Are '3' mobile any good?

3's customer service is spectacularly bad. They make British gas appear competent. The coverage in certain areas is literally non-existant and I don't mean just on the tops of mountains...

NO!! I can't stand 3. I had really poor coverage in birmingham, it kept trying to use the 3 network when it could use the normal networks fine anyway. LG phone broke and was useless. I am on O2 now, much better.

Customer service is friggin useless half don't speak english or even understand whats going, they are useless, they messed up my contract and are charging £10 extra/month and won't cahnge it.

The actual phone service seems okay I got it casue it was cheap and for no other reason, I even got my phone working in Mexico and the US.

If you go with them just be aware they are total **** wits if you ever have to call customer service, a glass hammer is more use then are. But it seems to work, had it for err about 3 ish years now. I pay direct debit on contract.

Its the cheapest one out there for sure, I believe they use the orange 2.5 system when you can't get a video signal. My sim is acient , so i still track off the O2 netwrok, so I pay cheap rate for O2 not too bad.

I use my phone for calling and text nothing else don't the point of anything esle, so I have just call and text package. Oh its seems to work in Bucks, around the Aylesbury area if that any help to folks.

i had a 3 phone for a while pay as you go but when phoning or texting another network it was really really expencive, i stick to virgin to virgin now 3p per text.
