Which network?

[FlameR]

I've ordered an iPhone 4S (sim free from Apple), as my contract is almost up and I wanted to do a monthly rolling contract so when the "iphone 5" eventually arrives I can just sell my 4S and buy a 5.

I was going to go on Orange, but from reading about on here, people seem to slate the network.

Currently on Voda, and considering O2, 3 and GiffGaff (I believe they use O2!?).

Any ideas on which so the best plans are is it much of a muchness? I need unlimited texts, around 300 mins and 1GB of data with decent network & 3G coverage in the NW.

Danke

Im with O2 on the Simplicity 300 with the "Works for iPhone", £25 per month on a monthly rolling contract.

The Works is for people who want to make the very most of their Smartphone, iPhone or BlackBerry. It gives you 1GB

of data, unlimited public Wi-Fi (through The Cloud and BT Openzone) and 50 free picture messages for ​

£10 a month

I'm going with GiffGaff. £10 for 300 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited data. I've never used them before so I can't recommend them but i'll see.

Just finished my contract with 02, signal has been pretty poor where I live and I really want orange wednesdays so ordered my 4s with them.

Go with whoever has the best coverage where you are normally knocking about.

Having unlimited everything for pittence a year is great, but if you get no bars, it's a touch toss.

I'm going Orange.

Voda were shite.

 

[Jamie16v]

Is it true Orange & T-mobile share signals now?

 

[Tom]

Yes, for almost a year.

 

[olliewebbuk]

Do they share 3G data signals yet?

 

[Tom]

No. Starts next week.

As of next week, the "big 3G switch-on" will roll-out, region by region across the UK. Great news for T-Mobile and Orange customers.

3 use orange's masts, so they may also use t-mobile's?

I am with 3 and i have to say it is very rare that i dont get a signal

 

[olliewebbuk]

No.

I'm out.

 

[Tom]

Yes, for a week.

Then you might be back in.

Hope they have fixed it this time round. The switch went ahead last week according to an internal email. I presume it was pulled as the 3G mast nearest us just refused to give any web access at all, either T-Mobile or Orange, so I expect it was like that nationwide.
