    I have noticed Vodafone and o2 have been sharing masts a lot more in Norfolk. Maybe it'll make Norfolk bearable at some point. Everyone seems to have mixed experiences. There is a good deal on the Tesco Mobile / o2 at the moment and I'm going to get it and try it out. If its crap I have 14 days to cancel it.

    Vodafone had a contract with Eastern Electricity (when it was called this) whereby they had to guarantee coverage across all Norfolk by. Certain date or they would lose the contract. if I didn't get my 40% discount with Orange, I would go back to Vodafone, but their customer service used to suck when I was with them.

    I'm with Orange and find it ok most places.

    Norwich was one of Threes showcase areas when they first started and they have masts going up quite a lot around here.

    O2 were ok when I used to be with them, but may main problem with them was network congestion and getting a 'line out'.

    Everywhere I go in Norwich seems to have a poor 3 signal. Even roaming onto Oranges 2G (Although getting rare) or just having no service at all.

    I only really get Orange and o2 coverage at home indoors (I live in the middle of suburbs and get a weak signal on most networks. I used to get 3 at home but don't anymore.)

    That’s strange, I don’t experience any difficulties, I'm here in Norwich now and have a good signal. Maybe it’s your phone?
  • I live near Diss and all networks are terrible in our village. Driving along the A140 to Norwich its hit and miss with orange and T-mobile.

    3 has more masts in Norwich than anyone else.

    T-mobile/Orange are probably best now, especially with Orange's coverage of the coast.

    Vodafone is decent

    O2 is the worst
  • I heard, T-Mobile is Good.

    I have a friend on T-Mobile. He says its ok coverage wise but call quality is not amazing and they cap the data speeds a lot.
  • Vodafone is best so far here (norwich). I am on t mobile and get no signal in my flat at all lol. Should say my DH has vodafone and anyone who comes round on vodafone always has a signal :(
