When it is working, like most things, Three is brilliant. But there are times, the lack of data or phone service absolutely annoys me and this has been more often in the last 4 months I have been with Three than the last good few years I was with O2.

I agree. When you have a signal Three is brilliant with a typically fast and reliable service. However there are too many places (typically indoors) that I found when using Three that you will have no signal. I have the same problem on EE unfortunately.

You're the first person I've met who's happier on O2 than Three.

Three is way way better than o2
Shame about their latest stunt with their customers to get them off old tariffs. |

"Three is way better than O2" - care to clarify?
I agree but not entirely. |

Think I've misled slightly when I said volte what I actually meant was ios8 wifi calling. I've used the 3 in touch app with very mixed results and if I'm honest more bad than good

I agree but not entirely. Speeds were also vastly superior, much quicker In all cases afaik. Call quality was also superior Prices and value for money was also much better even though we were on legacy O2 iPhone sim only £20 unlimited data plans. What's the point of unlimited data that's slow in comparison. In all respects three was and is better than O2 In my opinion. To be fair to O2 I've tried to stay balanced but u can't think of anything where O2 is better. Maybe the fact they never meddled with my contract. |

O2's 2G's coverage beats 3's 3G coverage in my experience (and objectively as it's a fact that it covers a larger area), 3G is a lot worse though as you said.

I would agree 3 are much better than o2. I was with o2 for years. Coverage and costumer service were crap. I, ve have no complaints with 3 , been with them for 12 months

I go to Denmark, Norway and Ireland quite a bit. All three at home countries. No roaming costs or daily fees for low cost usage etc. Can't beat it.

I dont have to moan at Three every month, sometimes every week, about the lack of performance that i was paying for. I admit O2's 3G is poor but i get great speeds with their 4G and the coverage is good. I've had no complaints with O2 since i've been back with them....so far. Quote:

No network is fantastic everywhere i know that, it just so happens 02 is good for me in the places i need it to be. |

Not in my case it's not.

i wonder if that's the reason why Spain isn't included, as it would end up costing them too much to provide it. |

No, it's because there is no Three network in Spain.

Is there a 3 network in America?
However, there is a T-Mobile network in America, so maybe they have a special deal as Deutsche Telekom is part of MBNL as (half of) EE and Three is the other half. |

They're probably negotiating reciprocal arrangements so those networks can use Three UK for reduced or free roaming. Rather than paying shed loads of money.

Let's be honest, the roaming charges are tiny anyway.

you didn't specifically say whether you were talking about operator or end-user charges. you only stated that after i posed the question of "how tiny". the cost between operators is totally irrelevant when it comes to the end-user, which we all are. |
