ok thanks so why is it if you buy the phone through 3 you don't need to download app for three wifi calling

Cos they have now updated their software so that the Wifi calling feature is embedded, same as EE and Vodafone.

o2 is the worst by a country mile for me. Three is pretty good as as is EE. Vodafone a bit patchy.

Ever had any issues on 3 with signal. Maybe poor where you are, but the same can be said of any network in any particular location, at any particular time.

Other service provider might have signal as they work on GSM network.

CDMA is locked software for Three.

Prasad is talking that which falls from a bulls backside.

Maybe he didn’t pay attention in his class and somehow thinks CDMA is WCDMA (which is simply a carrier interface for UMTS and HSPA).

Three is a GSM based network which has UMTS and LTE technology rolled out (just like EE, Vodafone and o2), as you’ve been told a number of times...

Don’t think ‘445 likes Three... here their signal outperforms O2 and Vodafone in terms of coverage in nearby villages (no signal in either case) and a speed test a moment ago gave 76 Mb/s download, 16 Mb/s upload.

Add the ability to watch TV without eating up your data allowance, for no additional charge with “Go Binge”, seems pretty good to me.

C**p performance compared to what?

Maybe i was a little harsh on them. they do have some good deals. But i guess we all rate mobile phone providers on the signal we get at home for me O2 are the best by far, but I hear some people saying their signal is bad with O2. But I do get angry when I keep getting told a load of rubbish and lies when you get through to there helpline. The latest being about GSM/CMDA.

Do you think 3, Vodafone, EE and others use overseas customer service staff for their superior skills?!

Why would you expect some Indian guy working in a call centre in India to have such in-depth technical knowledge of U.K. networks?

He isn’t employed to be a technical adviser, that isn’t his job...
