    I've been with them 6 years and in the past 2 years the coverage has improved 200%, I find that around wombwell on a cloudy day it can still be a little hit and miss

    Mi dad used to have a phone on 3

    And had no problems, but my ex's brother and a mate of mine from uni both had one on 3 had had trouble with service.

    Could have sworn that someone I used to work with also said that they've reduced their coverage in this area, but that could have been another network so you'd have to look into it.

    I'm on 3, and have never had a problem with coverage anywhere I've been. I might be wrong, but haven't 3 and Orange networks been amalgamated? Sometimes my phone is connected to Orange, perhaps where 3 isn't available?

    My two kids are on 3 and they have never had any problems in the five or six years they've been with them. Get some good deals from them too. If i didn't have a company mobile they'd be my first choice.

    3 have the best coverage of ANY SINGLE network in the UK.
    I and my family all use 3 phones, I have 3 broadband here on the boat and I have never had any signal problems anywhere.
