Questions about 3

I just got my San Francisco unlocked and I'm looking at 1 month rolling contracts. 3 do one for £10 which includes 100 minutes, 3000 texts and 1GB internet.

What are peoples experiences with three? How is their 3g coverage? Anything else I should know?

I've been with them for about 4 years now.

1st year wasn't very good, crap signal in a lot of places. From the second year onwards their service has been absolutely faultless. I wouldn't use any other network now.

Been great for me. I live in a terrible signal area and 3 is the best out of Orange and O2 here.

Im on 3 and work out in the sticks, its the only network that has a 3G signal at work, vodafone, orange and o2 are all gsm only out there, meaning crap data speeds.

Been with them a few years now and cant fault the networks data performance. On my HTC Desire I often get 4 meg down and 1.5 meg up on speedtests.

Im on the £15 sim only rolling contract, 300mins, 3000texts, 2000 3 to 3 minutes and 1GB data ..but for some reason when I log into my3 and check my usage it shows I have 2GB data per month to use ..maybe you will get lucky too.

Very hard work dealing with customer services and cancelling contracts is annoying, otherwise I had no problems, good prices and good signal.

Agree with the coverage, best I've found while in the sticks. Try getting out of a contract before expiry though. Got sent abroad at short notice, under no circumstances will they stop contract unless you pay the full remainder of contract fees.
