Thanks for all the input, everyone. Of course I still haven't made my decision! I would go with O2 but am conerned about the coverage factor. Everyone says such different things. -- bellajonez at yahoo dot co dot uk

I have never had *no* signal anywhere I have been in london where I should have had it, ie, out of the tube. There are a few times where the data has been on slow, near old street station, parts of the overground tube etc, but nothing that would particulalry put me off getting them. If I had your choice, I would go for O2. I don't really much liek them, but I just feel that vodafone are likely to put some silly restriction on it (this could be my own prejudice against them though) and orange i have heard dont have the network for it. And my friend has just got an orange one and had a problem setting up her MMS, I don't know why it needed setting up if she just bought it. -- Woody

Yeah not many people have a phone that can't handle multipart texts, and they are the types I wouldn't send a multipart text to, generally because they're unlikely to even know how to get into the texts if their phone is that old. -- Jon B Above email address IS valid. <http://www.bramley-computers.co.uk/> Apple Laptop Repairs.

Where does the �90 come from? I am almost dyscalculic. -- bellajonez at yahoo dot co dot uk |
