3 Reception issues

hamid84 · 10-10-2008, 10:21

are to be sorted soon as they gave handed over some of their customers to orange and o2.

People living in West midlands should have full reception soon.... Probably next 48 hours so please let us know here.

So are you saying these 3 customers are no longer 3 customers? They will now be getting Orange or O2 bills?

I'm on 3 and I don't understand. I haven't got any reception problems anyway. What's this all about?

hamid84 · 10-10-2008, 13:01

I did mention WEST MIDLANDS.... Nothing is going to be changed.. 3 will only use orange and o2's services ( technical stuff )...

Have you got a link to this info so we can work out what you are talking about.

What he's talking about is the 2G roaming when not within a 3g area.

Recently there have been some roaming issues as some customers roamed on to O2 and some on to Orange when 3G was not available. I believe the very final stages of moving customers over to the new system are virtually complete.

However there will be a bit more fiddling as they work with Nokia Siemens and T-mobile on the much expanded 3g coverage, which aims to reach near blanket 3g coverage within the next 18 months or so.

They have more bandwidth than any of the other networks for 3g, so within 18 months they look very promising. They will then reduce the need for 2g roaming.

What happening is Three cancelled their contract with o2 (great) now they switched to Orange (Excellent) so they taking some time to move systems over, which is going good, as i live in the West Midlands and it mostly sorted a few tweaks and they should be done

Thanks to everyone who managed to explain this properly. I actually have a 3 account and ny family live in the west midlands. Yet it still didn't make sense from what the OP put.

Which is why you made no sense whatsoever.

You obviously know what its about, but the rest of us had to guess.

Anyway, T-Mobile and three's agreement doesn't extend to 2G so you will still need to roam onto Orange.

Well I'm in the west mids and still getting crap 3g signal (used to be fine) but at least it ain't cutting me off every few mins now, fail to see how going over to orange will help my 3g signal???

It won't.

What it will mean is however, that you will still be able to make calls when you don't have 3G Cover.

Oh right, so the poster saying
"3 Reception issues are to be sorted soon" wasn't telling the full story.

As far as I'm aware I don't roam to 2g, I just get 3 beeps and cut off
