I will be travelling fairly extensively (Aberdeen, Inverness, > Cardiff, Penzance) so an extensive network would be handy. Orange Just Talk would be the best all round one for that, coverage is good and prices are fair. > Also, the matter of handset compatibility.

Don't use Virgin though, nice prices but the coverage is awful, you mention Penzance, well Virgin is almost non existent in Cornwall. -- Michael Rodgers, Plymouth UK http://www.network-southeast.co.uk - The NSE Page Spamtrapped: Remove the upper case word to reply
