change this into a poll i reckon.

Cos all your getting is peoples personal experiences which are always going to clash :lol:

i pretty much always used vodafone, went to 3 for a couple of years, they were ok but when i had a 3 phone the cheapest top was £15 instead of vodafones £5 but that was PAYG then i went back to vodafone when i went pay monthly had a crap nokia N95 8GB (nokia's fault it was crap!) then a blackberry Storm and now a Blackberry Torch and the service is good and the customer service folks are awesome the only time i had an issue was around december when i had to wait 5 days for a phone which was on next day delivery, this was because the delivery company (DPD) had a van out my way that morning then there was a light dusting of snow and they said they couldn't get out of the depot, so not vodafones fault really. i don't see myself leaving vodafone anytime soon

I originally started out with Vodaphone all they did was mess me around and fook me off basically.. ended up they put a extra 6months onto my contract without my permission then it took me 4 out of the 6 to get it took off plus my number was constantly harassed by 3rd party companies and vodaphone.

I have been with orange for around 3 years now and they are fantastic never had an issue with them OR SIGNAL

My other half is with T-mobile and never has signal where i will have full even though they are meant to use the same signals now? :S

Exactly. People on contract baffle me. Waste of money IMO.

Depends, taking out a 500 year contract to get a free phone is a waste of money.

On the other hand, get the phone you want from cash convertors and go on a rolling 1 month sim only jobby and there's some utter bargains.

I've been with Orange for 15 years now and wouldn't even consider changing networks.

Any problems i have had have been dealth with very quickly and this includes getting

new handsets when old ones die...and now they've joined up with T-Mobile i get a signal

where ever i go.

True story.

AN OWL?

I am with o2. I have no issues. I am on pay as you go. I put £15 a month on and get 300 mins of calls and unlimited text's Cant grumble. I also never have a problem with a signal

was with o2 for years, been on vodafone the last 2 or so, no issues, good customer services, 600 mins, unlimited texts and 1gb or internet & 1gb wifi, £15 a month, good signal, 3g coverage isnt as good as o2 but if they're merging happy days

I would go O2, I've had 3 contracts with them and they all been sweet. I used Orange and thought they were pretty shit IMO, But thats me.

Anything but Orange, they fuck me around with my bills, overcharge me, and i never get any signal. Utter wankers...

Thats the exact same problem i had with them... :?

sod all signal on orange wenever i need it! plus it has never connected to t-mobile even when theres zero orange signal. TWATS!

also if i set up a free friends number it will never connect even when i actually have a good signal. my old sony ericsson on orange used to swich off when a friend with free magic number called it??? could tell when they'd rung tho as phone was off.

Could this be that the phone isn't unlocked to T-Mobile too...?

02!

Was with O2, but I wanted to add an option onto my contract. They told me they'd have to start a new contract and that'd be about £10 more a month and lose half the things I joined them for in the first place.

So I went to T-mobile, 30 day rolling contract. 3 days in my voicemail still didn't work, my internet didn't work and picture messages didn't work. They told me they'd sort it out 3 times. Then I got a bill off them for £200-odd. Now they're taking me for a dickhead to try and get a PAC code off them and I'm with Virgin.

I'm on orange , o2 and vodafone. o2 i have no issues with, 30 day contract. Orange I've only had for a month or so, but it seems to be ok, if not a little difficult to get signal in some areas. Vodafone, been using a PAYG with them for the past few years, no issues at all.

With O2 currently and never had any problems with them but buying a new phone soon and looking at a network I'd never heard of and that's Giffgaff.

As I'm only interested in pay as you go, and they also run on the O2 network looks good from my point of view. Heard good reviews also, we'll see.

Bumping this topic not only for the company, but the phone itself.

I've been with o2 for years, but they have been a bit testing recently. More the issue, my phone is now brown bread .RIP the N86 8MP (and some might say Nokia themselves..). It's been limping a while, but has been working like a soldier for over three years so i'm happy with it.

But Nokia are shyte now. Windows mobile? Really?

The iphone is made for retards and kids, i want an adult phone. So i'm kinda stuck what to get? I've heard the Samsung Galaxy is good, but i really haven't the first clue, done zero research. I feel old!

Help..?

The iphone is made for retards and kids

Why?

Samsung Note for my next phone.

My Dell Streak is now starting to struggle, but its ok O2 ordered a huge amounts of them as they were going to be popular.....So if anything goes wrong they just replace it with a brand new one. lol.

Ivw got the samsung note, tis a good bit of kit but the battery aint great if you use it alot

I'm fucked off with I-phones and I don't even own one, got two mates with them and every time I try and have a conversation with them on the phone they are constantly breaking up and some times cut off all together. Most conversions go some thing like "hello, hello? Can you hear me? What's that? Your breaking up, hello?" He is more than happy to tell everyone how shit the i-phone is too which makes a change for an iPhone owner :lol:

I've heard the galaxy s3 the one to have atm but my upgrade isn't due yet so not looked too deeply into it. I have a HTC desire HD and its been absolutely spot on, its a fair old size but its 99% screen so its bang on for using the net and what not, infact my laptop died shortly after I got this phone and I haven't felt the need to replace it as my phone does its job just fine. The battery life could be longer and is probably its weak point, but I hear that's an issue with smart phones in general?

As for networks I've been with Orange for 5 or so years and not really had any issues with them. When an old phone was playing up they helped me put it right over the phone and I have my phone insurance through them which has been very handy when ever my phone is looking battered and the contract is nearly up :lol:
