Thinking of switching mobile network

[Fyldewhite]

Contract up, have been with T-Mobile/EE for ever and thinking of moving.

There are some decent deals on Three that suit me in terms of phone/data/price but reviews seem to vary on this network. It looks to have good 4G coverage in my area but interested if anyone has views good/bad? Anyone else made a similar switch etc?

I've been with 3 for several years and I'm perfectly happy with them.

With all these things, it depends where you are.

If in a city/big town then anything will work.
If out in the sticks or semi-rural. then certain networks will have a better coverage

The word you need is "Enquire"

Good luck

Thanks both. Done a fair bit of internet trawling this week. Just wondered if anyone had some "real life" comments. I'm not out in the sticks much.....and when I am I'd probably see no signal as a plus!

Cheers

I have been with 3 for many years and found reception to be good in any built up area. I have also received many calls from my family in places that should not have reception. e.g. Ardnamurchan Point in Scotland - northern Norway.

You probably need a comment from someone on 3 in your area. Living in the West Midlands there is good reception for all networks, I would have thought.

+1 for Three.

Can you use the Internet abroad on them too for nothing with most plans.

I've been with Tesco and very happy with the service. Their contract prices, no extra charge for 4G and no extra charges for making calls overseas.

Was with three for years aswell and had no problem with network coverage, switched to Vodafone earlier this year as I thought the deals three were giving out were crap this time round.

I'm on 3 and quite happy. As others have said, no issues in civilisation but often get no signal out in the sticks.

get a free PAYG sim on the one you fancy and test it at home. I have just switched from O2 to EE and will be saving about 150 quid a month.

Mainly due to O2 extortionate international calls.

For example last week i had a typical 22 minute phone call to a landline in the netherlands. on my new contract, that call cost 83p. I checked and O2 that would have been 29.50!!!
