Forgot to mention that I find the coverage and speed really good
I second that.

I've been with Orange for over a decade but since getting my N900 have been looking for a good data plan so just started trying out O2's Simplicity for smart phones - 1 month, monthly contract @ £20pm. So far I'm very happy so will likely port my number and move to a 12 month contract @ £15pm.

Details here:

As already mentioned although they don't officially permit VoIP, Skype does work fine and I'm not finding anything is currently blocked. FYI, also not allowed is "continuous streaming of any audio / video content." So I would imagine an hour here and there of in-car Last.fm streaming during my daily commute should be fine.

Data Bolt On, Smartphone Bolt On and Blackberry Bolt On Terms for mobile web usage

1. The Web Bolt On, Smartphone Bolt On and BlackBerry Bolt On allows you unlimited use of Telefónica O2 UK Limited‘s Edge/GPRS/ 3G networks (as applicable to your handset), for personal internet use via your mobile phone. All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not use your SIM Card:
* in, or connected to, any other device including modems;
* to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable Voice over Internet (Voip), P2P or file sharing; or
* in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers.
If O2 reasonably suspects you are not acting in accordance with this policy O2 reserves the right to impose further charges, impose network protection controls which may reduce your speed of transmission, remove the Web Bolt On from your account or disconnect your tariff at any time, having attempted to contact you first.
From what I can gather their unlimited data is truly unlimited, without a defined maximum data allowance.
