More people say Orange, but ask a native what the plans are as they're always changing. If you're willing to plunk down a few hundred for the phone plus the bill over the course of the next 12 months..find out what really works with Orange (for more info, ask your q's on Janglo and get all the replies to your inbox). Btw: student plans/travel rentals are eh.

There's really little difference.... All the companies have roughly the same plans...
Orange has a "Shomer Shabbos" plan that gives you an hour free if you don't talk on Shabbos, but I'm sure cellKlum has a similar plan..... -------------------- [/flirting]

The Nokia E51 looks like a great phone, killer prices i found on ebay. when you say you can run skype from it, you mean calls forwarded to your Nokia when offline? could you clarify...i'm an avid skype user(skype out and Skype btwn computers) and would love to get a phone to sync with skype! |

QUOTE "If the black hats feel their beliefs will not permit them to observe the small courtesies and rituals that oil the wheels of civic life on occasions where they volunteer to interact with their fellow citizens, then let them stay in their self-wrought ghettoes and eschew public life altogether. They can't have it both ways". Barbara Kay Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity. Different forms of liberalism may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for a number of principles, including extensive freedom of thought and speech, limitations on the power of governments, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market or mixed economy, and a transparent system of government |
