Does anyone have one or two (ie also one for the mrs) - are they billed separately or on one bill and is the itemised billing charged for?

3to go, 3's PAYG equivalent is billed by direct debit. If they are both registered to one person the second is a "user" If you want to have separate bills best to have them registered individually.
e2save have some good deals on monthly contract.

I've not had the first one yet so I am not certain about the bills but I think that's how it works.

I have just canceled my contract with them because there network coverage is very poor and the battery only lasts 6 hours if you use it more than 3 times a day (but you do get 2 batteries)
YOU DO GET A 14 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE !! SO TRY BEFORE YOU BUY !

Put the 3 SIM in a different phone..... then the phone sticks to the 2G network (O2) and you get tons of calls for not much money.

My 3G sim on my unlocked Nokia 6310 resulted in a grand nothing!

didn't work for me, put it in my unlocked phone (siemens sl45) and it blocked my card

not had any problems with my battery life, lasts about 3 days but then again i don't make many calls - just use it for playing music & videos

It does work.... but only in selected phones.

So far, I've only had success in a Nokia 3310 and a 7210.

You have to force the phone onto the O2 Network, and it does the rest for you.

I'd read somewhere that 3g sims run on a different voltage.
This is interesting cos I was thinking of signing up to 3 for the price plans mainly but using my 6310i from day to day. Has anyone got a 3g sim to work in a 6310?

There is a thread here which lists phone that do & don't work with a 3 sim.

But there are some decent phones that 3 are releasing at the end of Sept, The NEC e616, Motorola A835 & A920, and the Nokia 6650.
