Phone company 3......advice

[Ding Dong !]

Anyone currently with 3. And are they any good, is the network signal good any problems experienced etc etc.

3 seem to have a much better deal with apple iphone 4 ( more minutes, less cost ) which I will be getting when my renewal is up.

I've been with O2 for donkeys years but if I can get better deal i will do so.

Any thoughts on 3 ?

I am on 3 and generally the signal is shit.

i am with them and have had no problems at all

Was with them for about two years prior to switching and never had any problems with signal and their customer service at the time was significantly better than O2 (who took about 14 months to finally accept I was no longer using their service).

3 signal is shocking - the only place in Hove town centre I could get a signal was stood outside WHSmiths. And could barely get a signal at home either. Both much better with Orange who in themselves have poor signal strength in the SE.

I went for a phone on 3 because it seemed to be good value. However, I left ASAP as the signal is consistently crap, a lot of calls disconnect, and the internet on the phone crashed more times than it worked etc. I'd avoid them.

Customer service in India - like orange

This should be enough info for you to avoid

Some decent advice there. Thanks.

I see you're in Worthing. There shouldn't be any probs in and around town - my wife & kids have been on 3 for about 3 years and have had no probs at all (I have a company phone on Voda). Any issues with the phone (ie help with some of the features) just take it into the shop - they will always help and quickly. Prob the best deal around.

3 = poor reception / coverage and awful customer service. i've jumped ship for Orange. 2 months in and so far so good!

I've tried them all and T-Mobile works best for me.

As i understand it - 3 share mast sites with T mobile so their 3G signals should be comparible.
