What to do next (o2 08 non-geo)?

Now that o2 are slowly but surely turning into Orange with their own
version of simplifications. Like many of you I've been wondering what
the next step to take is.

I have two o2 400m/100t (Free ITS, free voicemail, my europe, 1 month
rollover) £35pm contracts at the moment, both just came out of
contract (12 months).

Don't want to change my handsets (carkit compatibility) and all other
networks and deals don't interest me at the moment, certainly will
never go back to Orange that's for sure.

As much as o2 are turning into Orange I've had virtually nothing to
complain about them during the time I've been with them.

So I'm considering moving one contract to o2 Simplicity online
600m/1000t £25pm sim only deals, and the second to Tesco Mobile value
PAYG sim only for their non-geo rates. At least I won't be tied to a
contract if something decent comes up in the near future.

Anyways this is my plan, wouldn't mind hearing what some of you are
planning to do if anything...

Sam.

I just moved from Leisure 1000 (£25) to the simplicity Leisure 15 plan.
Since I'm not signing up online they wouldn't offer me the full 500
texts available there, but only 250. A member of the disconnection team
then offered me 450. She pointed out that I only use an average of 47
texts a month anyway, which was interesting information. I probably
should have asked if she could have given me something else instead.
