The cost relates to the phone that you get with your contract.

if you want a new phone every

12 - 18 - or even 24 months your going to be stung.

s4 unlimited data unlimited texts 500 mins

£26 p/m

T-mobile

its also cheaper and better than my last provider o2.

T-Mobile. 600 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited internet plus phone. £20 a month. Not bad.

Got my upgrade in two months. May go for a HTC this time. But, contemplating moving from T-Mobile. Their service is a bit shit at times.

EE has been having a lot of trouble with the mast at Bardon Hill in Leicestershire. Apparently it's only affecting those with a 4G phone. Not sure if this is in any way related tothe OP's problem, I know her phone won't be using that particular mast but Walsall isn't that far away, perhaps the mast nearest to them is experiencing similar issues. Anyway, EE are saying that if the service is still down after 72hrs they will provide compensation.

EE is a mix of orange and t mobile with 3 piggy backing the network so any of those 3 will all give similar coverage. Due to the mergers masts are being combined and some removed but the coverage should improve once all the upgrades are completed. The same as O2 and Vodafone are going through at the moment. You may find signals getting worse before they improve, but they will improve to form much better and quicker networks. The price you pay is dictated more by the phone and type of contract you have rather than the coverage you get or expect to get. If people weren't so PC about not wanting phone masts "on their doorstep" coverage would be much improved.

For that price I'd want a free weekend in Paris once a year too!

That's a lot of money to pay every month for a mobile!

3 hasn't piggy-backed on Orange's 2G network for a year or 2 now. Although I believe it still does in Northern Ireland, presumably because they haven't invested in their network there as they have in the UK mainland.

And you should check your house contents insurance before taking out separate mobile phone insurance!

It me be something worse than temporary . I am with ee and wish I hadn't renewed from orange and went elsewhere . at home I barely get a signal strong enough to text and can never call on phone despite ee telling me 4g would give a better signal and their coverage checker showing great coverage. That I believe is wrong yet you are screwed into a contract. Let's giggle about that shall we

Maybe they should send someone out to your house to check that the signal reaches you throughout your house? You have just said you renewed with them. It's their fault that you renewed your phone contract with them when you know for sure you don't get signal at home? I would make you pay just for being stupid.

i do wonder is people are getting 3g and 4g coverage mixed up here.....

the reason why EE could do this 1st is that in the orange/tmobile merger a lot of the signal masts overlapped... so they could take some of the 3g masts and convert them to 4g straight away without affecting coverage...

I lost signal most of last night which to be fair was frustrating but it didn't affect me hugely.

I'm not over the moon about it obviously but I think some people are going a bit over the top about it.

In a world completely dominated by technology we have to appreciate that maintenance will be required at some point and not everything will run smoothly 100% of the time.

Always is gonna cost if you want a newer and popular phone unfortunately. But the fact you can't use it, is a different matter.

If not happy with what EE have said after a complaint was made, contact Offcom.

Nice to see that one provider, 3, i think, are finally not charging for 0800 numbers. Totally ridiculous that 0800 numbers although free on landline are charged by some mobile companies.

Switch to 3.

Rolling out 4G this year over much of the country and upgrading service on 3G contracts with no extra charges or change to contract periods.

So the limited internet access on 4G that EE and Vodafone charge a fortune for will be way more expensive than the unlimited access you'll get on 3 for £34 a month (or about £18 on sim only)!!

Bwahahaha!!

Its amusing reading this last year O2 had days down Vodafone concentrate only on the cities and 3's coverage is laughable EE is the biggest provider now and far more coverage than the rest but you are still going to have problems its still better coverage and a better service according to which though.

I had a text apologising for loss of service too.

On a slightly different note, does anyone else find their data allowance gets swallowed up quicker these days?

I had an iPhone 3GS on orange and never went over my 1gb limit once in four years. Now I've got a 5s on EE and I'm going over the limit with a week/10 days to go.

I've turned everything off I can possibly think of (inc background app refresh). I googled advice on that. I also have the problem if I don't stream any video etc.

All I do is browse websites (including a fair bit of fabbing, check emails and look at Facebook and Twitter.

I think facebook may be a possible culprit. Five minutes on there seems to use lots of Mb, according to my data usage app.

My brother had the same issue and he contacted his provider and I can't remember what they said was using it but with a week it was a quarter of what he had previously been using. Try it it can't harm.

You aren't screwed into a contract at all. Firstly you have a cooling off period and secondly there are laws that protect you if the service they offer is not good enough. Did you look into that at all? Have you told them its shit signal?

Paying £8 a month on EE on a £36 a month contract. How...... Moaned like hell at them because low no signal most the time. Have to admit I'm leaving them soon. As no point in paying when I'm now living in poor signal area anyway.

Yeah, I will do. I have heard some people saying the culprit is the new IOS operating system too, so I might pop to the apple store and speak to their experts.
