Can you recomend a reliable network, please?

I have a psyg Tesco moble, which has been very good for a few years. However the last two monts has been really bad. Limited service, being cut off not being able to call anybody, just bad!
|I am ready to change now.
Can anybody recomend a network that will deliver, whether indors or in the woods?
Many thanks :)

  • Tesco use the O2 network. If you are looking for a cheap sim then try Virgin

    They do PAYG, sim only and contract. They use the T-Mobile network.
    In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.

    I've had network problems with 3 in my flat, but Tesco mobile (o2) has great coverage over my flat. In Asda stores my 3 phone has (oddly enough) great coverage too. But the customer service is something less then diserable.
    Best thing you can do is google.
    It is what it is :wall:

    There is no such thing. Read the Forum. You will see reception complaints about every network as all have black spots.

    I reckon the only network that guarantees 100% reception is the one Captain Kirk uses - he always seems to get through.

    It also depends abit on your phone itself from my experiance. I have a blackberry and the boyfriend has a Samsung Jet, and we can sit the phones right next to each other and i have full bars on signal and hes lucky to get one bar! We're both on the 3 network by the way.
