1) Vodafone - Never had half the problems I'm having with o2 when I was on Vodafone!

2) T-Mobile - Were always OK for me when I was on PAYG with them

3) Orange

4) o2 - Whether its signal problems, to incorrect billing, to being sweared at by customer service staff - My daily experience with o2 never goes without hitch!

I only mentioned customer services as the negative (and coverage was rather patchy round home at the time, it's been padded out since then)

It was there launch of pre-pay (being so cheap an all) that got me into having a mobile in the first place

Being a Sony Ericosson mobile user means that messages now arrive when they are too big, whenever i tried on Orange PCS i just got a link to the online version which i wouldn't view on my mobile (not that i bother with MMS as it's a total rip off)

Was it not One2One who lauched Pay as you go?

Was it not One2One that was the first and ONLY to give FREE voicemail to everyone.

When i was with One2One back in 2000 i was paying

Text Messages, 5p. Yes 5p! to other One2One customers, and 10p to non One2One customers. While other network were charging 12p!!!!!

Calls to Land Lines , 5p a minute ALL THE TIME. No other network at the time could touch that price!

Calls to One2One customers, 10p a minute ALL THE TIME, once again cheaper than other networks.

Calls to Other Networks 20p a minute ALL THE TIME. So at peak rate 20p to another network. On most plans Vodafone were charging 45p a MINUTE!! 55p on some!

I pay more than that now! Its stupid! I could go on as to why One2One were so good, but i do not want to bore you.

So why are T-Mobile better since they

1) Go rid of the 5p texts to same network

2) Made call charges go up

3) Changed from a Nokia to a Sony Erricson system for sending MMS Messages meaning anything over 45K would not send!!!!

4) Handset releases started getting slower

5) Thought it would be funny to start charging £1 for itemised billing. (I bet they wish they had not after so many canceled there contracts early since it broke the contract, hehehe

6) Changed from wanting to be ahead from everyone else to "inline" with everyone else

Once again i could have gone on and on if these were fresh in my memory from being with them during One2Ones death

Anyway getting back to the main part......

1) Orange
2) T-Mobile
3) O2
4) Three
5) Vodafone

how some of you are putting Virgin i do not know the thread said Networks not Operators.”

Because Virgin is a different provider to T-Mobile and deserves its right to be in the vote.

For me,

1) O2 (Currently have a contract phone with them)
2) Virgin (Using as my PAYG spare)
3) Vodafone
4) T-Mobile / One2One (when I was with them!)

Not used Orange or 3.
