    Default Best Mobile Network?

    Ive been with every single operator now (in the UK)!

    o2
    Vodafone
    Orange
    T-Mobile
    Virgin
    3

    And i would have to say i am not sure which is the best one!

    Im stuck between Vodafone and o2! I like vodafone because of there high quality service, such as easy topup's MMS and good quality calls!

    But o2 has got great features aswell! Like call and text services at cheap prices! Like 200 free text per month on pay & go when you put somthing like £15 topup on! Also cheap calls at £0.2 pence per min!

    I am currently on vodafone, but thinking of geting a new phone on o2!

    But out of all the networks ive been on, 3 has to be the worst!
    Limited coverage, MMS problems and having to pay £15 per month on Pay & Go!

    Anyway, whats your experiences?
    Also, i have just remembered! Tesco have there own network now! Ive never used it, but does anyone know what its like?

    But for now, i think ill have to stick with vodafone!

    i think 3 has the best offers via contract but the downside being you have to use a 3 handset o2 would be best on payasyougo as it offers those xtras such as free texting and in general call prices are cheap so just be like me and keep both networks on 2 phones

    Tesco piggy backs off the O2 network, so in terms of signal strength it'll be the same as that

    im not into texting at all. and most of the people i know are on t-mobile. i only really make my calls in the evenings or weekend so any daytime calls are minimal. for me i reckon vodafone is best over all for coverage and reliablity. but for my uses t-mobile gets the vote. i have 2 fones a payg and a contract, offering free evenings and weekends to tmobiles and landlines. the payg is for all other calls. a £10 top up will last me about a month or 2.

    Mine is company phone, so not really into free texts etc as it is essentially free for me. I have had all networks except 3, and am currently on vodafone, and think in terms of service and coverage, its the best. I found O2 shite, but that was a few years ago now, and things may have improved since then.

    for topping up 15 pounds amonth on o2 pay and go you get 300 text and 150 mins to any network in off peak time including weekend plus you get your 15 quid calling credit

    i dont think any pay and go service can match that

    i use vodafone, always have apart from a 1 year spell on o2 plus seeing how the o2 business was run made me swear never to use o2 especially for customer service

    plus vodafone have big posters all over the place just now about how good they are and they have the least dropped calls.
