I tried Three many times in the past and recently with many different handsets. I and friends found the following problems:

[list][*]Call Dropping when mobile in car [*]Poor voice quality [*]Limited 3G coverage (80% - same as Vodafone in 1991!) [*]Poor customer service [*]Browsing Limited to Three's own sites only [/list]I'm sure there are many more reasons not to use Three for your main handset.

Orange's 3g network is, FACT, far superiour than Three.

Anyone else experience problems???

i wont be touching 3 again

5 phones and all 5 have restarted themselves

need i say more?

I have had problems with cs and call dropping etc but i'm still keeping my LG U8120 for my calls as it's cheaper than T-Mobile although will it work out cheaper since my calls are only 10p/min on T-Mobile?

i hated that network and they kept stinging me for money even after i cancelled my contract , hey livingston whaddya know

You don't see much people in West Lothian on here either

Well I bought a three phone today - on the prepay tarriff. Great phone, shame about the network. Voice wise its fine. Call quality has improved since i tried it a few months back, but so far I've had error messages while trying to browse the portal and missing images too, so far from perfect - feels a little unstable while browsing, having to reload pages to see ALL images and links timing out as well.

I've got some business taking me north and south next month, so i might just report back what I think. If the voice part works as well I it does for me locally everywhere I go, I might just admit that on the voice front Three have cracked it. However, I'm almost certain that 3g wise its failing to meet expectations, probably down to network topology. If the weather video I watched earlier is anything to go by, quality and performance has got to be improved if Three wants to be taken seriously and not get overtaken by other 3g contenders.

i travelled 40 miles round trip to get a 3 phone in argos it was 180 pounds. but in this shop it was 45pounds plus £15 airtime as well. got the phone home, got it all set up, phoning out ok. reception ok, but it would not recieve text messages. only from the 3 net work.... phoned operator faulty phone they said... took it back to shop. swaped it for another one, got home same thing again.... phoned shop got a refund.... crap phone... crap network...
