3G Coverage in N.I?

I've had 3g mobiles ever since they came out i'm sure 5-6 years ago, and I've never been able to make a video call due to poor coverage, I'm on O2 and unless i'm in Belfast which is rare I rarely see 3G on my mobile, Is 3G coverage very poor in N.I?

    You can check o2 coverage here: http://www.webmap.o2.co.uk

    Only cities and large towns seem to be covered in any part of the UK. I don't think o2 has the best 3G set up, you might want to consider a different network.

    Orange is great for coverage. I have been with them for ages but they really are getting a bit stodgy. They seem to be sticking to pricing plans that are tried and tested and doing their best to ignore that the phones have changed totally :(
    Always overestimating...

    o2 3g is usually quite good for me, always pick it up in belfast and newtownabbey.

    If all the years of 3g ive only ever used the video call aspect once and that was when my friend was in Old Trafford and i was sitting in my house, think that was about 5 years ago lol
