About to change my (out of contract) 3GS phone for the iPhone4. I am
currently with O2. However, I am pretty unsatisfied with their data
network although (for me) their tariffs are OK. 3G coverage seems
spotty and gets overloaded easily. What you guys think of Vodaphone or
Orange for data.? How do they compare with O2?

Vodafone's allowances look better this time round, and they seem to do
fine with data (I'm on O2, my wife on Vodafone). But...if it's purely
about the 3G coverage, 3 seem to consistently win all the surveys.
Never been on them myself, but I'm currently debating whether to
upgrade to the iPhone 4 at launch on O2, or whether to wait it out
until December and switch over to 3.


Cheers,
Ian

I had a look at the reviews for 3, and they were not good. Anybody
else had experience of 3?

I only left 3 becasue they didn't have an iPhone and I really wanted it.
Otherwise I wouldn't, they were fine with me and the signal where I live
was better than O2 is.

For data, three has *really* good coverage, though complaints are common in
heavily built up areas (ie london) about difficulty getting connected and
staying connected at speed. I have had them for mobile broadband and found
it very impressive.

I am in a similar position, out of contract, seriously considering Orange or
three, but the lack of visual voicemail (oe even any idea what it is) by
these networks is making me think twice.
