Default New Mobile - O2 or BT Mobile

I'm after a 6230 on either of the two above networks. I'm leaving Orange after 8 years as I don't make them enough profit (their words!!!)

Can I have your opinions please?

Yep, Don't leave Orange!!

My personal phone is Orange and my Works phone 02, and I'm forever having to use my phone as my works one has no Signal

Edited to add that BT Mobile and 02 are the same Network, BT Mobile is just a service provider for the 02 Network (I think)

Dont go O2 - they are shocking for reception. I had one for a year and was forever losing signal - put works vodafone sim in and bam straight up to full signal. Moved back to voda and would never go near 02 again - havent had one failed sms send in 5 months with voda - with 02 was a regular occurence.

It depends where you are and where you are likely to use it.
For me o2 is by far the best option.

Vodafone is probably the best network. O2 isn't bad and certainly better than Orange or T-Mobile, IME.
