johnny g Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 If you're going for Smartphones, I'd seriously look at Three - and their all you can eat data plans. I've just moved our company phones over to them - I get full signal nearly everywhere I am, the least I've seen is 1 bar, and never been anywhere (yet) where I get zero coverage.

TubbyTwo Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Im Just looking at Three actually some good deals to be had. We seem to have a lot of dead spots in the areas I live and work, I guess if it really was that bad I could jsut send the phone back and cancel the lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I have a friend in Norwich who went on 3 not long ago. He reckoned it was ok if you were in the city - get 5 miles into the sticks though and forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I was on 3 as SIM-only when my Voda contract ended last year. I stayed with them a fair while, until early this year when a Voda deal (incl. Quidco) came up that was too good to miss. The 3 coverage was pretty good in the cities, although still a bit hit/miss in buildings but then you could level that at any provider I suppose. In the Council building I work in, old and with super thick walls, 3 gave a higher percentage of 3G/HSPDA signal but Voda seems to provide better voice coverage just going on what I've noticed. My cousin has Virgin Mobile, and he says they aren't the best if that's any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I did'nt think the coverage with Virgin was particularly good, that was 2 or 3 years ago and it may have improved. Looks like they're using the Orange network where the Virgin one won't give you a signal. Virgin coverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9l3 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 o2 is the best and have good signal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 ^^^ T Mobile utilize the Orange network too o2 is the best and have good signal Signal is good with O2, no doubt about it. Their Tariffs are not competitive at all. So I moved after a number of years across to T Mobile. So far... a very good move thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
