Default T-Mobile any good??

I currently have a three phone but they are bit lame, I mean they customer service isn't great some of time, commuication for them isn't so good!

Is T-Mobile any good now? I had one a phone with them about 9 years ago, but not since then. Are they generally a good network, good coverage and works and doesn't break too often? They are offering some good deals at the moment as well.

I was thinking of getting this phone seems ok,

pretty soild. Which is good as I tend drop them alot. I don't need anything like a blackberry.

What have you lot got, commets?

I have a tocco ultra on Orange, but the again 02 is the only network with decent signal round here. I could have gotten an iPhone for the same price and im kicking my self for not doing that. But depends what you want and where abouts you are etc

I`ve been with T Mobile for more than 12 years and would recommend them. I get coverage in most places except for the areas where all networks experience difficulty. If ever i`ve had to ring them I`ve found them to be excellent and the price plans seem very competitive. The network doesn`t break and the only phone i`ve had problems with was my last sony erricson.... it was a touch pad type phone and was a pain in the bum!

Where do you get t-mobile coverage claire? I've been with them for about ten years, and the reception just gets worse! I can't get a signal in the South, at the AR it was none existant. Ipswich ain't so bad though, up here if I move away from the kitchen sink (Rictus seems to think thats where I belong..lol) the signal breaks. If I sit on my sofa and move my head an inch it breaks signal. Everyone at work gets great signals on their networks, I get one bar, if I touch my nose, stand on a chair, and do star shapes!
Its terrible, I'm going 02 when my contract is up!



However if you are in France...its great!

I find tmobile reasonable.

Signal is not the best but been with them a while.

They had the phone I wanted at a reasonable tariff.

Job sorted.

If Vodafone had the storm2 then i would have got that.

i was with t mobile for about 5 years but found that their signal was getting worse daily so i changed to vodaphone.

i cannot fault t mobile with their customer service and always found them very helpful when i had to contact them.

T mobile signal is guff. No point having a good contract if you can't use your phone

O2 is the best

lol, not a ten yr contract I just demand a nice phone and bargain a good price for their contract by threatening to leave if they don't do it for the phone I want.....which is usually free!

and this is the main reason for staying, customer service is very good, can't abide waiting for ages to talk to someone who ends up being a dumbo at the end of the phone, who I can't uderstand as they aren't from this side of the water!

Sorry if I'm reiterating anything anybody just said, I had CBA to read.

I just bought a new phone. O2 have the best signal standard, I remember seldom getting no signal. It's then really followed by Virgin as far as I know. T-Mobile, Vodaphone, 3 are all renowned for not-so-good signal.

Most of the time Virgin and O2 have the best deals too, I recently got a Tocco Lite for £60 (before Jan sales) and Virgin are doing a deal for £10 a month, 200 minutes and Unlimited texts, if you're interested. I found O2 had good customer service when I had a problem, no so much for Virgin.
