I think O2 is very good. I get free messaging units & free off-peak minutes every month just for topping up. I also have their Home 100 Bolt-On. I haven't had any problems with the service.

Wow! I voted O2 but did not expect them to be so much in the lead at the minute!

You only ever seem to be on a network for 5 minutes though.

ATM I use orange and o2, - o2 for cheaper evening calls and orange for ultra cheap GPRS.

Just moved to Vodafone from 3, only because I wanted the N80. Got a good deal so at the moment very happy.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking that

In any case, I picked T-Mobile - their customer service is still the best for me that said, I'm happy with 3 too. Their own (i.e 3G) coverage kicks major... err... bottom here

I picked Vodafone for the 3G mobile tv which i think is great because its the new type of VOD service with some of there stuff, i use the ITN clips and other packs, so for me the tv part rocks.

O2 are a fine network?
My calls go through every time, my text messages go through (well the 5 that I send per year), GPRS is fast, customer service is great. Coverage is fine too - works where others don't.

My only problem with O2 is that on PAYG they don't offer proper internet access (without using a proxy).

For me O2 for this reason....

Used to be with Vodofone. topped up with tenner a month, quickly ran out of credit, never lasted me the month.

Now,
Top up mine and wife's phone with 10 pounds each month.
300 free text's....keep my tenner for calls/whatever
15 mins included talktime to landline/O2 for being with them 6 months(treats)
Always build up a balance on my phone, free to make phone calls now without worrying I'll run out of credit. Home phone bill is now *very* low as we NEVER use it for mobiles now.
Altogther we get more freedom with our mobiles and overal including landline, we are cheaper/month.

Rarely, if ever get problems making calls, sending/receiving texts, etc

Hope ths makes sense !

Me to, especially for the day of free calls & texts before the last bank holiday & the 90mins free calls after the last two England games.

T-Mobile - text anyone for 3p, 20p per min to landlines and other T-Mobile customers- good deal.

Its in Italic cos you voted for it, you dumbass!


As for me 02 is the best of the bunch and I dont care what any1 says, I have been using it for over 8 years, back when it used to be called 'cellnet' and I never had any reliablity problems whatsoever and I both call and text, both nationally and internationally, just brilliant!

And its by far the cheapest for PAYG!

Not to mention the 15p a min for the first 5 mins then 5p after that. A 60 min call for £3.50, brilliant.
