I cannot imagine having to dial 'voicemail' anymore, that is so yesterday.

You mean like www.hullomail.com that anyone can use?

supposedly it's all because of those pesky file sharers/ downloaders - and not at all seen as a way of making more revenue for the providers at a time when mobile data is becoming more and more commonplace - oh no...

Orange are currently the most expensive, O2 the next, Vodafone the cheapest on iPhone 4 for me so far. That's unless O2 give me a big upgrade discount as I'm due an upgrade and I can tell them where to stick their lousy network!

Sure, that is a cool app for those that don't have VVM but it would really **** me off to have a feature of the iPhone unavailable and have to use third party apps.

Visual Voicemail is very handy, but it's not something I'd consider when weighing up which network to go with.

However, I have decided to stick with O2 anyway.

Orange's prices & tariffs did initially tempt me, due to the increase in minutes (600 vs. 300) and data (750MB vs. 500MB) compared to O2, for the Â£35x18m contract. That temptation though was based upon the assumption that the other networks would charge the same/similar for the handset as Orange.

But of course they're not, as Orange's phone prices are actually Â£50 more than O2 (& Â£60 more than Vodafone).

Vodafone's prices & tariffs did tempt me, as they are nigh on identical to O2's (e.g. on the Â£35x18m contract, they both give you 300 minutes & unlimited SMS, while the phone price only differs by Â£10)... except for DATA: 1GB with Vodafone vs. O2's seemingly paltry 500MB.

But from looking at my usage...

I don't need Vodafone's 1GB, & that was the only real difference between O2 & Vodafone, so why swap.

I don't even need Orange's 750MB, nor do I need Orange's 600 minutes, so why swap (especially if the phone costs Â£50 more with Orange).

So, I'll stick with O2 I think. No one else is offering enough to make me change, so I'll stick to the network I know.

However... also from looking at my usage, I really don't need contract allowances. And I'm not sure I want another contract anyway. I like the idea of being free of commitment, & paying less per month... So I'll most likely be getting one SIM free on Thursday, & then I'll just switch to PAYG or Simplicity when my contract ends in July.

I used the Apple pre-order page on Tuesday to Reserve one for Collection at my local Apple Retail Store.

I would have just ordered one for delivery, but the only option was SIM free, & at the time I still wasn't sure whether I wanted that or a subsidised one on a new contract. Plus of course ordering one online would have meant having to pay before the 24th, & at that point I hadn't yet sold my 3GS.

I swapped over to Voda from o2 and the first time I used voicemail i relaised how damn good visual voicemail is, having to press a series of buttons and waiting to hear you mail just seems so last decade now. So glad that I set up Hullomail it is just like visual voicemail but with extras.

It may be just a small thing but crappy voicemail systems seem to nark me right off at the moment especially the one we have at work that has one of the worst interfaces I have ever seen.
