Which network similar to 02?

PJB

I have 02 at the mo and the service is good in the house and around but the customer service is worse than awful!

Wife has t-mob and daughter Orange, neither of which have good service. Does anyone know if/which service provider will give similar to 02 or am i forced to go back with them!

Thanks in advance

Well you've only Voda to try. Get a free Voda payg sim and try it. Coverage will depend on many factors, trying a sim is the best way to find out.

Will the phone make a difference, want/hope to get the Desire!

Simplest way, order the Desire online, you're then covered by the distance selling regs, you have 7 days to send it back if it doesn't work for you. Just be careful where you order from, some retailers won't take them back if they've been used !

Phone shouldn't make a difference, as said above, get a PAYG sim and try before you buy.
Most people are concerened about coverage, and coverage has got a lot better in the last 5 years but the various networks use different 'channels' to transmit the calls over the air. It is these 'channels' or frequency/wavelength differences that can cause indifferent 'coverage' issues when you are inside a house. Depending on whether the house is brick, stone or timber frame, different network providers will have different coverage results. Apparently, one of the major provides uses a wavelength that is exactly the same as a domestic house brick, this means someone living in a brick house will get interference(and with digital this means poor signal) whilst someone living in, say, a cave, could receive excellent signal.

I'm in the same position and currently deciding whether to go Giffgaff or Tesco. The giffgaff site is awful so I'm thinking Tesco.

Exhortation

I agree that the giffgaff site is pretty bad but I do like their business model. Tesco CS is abysmal and I honestly wonder if Tesco actually run the business or if it's handled by a third-party on their behalf.
