I got an Everyday 50 which gives me 50 free off-peak mins every day,i think this is what you mean when Orange used to be good,(they stopped this plan last october).
Coverage is the best in the uk(they say 99%).btw,you never mentioned Virgin mobile,why?

I never mentioned Virgin, as they are just one of the piggyback companies, from what I understand it is just the T-mob service under a different name.
And from what I have seen - I would beleive it, they have just as low a standard of coverage as T-mob.
When they got rid of Everyday50 - where u allowed to keep it till the end of the 12 months, or can you stick on that tarrif for as long as you want? |

Probably because it still use the t-mobile network and the fact you can't get the P800 on it. Even when/if they do provide it, you might as well just buy a sim free P800 - it'll cost the same. |

(there are`nt any other mobile providers in the UK, theres a couple of fraud type companies o2, t.mobile, voda.....but they are just stitch up merchants from Romainia i think)
BTW;
I got my p800 2 months ago,
At 4.30 in the morning (2 months before Orange released the p800) i put an Orange sim in it, rang customer services for free & said this; "Hello i`ve bought an import p800 SE phone thats not available in UK & i want the Wap, MMS & internet settings for it"
The answer was this;
OK sir i`ve found them on the computer & i`ve sent them as an SMS auto configurator, thank you for calling,can i help with anything else ?"
And in 5mins the settings were on the phone.
Also you may not know that if you find a tarrif on another network that you like, you can ask Orange & sometimes they will give you that exact deal but on the orange network, it`s called OVP (Orange value promise). if you are with them for a year you can have the "virgin" deal where you continue to be on contract but pay NO line rental.

i have been with tmobile (formerly one to one) since 1994. I wonder why. I have always had to put up with handsets that frankly don't do much and network services that are as old as i have been with the network!
I find that in the past 8 years, i have had to buy handsets offline and often at full retail price. What do other tmobile users think of the network and the availability of good quality phones with useful functions. I have just had a chat with tmobile sales and their argument is that they do much more rigorous testing than all the other networks and that customers seem to prefer that.
I for one am having to fork out a fortune to call all my mates who started on tmobile as they've all now moved to other networks (cross network charges).
Tmobile sales have no indication of when the P800 will be available on the network or even if it will ever be.
Is it time to jump ship? We do not even have GPRS... | |
