I had a work mobile around 1990.

It was like a brick.

One guy refused to use his on the grounds that he would look a total **** on the train :))

[DulwichFox]

One guy in our office had one of these.. with the built-in charger..

Sue, GG along with some of the similar alternatives proposed in here are an MVNO, where MNO stands for mobile network operator, and where the V does not but should in my opinion stand for eVil! these Johnnycomelatelys are encouraged by regulators to camp on MNOs networks FOR THEIR OWN (referring to the MVNOs) PRIVATE gain, when they have made none of the financial investment to roll out the network themselves, Norwood have the expertise to maintain it should the MNOs be temporarily indisposed. In my view this is SHORT SIGHTED! it's akin to taking the cheap poor quality mass produced and imported merchandise instead of supporting local by buying LOCAL! That said, if you are minded to go with an MVNO, I would recommend avoiding using one whose marketing dept, and management are clearly so devoid of soul, taste or morals as "LIFE MOBILE". Giff Gaff would seem like a fine choose relatively, for benchmarked consumers.

Support your local Deutsche Telekom outlet.

These places mostly all have the same deals available as rival competitors, assuming you're out of contract and are prepared to go through the charade of 'I'm leaving'.

Tell EE you want to move to Giff or Virgin and they'll 'suddenly' discover a deal which is virtually identical. (I'm on EE for ?5/month, same minutes and data as Virgin - only Virgin isn't 4G and EE is)

Asking for PAC code does the trick in the shortest possible time.

Actually it didn't work for me last time. I went through all the usual palaver but EE weren't able to give me as good a deal with the phone I wanted as an online contract.

I'm still with EE ie the EE network, but the contract is with mobiles direct online or something, don't have it to hand.
