I find Vodafone terrible for call quality it always sounds so distorted with a robotic sound to calls. Orange in my opinion has best call quality coming close second O2 but O2 can be quite noisy. When i recorded my voicemail on Orange 3G is was as clear as a landline.

Erm... not quite correct. They have made 500 people redundant out of 10,000 workers in the UK.

Also the annual EPP payment which is based on the company performance, will not be paid out due to not reaching targets. This payment is never guaranteed.

Back to the topic, this network share is good for both companies and in the long term should be good for consumers.

IMO! Voda and TMo have the best networks by a mile!

TMo is unbeatable right now, for data.

In what way do you think they have best networks? Just asking out of interest.

sorry must have mis read it then.

But I agree with you. It is a good thing for both networks.

Goldenface tmob being better is a matter of opinion really. I guess it all comes down to the coverage where you are living as well as what you want for a priceplan. When I had t mob at the time i noticed they mainly focused great coverage on mainly london and the bigger cities not much good in rural area's. Not sure if that has changed now.

But as i said before. I am glad they have this agreement.

Simply because they are the fastest and understand mobile internet use better.

For a long time T Mobile was the only network that really catered for people who used mobile data.

Voda, who currently have the fastest in the UK(7.2Mb) and T Mobile have always had great data packages (web 'n' Walk etc) with the rest playing catch-up.

Orange used to be great but they lost it. If they have a good data package then I don't ,and a lot of people don't know about it and from my experience they have been extortionate when it comes to data use - correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah Orange are slowly getting there with their data plans. think they other the standard 500mb 'unlimited' for free now on most of their £35, 18 month plans. I'm in a decent 3G+ area & the download speed is more than adequate for browsing (but I wouldn't say its 'rocket fast' as advertised on their 3G sim cards!)

I am on Orange pay as you go and with their 3G i find it must faster and more reliable than O2 anyway. T Mobile i have been with them many moons ago but before 3G days. I had a P800 on contract. I know their coverage has improved alot though some people say their 3G is better than their 2G coverage.

I find 0range data very slow mindyou the phone im using is a 6111 to access that on GPRS!

Vodafone seem to do hate it when customers are having stress from there services, yesty I got a shock I thought I was paying £12.50 for 18 months turns out it was 15 then they would charge me £25 the remaining months,

I contacted the eforum and they sorted me out onto a sim only plan,
191 CS don't seem to wanna let you move to these at all lol

O2 currently have a 7.2Mb network, it just depends where you are. And we do an unlimited web bolt-on like 'web n walk' for £7.50 a month. And yes, 'unlimited' with an excessive usage policy of 3GB for mobile browsing, but if you manage to get over 3GB of usage from your mobile in a month then you need to get out more
