    Looking at the maps, it is basically non-existant in NI at the moment. They are due to merge their 3G network with Three and this will be completed at the end of 2010, which will dramatically increase their 3G coverage in NI. They are also due to merge with Orange and although not announced, I expect their networks to merge as well.
  • Never mind 3G, tmobile phone signal is rubbish! I just had to buy out of my contract as service almost non existent, and drops calls, doesnt send texts etc

    Gone back to O2, (moved originally from them at start of year) but right now they cant be any worse

    Good luck!

  • I'm using an iPhone with TMobile in Derry area, only recives edge network, useable but slow. I'm on a Solo deal for £15 which is 350 mins and unlimited texts. They've given me free internet until end of January waiting for Orange to linkup with them. I get 3g when I'm in Belfast but nowhere else in NI.

    Going to persevere until then wait and see.

    I can second this!

    T-Mobile's service over here is pretty rubbish. 3G VERY limited if non-existant, awful reception pretty much everywhere, missed calls, missed texts... you name it.

    Just ditched them for Orange, good deal I feel! Always in reception, lovely 3G service too.

    Mind you, Orange and T Mobile are soon to be one and the same.
  • What kind of deal did you get with Orange?
