Source?

Three have introduced a policy of removing the 2G backup where the 3G signal is excellent. I haven't seen anything about them removing 2G coverage anywhere else. Got a source?

I believe that they are using their own coverage now rather than o2/Orange.

Pulse · 29 Jul 2009 at 21:06

Suppose this also means goodbye to international coverage as a majority of that is off O2 or Orange's international networks?

Unlikely they will be removing specific location areas totally. Source, or it didnt happen

How would we stand if we suddenly lost reception? Any sort of get out clause like the recent Orange offering?

I guess I will have to study the contract... Will let you know!

backup networks?

I don't have any reception at all with 3 in my house, it just doesn't work at all. But my sister's Orange phone and my mum's O2 phone always have full reception.

I read it on the Hotukdeals forum seems odd. I emailed 3 customer services and they said they couldn't comment ?

Three has to be one of the worst ever companies I have dealt with!

Reception is pretty dire in general.
