Three sometimes no phone reception....

Hello All,


I live in NW London and a friend mentioned that in past 2 years she gets every few months no Three reception to accept or make calls. Have you found this also? What is Three doing about this.


I want to move from O2 to Three as they offer unlimited data at a very good low price. I don't think I have had no mobile reception ever where I live with O2.

How is Three for you? What are they doing to improve continuous mobile reception?


Thanks. :T

    I've never seen or heard of this happening, either on my phone on Three or anyone else I know on Three.

    I've been in places without signal (as I have with EE, O2 and Vodafone), but never what you describe.

    I've used Three around the UK for the past couple of years but haven't experienced that.


    I've used all the UK networks and there are places where some work and some don't and places where non work.
  • You can ask them for a box to have at home that plugs into broadband. You get 5 bars of signal even in the broom cupboard.

    As for signal issues, on my drive down the motorway I notice there is about 7 miles of no coverage whatsoever (there used to be).

    I have to say one thing, for an indian operation (ongoing service) they are excellent. I wish they would move to my bank.
