I have been with Vodacrap (through CPW) since 2000 (don't ask me why). My contract is due to end soon, so I called them up to see what they could offer me to stay on with them. I asked them to give me a K800 as an upgrade (for free), and I would then be prepared to sign another 12 month contract. I was transferred to their "Loyalty" dept. They offered me a "free" K800", but my line-rental would double! I didn't accept this. On my current plan, they would charge me £109 for the K800. I was about to go ahead, until I realised that it was a Voda branded unit. According to the Voda-rep., they no longer have unbranded units (unless you buy sim-free at FULL price). Well, that sealed it for me. On to another network.
I've been thinking O2. I've been offered a free K800 on £19 per month on O2.
Does anyone have any input as to which network they would recommend?
I basically want:
1) Unbranded (or virtually unbranded) unit.
2) Not interested in texts, just want decent call prices and good data packages.
Thanks in advance for any input

The best advise i can give is NEVER EVER EVER go to 3!!! EVER
They suck in a completely new way of sucking that has never been experienced before EVER.

I've had Voda for 2 years so far I'm on the 5 or 6th contract.
Go instore to Voda rather than to a CPW, you get better deals.
I have a Voda branded K800i, nothing bad really, just a couple buttons changed and the voda sticker and voda lock. Harmless

Go for O2, the only branding you get is a wallpaper, and the playnow icon is changed, other than that its all standard. I got my k800 for £50, but got 500mins and 500txts for £25pm. Cheers

Mine was an upgrade, I had the choice, cheap phone and normal contract or cheap contract and reduced phone, so I took the latter.
Cheers

if u want unbranded K800i. o2 would be your only option. The good news is u can always get a better deal after your first 12 months contract. |

I'm with Orange and have been happy with them for 9 years!!! Next month I think they are going to introduce some new price plans, so it's rumoured as all the networks are trying to beat T-Mobiles FLEXT packages.
So FLEXT are supposed to be the best plans at the mo but I'm not sure what there branding is like. I vote Orange anyway. |

Hi as a recent convert to T-Mobile personally i think the combination of Flext and Web N Walk is currently unbeatable and the branding seems to be minimal but hey just MO.
