Phones4u is a totally seperate company which sell all four networks.
They
also have a lot of market share and good relationships w/ providers
(based
on size).

Dialaphone are totally seperate and afaik they dont use singlepoint
anymore.

I cant really see Vodafone becoming a "single airtime provider" since
afaik (this is just from what i've heard) Singlepoint have around 40% of
the vodafone contract market.

Singlepoint actually do corporate customers too thru various channels,
including part of the Caudwell Group "4u ltd".

I cant really see how a singlepoint customer cant use gprs while a voda
customer cant, unless this is a restriction on the vodafone network
either
by singlepoint -or- vodafone for whatever business reason. (Singlepoint
dont have any equipment to upgrade to gprs, it's all vodafones network).

Hope that helps..

Matthew (somewhat biased, probably wrong, and speaking of his own
opinion).
