Seriously thinking from changing over to 3 from orange due to the escalating costs of orange. Anybody had much experience from them ??

S.B.

Get an orange value promise plan
How have the costs escalated?

Just had a quick look and they dont do an OVP for the 3 network. It is miles cheaper than anybody else. I think.

750 any network minutes for £35. on 3. Is there any network better than that ?!?

That's complete crap. I've never had a problem getting a signal on my 3 phones, (previously a NEC e606 and now LG U8110). Where there is no 3G coverage they use the O2 network.

As a network 3 has one or 2 problems but if you lock your phone onto a 2g network, in this case O2, then there will be no problem apart from not been able to make video calls. Hardly a big deal. The other problem is customer service but only if you get put through to the Mumbai call centre.
Give it a go, you get 14 days to try it and if you don't like you can cancel it.
PM me and I'll sort you out.

Had a 3 myself soon sent it back thankgod for the 14day moneyback
**** signal, **** battery life etc.
When i phoned up they said a lot had been sent back

Someone on here recently got orange to match the 3 network. They phoned up to cancel their contract and was offered the OVP, can't remember who it was though.

I phoned up orange last week, told them I want to cancel as they are to expensive. They gave me 120 mins, 300 free texts and an upgrade to a 6600 for £25/month. Saving me about £25 a month I usually spend on texting

Just rung up orange and they said they do not price match 3 ! As the lad said on the phone " 3 are leading their way to finacial suicide " !! May just trying to drive down the cost of mobile phone usage !!


Oh yes they are also giving at the moment 1/2 price line rental and free unlimited txts for you 1st 3 months !!!

Had 3 myself for 4 months. Motorola A835 . The signal has been brilliant even out on the Welsh rally in Dyfi and Sweet lamb. Was on orange before, they wouldn,t/couldn,t come anywhere near it. It depends on

1 , Where u Live.

2, How much you use it..

Im on 750 anytime, any network and i use the lot every month. Time will tell i suppose but up to yet A1 service

Works Ok for me. As mentioned before, we get 3 signal locally and reverts to 02 deep in the Lakes.

Used to be on 3 and it was crap! kept dropping out and everything! moved back to 3 from 02 and its better than ever!
only problems as previously mentioned that their customer service department dont have a clue!

Would stay with 3 now though cheap and good and i live in a little village where you struggle to get good phone signal but mine works and have 3g at least 75% of the time
