Question UK mobile 'phone contracts

I am looking into my present mobile 'phone contract. Basically I hardly use it so the monthly line rental is usually the largest part of the total monthly bill. If I make any calls they are usually work related so I claim their cost back. I am not looking for the newest and flashest 'phone and I certainly have no use for a WAP function. And I really have no need for "free" minutes. I do need global roaming throughout Europe

The best deal I have found so far is from One-Tel who will sell you a SIM card for £10 (This assumes you use your own handset, otherwise they will sell you one from their catalogue). Line rental is £4.99 a month, with no charge for itemised billing. Calls are routed via the Vodafone network as best as I can gather so coverage is OK and the call charges are competitively priced, but as I said this is not a huge priority for me. I already use One-Tel for my land line with on line billing and that seems to work OK, and because of that I can get instant global roaming without having to submit a deposit.

No I don't work for One-Tel!

Do any PPRuNers have any experience of One-Tels mobile 'phone deals either good or bad? Or can anyone recommend a better deal ?
