I looking in to buying a pay as you go phone
and hands free but have know idea what to get.
Someone said vodafone is the best network to
be on but I am on orange and its been ok. I think
they said 3 as not got much coverage
How do those bluetooth headsets work and are
they easy to set up as people have mentioned
Jabra bt250v which there is one for sale at argos
for £59.99 which got the t3 gold award
Also need a phone with bluetooth possibly thinking
the nokia 6230
dont go to argos for the jabra 250v tesco has them the 32 quid. they are fairly easy to set up even my dad can use one and hes useless with techno stuff.
as for networks what ever feels right
Never had any problems with Orange myself and the Nokia 6230 is a good phone, had one for about a year and a half now without any problems, If you can run to the Nokia 6230i it has 32 M/B of memory instead of the 7 M/B with the 6230, can’t comment on the bluetooth headsets though as I don’t use one.
I use a Nokia 6630 on 3 and have a Tesco B/tooth headset which cost £20 and works fine. The coverage from 3 has been excellent and the deal, via Dial-a-phone, is good. As always, there are now even better deals out there since I got mine. 
The best deals are ‘Flext’ on T-Mobile but they seem to have the worse coverage at the moment.
You’ll fine the best deals usingthis site.
Click here to see the options for the 6230i. You can actually get it for free if you make sure you claim your cashbacks and that includes 400 anytime any network minutes + 100 texts per month on either Orange or O2.
Sidetracking slightly, the friend who first showed me this phone site has 30+ mobiles from them at any one time!!! He set up a spreadsheet to keep track of when to claim his cashbacks etc and when to give notice on each phones contract, thus ensuring he gets some of the newest phones for free. He has literally thousands of free minutes and texts every month and just uses a couple of phones, putting the sim cards in as he needs them. The phones themselves he has given his kids/family as presents and the remainder have been sold on ebay for anywhere between £80 and £200!!! And it’s all ligit.
Thanks for the replys and I will check out
tesco for the bluetooth headsets. I am going
to get the Nokia 6230i also
Cheers 
Vodafone definitely gives the best coverage, followed by O2, t-mobile then Orange - I use/have used all of them over the last year… Vodafone’s customer support can be sadly lacking at times, & Orange’s is atrocious at the moment - being blamed on the company changing over. T-mobile & O2 have generally very good customer service. For bluetooth, I’ve had the same Plantronics headset for over a year now - can’t fault it & it’s a lot more discreet than some of the Nokia & Jabra ones.

Using that phone site that you posted.
It makes it look as though you pay the line rental for 12/18 months and get loads of minutes and texts.Then claim it all back at the end.
So it costs you nothing for 12/18monts.
Am i reading it right?

Just about, yeah!! Same as my phone contract, you have to ‘apply’ for your cashback at (usually) 4, 8 & 12 months. Applying is simply a case of sending in your phone bill and ‘bingo’!! To be honest, no end of people forget, don’t/can’t be bothered so in the end it’s a decent marketing ploy . . . . unless you’re a tight Yorkshire git like me!! 
Like I said perviously, my friend who has 30+ mobiles from them has a spredsheet that he uses to keep on top of it all and has never missed a cashback etc.
Strangely enough, and I don’t know if this is because it was through Dial-a-phone or what, but my line rental refunds were credited to me automatically before i even got around to applying for them!! 
In a nutshell, that is what the whole site is about - finding free mobile phones!!
Nokias are a pain in the ■■■, I hate them.
