When we first moved here our phones with Vodafone were useless. I was told that Orange were the best, just, at reception but I went with Three because I like their tariffs (being the smallest they have to try harder) and I eventually got a femtocell for the house (from Three) so that we have full five bar reception.
I'll admit I'm a bit geeky and have long wondered what kind of reception I could get with Orange so, when out and about (in Brighton) one day, I popped into their shop and bough a very cheap smartphone so that I could test their reception. Which so far is about the same as Three.
As an aside the phone, a Huawei, is very good. It cost £39 and is easy to use, does all the things I expect a phone to do and does it well and now makes me wonder why I, and many others, get so fixated with phone technology and having to have the latest and best.
The graphic above sums it up.
We have JUST got a couple of Samsung mini's after having phones that do only that!!! Must admit they are much better in many many ways and here's to the day I can use my very cheap tariff in France. It is still cheaper to ring on the English mobile than a French pay as you go...
