had identical offers for years, Meteor followed this non competition policy for a a few years too until last year when they brought out many different offers for different top up amounts.

    Here are their offers, if most the people you text are on Meteor, they're probably your next best option (3 being your best option!). Meteor also have data add-ons (fiver for half gig, tenner for gig).

    All prepay packages are here.

    Based on what you have said, Meteor would seem like the best option for you.
