im looking at the iphone. the best deals seem to be with 3
i was with them 3yrs ago & had no problems with them untill it was time to leave them,took over a month (with sevral repeated calls & a few 2hr visits to the shop) just to leave them ..
so anyone had any isues with them lately

Can't offer any help but this also relates to me. I'm looking at a £35pm iPhone deal with a £69 upfront charge and would like people's advice on the network or even better, if you have an iPhone on 3?

I am also looking to get an iphone. My contract with Orange ends in April, but I was told I can upgrade in January.

If your on contract, you can try and see if they will price match. The deal with Three, seems pretty good but I am not a fan of Three as I have mobile broadband with them and have had nothing but problems.

I really hope Orange will price match Three's offer.

We got this deal today both my OH and I.

Get home with the phones like to silly little kids..Put it through I tunes ect ect to get either 1 bar single or just it saying searching thats inside the house and outside the house.

Were really disappointed now and feel ripped of and just wished we'd stayed with orange

When you phone 3 you get some ones whos first words aren't english that doesnt bother me only the fact you can't understand what they are saying. when you ring the shop it just rings and no-one answers it.

I had the Iphone 4 on Three, and it was by far the most robust data network I have used the iPhone on, including T-Mobile, Vodafone and O2. Beds/Herts/Cambs for info.

We don't seem singles
Three roads down there is a block of flats with mobile phone masts on
you go in to our bedroom which is closer to the masts than the living room you still get a no single or one bar

I have the Iphone 3gs with 3 UK not had a problem with them but i did do my homework when i first joined them i.e. check on there coverage map and check up who there back up signal where with and this was Orange so no probs here .....ohh yes and also my monthly contract is £15 a month with loyalty bonus added.

alejandro27

So their coverage checker is reliable?

I've had no problem with signal strength for calls (non-3G) with Orange. The 3G coverage is not perfect, but the only places I've found so far with no coverage are in the middle of nowhere.
