Vodagroan have 8 phones under 20 on payg, 23 under 40
O2 have 2 phones under 20, 5 under 40.
Three have a few under 30, a nice selection under 50 but offer a few things the others don't

Whichever way you look at it, the mobiles seem to be a better offer than BT.
Very true, but the original light user scheme on BT which this replaces was aimed at pensioners who needed the phone to remain in contact and had a lifeline system.
Elderly people can't always manage the small buttons on cell phones, and you can't attach lifeline systems to them.
So there's no choice really for some.
