I was in the Trafford Centre yesterday with a mate of mine, hes on 02 im on Orange, and hes getting fed up that he cant get any 3g reception on his I phone 4, i told him its 02 as their 3g reception is very patchy, I have an i phone 4 as well and its fine on mine.
Anyway we went into one of the 2 02 stores in the centre, and he tried the i phone 4 that was on demo in their store, that phone did not have any 3g either, and then one of the people who works in the store came over, I asked him whats 02s 3g reception is like in the uk , he said 99 percent, i said dont you mean 2g , he said no 3g , he would not have it any other way, and then he showed me his phone which was an htc phone, he said "there you go i have g on my own" i said that is 2g, he said no htc phones dont show a 3g sign , I said yes they do or an H he said I was wrong, as his shop phone had never shown 3g as g is 3g on htc.
At that point we left the store , my mate got a pay as you go sim from Orange , we used a sim cutter he put it into his sim free I phone, and now he has 3g in a lot more places.
