02 or 3

Options
I have been accepted for a contract for both of these companies. 3 on one month only and simplicity 12 month for 02 and I cant decide which company to stay with.

I know with how bad my credit is your lucky to be accepted for 02 and the signal rocks where I live, but with 3 you can cancel it in a month if you dont want to continue. What would you suggest?

I am tempted to cancel with 3 and stay with 02.
Help would be appreciated thank you. :)

    Depends what the signal is like, and what you want? Minutes texts data??
    Personally I'm a big three fan , I get brilliant coverage with them. 3G speeds are the best out of all the other networks.
  • Hi thanks for the response.
    For signal I get 3 bars on 3 and 6 on 02 so I am taking the 02. on 3 i get 300 minutes, 3000 texts and 1 GB of data for £15 but on 02 i get 600 minutes, unlimited text and 500 mb of internet plus free wifi for £15.50 (plus all the rewards and everything) so I am going with 02.

    Also it helps that the nearest o2 shop is 9 miles away, (I live in somerset( but the nearest 3 shop is 17 miles away)

    Have you tried chitter-chatter (t-mobile)?

    Or talkmobile (vodafone): 750+500+500Mb for 6x£12.

  • I would say it depends on the phone you use. I have an Iphone 3gs and have been with O2 for ten years. The 3G signal on o2 is poor and slow all over the midlands!
  • I had an iphone 3Gs on 02 about a year ago and it was brilliant.

    Not only this 'deal' is not great, it is not even good.

    BenJonno your recent posts make me thinking that you are just building your post count.

    EDIT: and I was right! Spam attack started and reported.
    What a waste of time/efforts!
