Well they've got the strongest 3G coverage in the UK, and their 2G comes from O2, which is one of the stongest in the UK, if not the strongest, so I imagine it's pretty good.
When I had my 3 phone for a couple of years about 10 months ago, I never had a problem with it, infact I often got signal in the middle of nowhere where my friends didn't!
However, their CS is still absolutely, without a doubt, the WORST I have ever dealt with in my life.
O2 must be the only UK network with all their call centres actually IN the UK lol

Is the 3UK 2G signal not with Orange now. That sounds good though their network could surely only go one way. And yes O2 customers services whenever i call them i get through straight away never in a Q no matter what time of day and always very helpful friendly and from the UK. Lol.

Glad to hear we're doing a good job Sean 
And last I heard it was O2, but it may well be Orange now, although why I don't know, because Hutchinson Telecom (now Hutchinson Whompa or however you spell it) sold Orange and set up a whole new phone network (3), so I can't see them going back to the people they sold it to and saying "err, can we borrow it back for a bit?"

Daedalus yes O2 i have found beat all other networks i have been on so far. Been with them now 9 months. As well as customer service i have also never had one single network problem either. I never get a dropped call not once coverage fantastic and O2 pay and go offers so much incentives with the free stuff every month better than any other network. They have improved since Telefonica took over. Do you work at a Call Centre then.

And we've just relaunched Bluebook, so you can backup all your SMS, MMS, contacts, pictures, videos etc online. Apparently all SMS and MMS are automatically backed up online once your registered so you can always get to them
