    Best Network

    what is the best network to go on?

    things that matter to me

    - coverage
    - cost
    - services (e.g 3g, video messaging, picture messaging, wap)
    - phones available
    - customer service


    (fancy gettin a nokia n70)


    cheers :)

    I am on 3 mobile

    so fucking cheap, i have never had a dropped call, and full signal pretty much everywhere!

    2 of my house mates are on orange, and one on 02 and they have to stand at the front window to make a call or text.

    3 have defo improved!!

    I pay 25 a month and get 500 anytime minutes, 1000 anytime texts, free insurence, 6 months half price line rental.

    I beg to differ.

    If you get the online deals they are spot on and personally i or anyone i know have never had any problems with network or anything mentioned above.

    Re: Best Network

    I've just disconnected with Orange only to take out a new contract with them! They were going to charge £50 for an upgrade with 18 month contract even though I've been with them for the last 8 years! I got the phone as a second handset on the account for nowt on a new 12 month contract then changed the original handset to PAYG at no cost! £50 saving, shorter contract, \/\/inner! :lol: :king:

    Agree with Marce, signal's absolutely fine and price match all tarrifs on other networks. Can't lose really! Call centre staff (sweeping generalisation here!) are twats though... :dunce:

    Vodafone is the way forward!

    I've just signed up for the Stop the clock thing, talk to anyone on any network for up to an hour and it'll only charge you for 3 minutes!!!!GENIUS!!!! :king:

    Plus this counts in your free minutes so will very rarely have to go over your contract amount!!! :D

    Plus upgrades are good, all the best phones are available first on vodafone!!

    My Orange contract phone is mint.

    Unlimited calls and texts to orange. 5p texts and 15p calls to other networks, 30mb free download and free upgrade every 12 months. All for £15 a month.

    And their call centre staff are amazingly friendly and helpfull.


    Mind you...i do work for them..ud have to work there to get that.

    But for me, Orange is the bestest.


    If you are gonna go with Orange tho, id advise a web tarrif. They are the better deals.

    My friend form work has a contract with Orange and over the past week she has had so much bother with her phone, her phone has been cut off for over a week now (due no no fault of her own,) she has had to ring them several times each day to see what's happening and they all give her different stories as to what's gone on and how long it's going to be untill the problem is sorted.

    Fair do's... :)
    I was with them a few years ago.. they treat me like a cheap whore! Got me in... fucked me about and then I had to leave..
    I've been with T-Mobile (One2One), Orange, o2 and Vodaphone...

    I have no complaints about any of them, bar o2.
    Given the choice of what network to join 2day... I'd join Vodaphone. :up:

    A word of caution though... choose wisely as there are aparent shake ups about to be made in the way UK customers sign up for mobile contracts.. or so I have heard. Its goin euro styleee... :down:

    Orange from my experiance (as a business user) as you can almost always get through to support in about 10 secs and that person can almost always sort out whatever you need.

    Massive problem with Orange at the moment is that contract reggies and billing have moved to india. Am constantly getting calls through from them to transfer customers but they rarely seem to get the problem right. Mind you, mustnt be too easy for them using a 2nd language. I couldnt solve problems in french!

    Tis funny at the end of the call tho, cos they come through to me, i ask them to transfer and they say ' Thankyou for calling Orange. I hope you have a very nice day' before they transfer.

    Anyhow, whats the problem...i work in support, i may have a clue. :) or maybe not :p
