Hi all,
Im thinking of migrating to T-Mobile and would llike some opinions about their service and overall reliability.
Im currently with Orange and think theyare fantastic (only if they would let me have that new SE for free!)
I would recommend Orange but most of my friends are on T-mobile and their tariff seems to be well balanced.
Cheers

Not T-Mobile, they have the worst signal coverage in the UK and the call costs are the dearest of all networks. And the customer services are rubbish

Sorry I can't help with the T-Mobile query but I have one along similar lines so this seems to be a sensible place to post it.
I have been on Vodafone for about 6 years with no problems but I am thinking of changing to O2 because I want a K700 that has not been f*!ked up. What is O2's service, reception like compared with Vodafone's.
Thanks in advance for any advice. |

I have been on t-mobile for about 7 or 8 years and find their tarrifs very good compared to the others but they are a bit slow on bringing out new handsets.

I remember when Orange would take, what seemed like, forever to release new handsets.

True, although they do still insist on branding their phones.

I'd stick with Orange - good customer services, fairly good coverage (except where I live!!), and at least they don't molest their phones as much as Vodafone do!! I was on T-Mobile a couple of years ago, the signal was pretty poor in my area (midlands). Their GPRS charges are also ridicoulous!! 
btw, I'm on O2, their signal is perhaps slightly worse than Vodafone's, but I think they're cheaper, and the differential between the 2 net's signals isn't that big a deal.

To be fair, there really isn't much between the four main UK networks these days. All the networks will probably have areas where they have poorer coverage which the others don't and as for the price plans, I can't really find much that is different. Before someone posts a full list of price plans I should say that I am speaking in a general context i.e. one's mobile bill is unlikely to become significantly cheaper if one switches between the four main UK networks and maintains the same usage patterns.

I'm not thinking of migrating to T-Mobile, it was another chap who was thinking of doing that, the chap who started this thread in fact.
In what capacity did you work in the mobile industry?
