I have a SIM only "contract" with O2. The "unlimited" data bolt-on part of
it costs me £7.50 a month. (and I just need the basic tenner for calls &
txts myself) But you need a phone for that - I have an E90 and I moved
to sim only when the contract period was up.

Might be something to look at if you already have the phone, although I
think the TXT limit is only 100 a month on that deal - that might only
be enough for about one day for the average teenager ;-)
