Default Contract almost expired - need help with new one

I currently have two phones on one contract, which is coming to the end of
the minimum term. I am currently paying £50/month for 700 minutes shared, no
texts, and free calls between handsets.
I am looking for two phones, with around 500-700 minutes shared, maybe some
inclusive texts. I would like phones that have reasonably good internet
access, mainly for retreiving email, and web browsing. Probably Nokia, so it
is easy for er indoors to use.
Having looked around I cannot see any good deals on shared contracts, can
anyone help?

many thanks

Vernon

I know its not exactly what you are looking for, but think about 2 sim
only contracts with vodafone - £25 buys you 750 minutes and 250 texts
(so thats 1500 minutes between you for your £50) with only a 30 day
notice period. If one of you uses phone more than the other you could
go with (say) a £15 - 225 minutes - and £20 - 500 minutes and save £15 a
month. Over an 18 month contract that is £270 and you can buy yourself
new unlocked phones from someone like expansys or keep one or more of
the old ones.

My wife and I have done just that - both self employed and very variable
work demand. With troubled economic times ahead, the lack of lock in
period is potentially a big plus. One of our phones is a PAYG Samsung
E250 which cost £30 in the Voda shop, it works with the contract SIM and
does just what we want.

It's sort of liberating not having a minimum term - makes me feel like a
real customer with power to choose!
