Daggers Posted 2 November 2006 Posted 2 November 2006 I have Virgin and I have to lean out of our upstairs window, or stand on one leg on top of a bin holding a cod, in order to get a signal in our house...centre of Brum! I've been told O2 have the best coverage, is this a lie? Cis, do you get paid to advertise that phone site? Are they any cop?
Wils Posted 2 November 2006 Posted 2 November 2006 Im on Orange and i think its sh it. Im forever not having signal.

You normally have to experiment. T-Mobile are usually good for me. Cis, do you get paid to advertise that phone site? Are they any cop? how do you mean?
cisono Posted 2 November 2006 Posted 2 November 2006 Your sig There are different things in my signature. The mobile phone links point to where I get my phones from (I normally have two, a personal one and a business one), usually with 80-100% cashback!
Katy Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Orange is pretty good for me - except when im in Wales <_<
Daggers Posted 3 November 2006 Author Posted 3 November 2006 Orange is pretty good for me - except when im in Wales <_< Bad choice of network for Moby Dick then
Katy Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Bad choice of network for Moby Dick then Probably just as well :pinch:
Dr The Singh Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Vodoafone are the best, our directors live out in the sticks and both Orange and T mobile fail miserably, O2 is Ok, but Vodoafone seem to be the best!! I though Virgin, use the same network as T-mobile???
hairy Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 I agree with the Singh. Vodafone all the way. My whole family have just changed over to it because its the only one that works in Great Glen.
Monk Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Im on Orange and i think its sh it. Im forever not having signal. I'll second that! Can barely get a signal in Oakham at all!
Guest Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Never had a problem with O2. Famous last words.....
chili_con_carne Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Vodafone charge 12p a text which is the downside, o2 def the best
Suffolk_fox Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 I have had Tmobile, Vodafone, 3 and Orange and rank them thus: Vodafone - by far the best coverage and customer service TMobile - bit patchy, but good customer service 3 - ok, bit iffy but getting better. Customer service in India. Orange - Pants. Big, baggy with a wee stain on the front. Avoid.

Customer service in India. Orange - Pants. Big, baggy with a wee stain on the front. Avoid. Orange's customer services also seem to be based in India (sometimes very difficult to understand). They also sometimes give incorrect info (for instance, I was told that calls to non-geographical numbers are charged the same as landlines. It later became apparent the cust services operative had no idea what non-geographical numbers were. When I tried to explain the concept to him, he accused me of making things up and trying to confuse him!!! ) T-Mobile's customer services are better those of 3 and Orange. I haven't tried Vodafone yet.
The People's Hero Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 I though Virgin, use the same network as T-mobile??? Yes. They 'rent' the required frequency 'space' from T Mobile. This all started back in the day they were One2One. There are only 4 real networks. Orange, 02 (previously BT Cellnet), T Mobile and Vodafone. In my experience O2 is the best. I'm on T Mobile at the moment. I'd personally avoid 'virtual' networks like Virgin.
cisono Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 I though Virgin, use the same network as T-mobile??? See TPH's reply. It seems to me that they have lower "priority" than real network users, if you see what I mean. Therefore, I also recommend avoiding virtual mobile networks.
cisono Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Download sexy pictures of me naked to your mobile... :pinch: I'd rather... have TPH and LWICD's naked pics on my phone
Guest Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Orange - Pants. Big, baggy with a wee stain on the front. Avoid. The other half would agree with that! Complete shambles, he says.
cisono Posted 3 November 2006 Posted 3 November 2006 Hey yeah maybe I can take some when they next pay me a visit. Make sure you get them together in the same pic
Nationwider Posted 4 November 2006 Posted 4 November 2006 I've been on Vodafone, O2 and Orange in the past. For me, O2 has had the best nationwide® coverage by far. I've not tried T-Mobile, but a couple of people I know boast that their signal with them is usually pretty crap.
Alexikokopops Posted 4 November 2006 Posted 4 November 2006 Vodafone are sweet for me. My sister works for them which means a dirt cheap phone, hooray.

I miss their customer services... (currently with 3 and, worse, Orange)
