    as the title suggest.. which is the best network for calling northern ireland from the south and vice versa?

    i'm getting a bit sick of carrying two phones around all of the time and i'm wondering is there a network the caters for this kind of thing?

    ideally, a prepay option would best suit but wouldn't mind a decent contract either.. anybody else in this situation found a solution?

    as I understand it a southern 3, Vodafone or O2 phone has possibilities. It depends on whether you call Northern landlines or mobiles and the proportion of time you are on each network. 3 have a 50% thing where you can make calls in NI & GB within your minutes but only up to 50% of the minutes. Vodafone charge a fee (maybe 26c) for calls on their Irish PAYG in NI, O2 dont appear to charge anything.
