I would imagine it depends on the area but in general I would assume they do. Do they have the visual voicemail and data plans? I have noticed since having an iPhone that my texting rate has shot up as it works much better - do they give you enough of that? -- Woody

Do they have the visual voicemail and data plans? It does depend on area. If you live in Ilfracombe O2 is useless. It's not too bad where I live and certainly better than 3 who I was with before. My daughters Vodaphone phones seem to work in more places. I don't know anything about the Voda plans (my daughters have other phones) but I'm on the 35 quid a month job which has 600 minutes and 500 texts (IIRC) which is more than I can ever use, even though my texting has increased now that I have a phone with a decent UI -- Geoff Berrow (Put thecat out to email) It's only Usenet, no one dies.

O2 is ok here but 3 was better (which is odd, as I thought they shared masts). Where I used to live, voda and tmobile were useless, whereas o2 was ok and orange was good. > don't know anything about the Voda plans (my daughters have other > phones) but I'm on the 35 quid a month job which has 600 minutes and > 500 texts (IIRC) which is more than I can ever use, even though my > texting has increased now that I have a phone with a decent UI I am on �35, which is what put me off for so long, that it cost that much for just 600 minutes (my last plan was 750 mins for �25). I do use a lot more texts now though. -- Woody

But with the extra minutes I stopped using the land line and this quarter I have saved �30. Plus I assume I will be able to sell my phone at the end of the plan. All things considered I'm paying a little more, but am getting a heck of a lot for it. -- Geoff Berrow (Put thecat out to email) It's only Usenet, no one dies. My opinions, not the committee's, mine.
