Do u rate O2? I've been on Vodafone for years and recently changed jobs and now got O2. Have to say I'm not impressed. Get cut of loads of calls due to bad signal.

I cant say I rate 02 ...like Virgin they are now fairly pricey..Tesco do some good deal ATM..its always better to do the deal face to face or over the phone at least, you can squeeze better deals out of them that way.

18 months ago I got a Samsung Wave that was up on the site for 25 quid per month, 100 minutes 500 texts 350mb data...by the time id finished with them I had it down to 15 quid, 200 minutes unlimited texts and data...although I dont really bother with the internet on the phone, too slow and too small.

Check first which provider has the best cover in your home area as i assume that where you are generally using it from.

I know that where i live some signals are poor at best on certain networks.

Personally i have been with Vodaphone for years and generally dont have problems.

It's the package price we are talking about what's included for your money.

If you can get unlimited data then you are on to a winner

try 3mobile! They use o2 and t-mobile masts for network coverage and their all you can eat data package is unbeatable! Only company that does it!

The reason they are that cheap though is because the coverage can be really shaky in some parts?

Its terrible down this way..

It is beatable if you read my earlier post and no they aren't the only company.

At the end of the day it's horses for courses. What suits a particular individual and the coverage of where they live

I have an iPhone on orange, been with them for years after being made redundant from voda. Orange and t mobile are the same company now and network share, 3mobile has its own network and doesn't share bandwidth.

Best checking the area you are in and go with the best service provider, car phone warehouse would be able to do this and are pretty unbeatable on nailing down a deal on all networks

I use 3. I know they've had stick in the past, but I've had no problems with signal and reception with them.

I pay £35 a month, 5000 minutes to other 3 users, 2000 minutes to other networks/landlines. 5000 texts and unlimited internet. And I can tether my android tablet to the phone, and connect to the internet on that.

o2 have some good offers and their coverage is generally good - at least it is where we live.

If it's data that your after, o2 3G service is shite - dead slow and stop. We have a few areas up here (and we don't exactly live in the wilds of wanny) where they have a cracking GSM signal but 3G coverage is nil. I spoke to o2 only to be told that the area in question does not carry 3G !

The biggest downside to them is that for the first three months of having my iPhone, over 18's website was constantly blocked which meant I had to keep ringing them up, useless bunch of idiots is the customer services team. Also at least once per month, I cannot access the Internet whilst I'm at work so for me, 3 might be cheap but I can't wait to go back to orange
