I was a One2One Customer since 1998, and only canceled my contract this year. I did have an Orange contract on the side too. I loved One2One, they were great until the EVIL T-Mobile (dutch telecom) came along. I was paying 20p a min to other networks at peak rate 4 years ago! Some networks today still come nowhere near that figure. Only canceled because they were getting worse not better. So i jumped full to Orange, which customer service wise seem as good as One2One, and with the bonus of 2 for 1 on Cinema tickets on Wednesday is great, widest choice of price plans possable (since they will match tarrifs).

How people can like Vodafone i will never know, ripoff city. Do not just go off "now" data, go on how they have been over the years.

As for T-Mobile coverage, until 2 months ago, they were the only network you could use indoors where i live, yes the whole village. Now Orange have a trasmitter here too. Every network has black patchs.

Oh sorry wrong thread....

Erm, Would have to be Virgin, great customer service, though they did not respond to my poem letter, so erm, nope still the best.

I can't fault them!

Pricing is good, and i like the little extras they go to, like the big bonus, ok its a bit of skint flint but hey who cares.

I love the weird literarature they send out as well. The last one was great!

the book that they compiled about stupid people..

I've been with both Orange 1999-2003 and Virgin Mob. 2003 to date. Orange had appallning customer services - you may well be talking to pillow, yet on the other hand they coped better with signal problems in the countryside. Yet Virgin Mobile are very cheap and their customer sevices is second to none. However, they can start to patronise the customer and start all this "Hello I'm so and so, and you are .... can we call you by your first name" ... "No, " i reply - but they're trying to put you at your ease - my arse - I mean, would you expect your bank to cal you by your first name if you were using telephone banking? No. So, what difference does it make if you're a mobile company?

O2 has to be the best (on PAYG). I love the fact that I have never been charged to use GPRS, grate for a teenager in a French class looking at them 'adult' websites and winding up the lesbians in the chat rooms.

I was an orange user since 1997 and have recently changed to vodafone. I realise I have made quite a mistake, not because the quality of the calls is bad, quite the opposite, but because of the shoddy customer services, also being charged too much for calls that should be free. GPRS is also slow.

I will be back with orange as soon as my contract period is served.

O2 because I had my first mobile in October 2000, and they sometimes award you with talktime on pay & go.

We share an Orange tarrif, which works out well for us. Orange is also the only reception we can pick up on the Isle of Wight, where in-laws live.

The only network I would never join again is T-Mobile. When a close friend suffered a vicious attack on the tube on her way to visiting us, she was in hospital for several hours.

I helped her call all her credit card companies etc to report the theft of her handbag when she was released from the hospital. All of the companies we dealt with were sympathetic and understanding except T-Mobile. They made her pay for the calls the ****ard who attacked her made to all the females in her phone memory before she was able to report it, even though she reported the theft to them at the first opportunity she had. I will never forget how upset she was about that.

I turned down a job interview with them for the same reason.

Not trying to be nasty or anything here, but when you get a phone they try and ram phone insurance down your neck. It normally covers the cost of calls if the phone was stolen, because the owner is liable for the calls with all networks. Surly its her own fault for not having insurance? As thats what its there for. If she did have insurance then i would be very upset too. Did she have insurance? I am just curious.
