[chris-red]

Any good? thinking of changing as fed up with Vodafone, was on there when they first came out but the signal was crappy how good are they now?

It's the worst mobile network in the UK by a fair amount, I know a few people on 3 in the South where I live and it's quite a moment when they obtain some signal, let alone 3G.

Don't bother, Vodafone/O2 are much better, at a stretch Orange/T-Mobile.

I've actually just switched from Vodafone to 3, I'm not to sure yet if this is a good idea to change.
My Vodafone contract is still going and I have 14days to dump the 3 sim if I want.

Currently pay £17.95 for 600mins, 600texts, 500mb data. i always go over my data tho and its an extra £5 for another 500mb so its actually about 22.95pm

3 have given me a 1month rolling contract for £10 a month, 100mins, 3000texts, and 1gb of data. I don't use my phone much for calls or texting, more for data.

On a side note, if you go here: Mobile Coverage Check it shows you via. a Google Maps graphic where the networks coverage is and where it doesn't cover.

HTH. .

I get a very weak 3 signal at home (have to be nearish a window) and when I am at work I get a full signal. However, I have lost count of how many times the 3G is broken on my local mast so I am unable t do anything webby whilst at work, thus I have to work more.

In short, avoid. As I will be going back to O2 when my contract is out.

I'm not on "3", but to be honest I only even hear bad things about it, whereas the other main players don't get any more bad press than the rest, suggesting that indeed the 3 network is the shitest around.

could be worth noting, t mobile, virgin, and orange all share each others signal now. I stick with vigin as i found orange, vodafone, and three to be bunch of twats, and virgins got a good mobile net thing going which i use a lot.

When I shopped around for pricing and tariffs for my current phone, 3 network seemed to beat everyone on their pricing/tariffs by a mile. Their "all you can eat" data package on the iPhone 4 was the only one of it's kind. I even rang up their customer services to see what the catch was and they said, "There isn't any catch, you can download as much as you want per month". I said, "So, if I connect the phone to a PC and use it as a router to download bluray films all day, every day, I won't get charged?". His reply was, "We actually encourage our customers to do this".

Anyway, a simple Google search reveals this: https://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews12640.html

Was on Three, changed to O2 end of last year, would take a lot to go back.

When I had a signal and it managed to sustain a 3G connection, it was very fast but I could only make/receive calls from two places in my house and when out-and-about it was erratic.

The map they have on their site is very generous, don't take it as read that you will get a signal just because it says you are covered.

On the plus side, their customer service was very good, no complaints there.

[The Original Muzza]

Have been with 3 for about 6 years now and can not complain at all. Really good coverage and reception. 3G almost all the time, even when in other cities. The only company I've ever heard bad things about is T-Mobile.
Everytime I hear someone say "I've heard Three are shite, would never go with them" they always admit they've never actually been with them.

Have heard bad things about Orange in the past as well. Best reviews are always Vodafone and O2 (just three seems to be favourable in Aberdeen).

I use 3 for mobile broadband and it's fantastic. Cheap to boot.

[bootsbiker]

I am on Virgin... Think they pig back on T mobile... I justt changed my contract to a rolling 30day for 6quid a month.. That gives me 200min and 3000 texts... I don't need a smart phone so it is a good deal atm...

T-mobie is good I think and I have never had a problem.
