Hi There,

I'm after the wisdom of the group. I have two phones, one personal, one
work. They used to both be on Orange but coverage is poor in a couple
of places I regularly stay so I decided to change the work one to
another provider. I moved to a Virgin SIM-only 30 day plan and have only
just found out they don't do diverts which is less than helpful in some
other locations.

So, I'm looking for an operator that will do:
30 day SIM only contracts
supports diverts (no answer, unreachable, all)
and I would like it if they did PHS stuff like set and reset of the
voicemail spool

Apart from Virgin, who doesn't do diverts? And, apart from Orange,
Virgin, who else does PHS stuff?

Thanks

Some of the features the O/P is looking for (e.g. separate voicmail
icon) were offered by Orange (originating with them being DCS based,
before it was part of the GSM spec).

Indeed, I should really have said PCS, but had a brain fade.

Anyway, who does that? (I know Orange and Virgin do, by experience, I
presume that T-Mobile also do - is that right?)

I thought that PCS originally referred the "new" 1800Mhz operators Orange and T-Mobile
differentiating them with the then more established 900Mhz operators Vodafone and BT Cellnet

Of course I could be completely wrong.
