3G signal can be pretty dire. Their customer support is absolute rubbish, and should you ever take phone insurance with them.....

I'd stick with one of the other 4. Orange have good signal all round, but for data T-mobile steal it lately.

the wife is intrested in video calling, how does t mobile and other networks compare also what about handsets?

[gadgetman]

All 4 networks do 3g & video calling.

What handsets are you after, and what exactly do you want from a monthly tarriff? ie texting, off peak, peak calls...

3 looks cheap with orange at the moment. Orange and T mobile work where i am was looking at nokia N73, 6288 and the guy in the 3 shop rated the 6120. But i am after a cheap tariffff

When you say cheap, define cheap and what you're actually expecting inclusives wise.

Many tarrifs are circa

Been using 3 for a while now and find them very good.

Call centres have improved tons since the old days. Ive had two phones repaired by them. The handset was picked up next day and returned to me within three days (thats without insurance by the way).

3 also have better reception than any other network where I live and I have had no problems with reception anywhere else ive been.

My only gripe with 3 is their dire selection of handsets, they really need to update the handsets on offer.

Other than that I recommend them 100%
