We (me and gf) use vodafone. We looked into coverage mostly. You can get coverage maps on most of the big providers (orange, O2, vodafone etc) We still get signal (not 3g, but better than nothing) in some really remote places

I personally only have experience of T-mobile. Generally I get as good reception (broadband) as I do mobile coverage.

In other words dont buy Orange if you cant get coverage at the location where you will be using it mostly.

Also I dont get any coverage when on a train, when I most need it. Instead I have to rely on the wifi t-mobile hotspots provided by various train service providers or station cafe's

Three PAYG - £5 per month 'fair use' (roughly means about a gig allowance)

If your lappy doesn't have a sim slot then a Three dongle is £19.99

If you search my recent posts you'll see I helped Liam out in a similar thread

Edit: found it.... LINKY

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Had t-mobile couldn't get coverage evne thought vodaphone 3 and O2 had 3 g coverage in that area.

As for 3 Don;t seem to get GPRS cover when out of 3g area but that could be me.





Scot's do it better in Kilts.

I have been spending some time in Taunton and got a 3g dongle.

They admit the coverage is no brilliant down there, but I am highly satisfied with speed and allowance.
