For 50 quid, Orange will let you have 200 minutes of calls anytime - 25p/min, with 3 months full connection and another 3 months of incoming, 0800 and emergency calls. Or 5 quid a month to Orange would keep you connected and give you 10 minutes of calls. It depends on what you need - if you want a lot of off-peak calls, Voda is your best bet. If you want daytime calls, then Orange is probably a better deal. Alex -- Alex Monro Tel: +44 (0)1392-264100 Physics Dept.
