I have orange on my iPhone and 3 on my iPad.

3 provides a MUCH MUCH better 3G coverage.

It's quicker, snappier and more areas.

Don't suppose you have any idea how there network coverage is for phone calls etc. do you? Seeing as you only have it on your iPad I am assuming not .

Thanks mate .

What MB internet do you have?

10, it's usually far quicker than this. Although the snow has been causing a lot of problems with it. So it will no doubt improve when the snow here has gone

Yeah mate .

Cheers for the advice. I wonder why they get such bad reviews? I've heard very mixed things about them tbh.

Think I'll be staying with O2, that's how it looks atm anyway.

My first ever contract was with 3 and ive stayed with them because of how good they are.

Honestly it must be a few select people that have a problem.

I'll keep it in mind mate, thanks for the info . Not going to rush into it all because it's a lot of money... and I'm very lazy .

Also 3 had the best deal i could find on contract

quick question chaps.

Thinking about getting an iPhone. Generally the thing is awesome. The only gripe i have with it is the look of the OS, for some reason it gripes me. Like the bubble factor etc. I know of jailbraking but not necessarily what it actually does or allows me to do. Could some one point me to or quickly outline what it allows me to do ? and why i should do it

+1 to that, been with them for about 16 months now, useing a nokia N95. Never had problems with signal apart from local outages which effected everything from landline/net/moblie etc.

Best experience with them is road tripping from london to plymouth and useing the iplayer the majority of the way on my phone with bairly a blip with the connection. I was traveling via car and the 3 or so hours i was on the net for didnt cost that much (have a 1.5g allowance per month over about 6 phones, never been over the 1.5g limit).

Edit: Would echo what other have said aswell though, research the right plan/phone, you can get into so much hassle with a 16/18/24 month contract that you end up no wanting after the first few months.

They are known for their poor customer support/foreign call centres. However this may have changed in recent years.

I've not had a problem with them in the three or so years I've been with them.
They even sent me a new phone after I moaned I didn't get on with it, and
They seem to take all their calls in the uk now.

Anyway, got my iPhone4 today, first piece of apple kit i've ever had and I'm really impressed with it so far.

Changed a contact photo the other day, but when I call/receive a call the old photo still shows up.

Do I need to somehow "refesh" it or something? I've tried rebooting but no change.

Jailbroken on 4.1 if it matters.

Supernaut91 · 31 Dec 2010 at 17:07

remove the current photo in the contact. Insert the photo back in. GF was messing around with my contact photos for a laugh.

Steedie · 31 Dec 2010 at 17:45

Got my phone replaced finally today for the non working home button and loose back glass

So nice to have a properly working phone again

Local 3 had an AMAZING deal on the iPhone 4 today.

£35/month for 24 months
2000 minutes
5000 texts
5000 3 to 3 minutes
Unlimited data (probably fair usage policy though)

Handset = £69!!!!!!!

My GF and I are both going to pick ours up on this deal tomorrow, having checked the T&C's online and in store there's no FUP, unlimited means unlimited they are even promoting it with tethering for laptops / netbooks etc, can't wait to get them home and start playing around. it's a stunning deal

The only thing that annoyed me about 3 was their rubbish customer service! Several occasions they'd cut me off without any reason! Generally cos I'd won the argument, but that was over a year ago now. The one thing I will say is that the network itself is really good. I found their coverage good in most parts of the uk.

Currently with orange on my iPhone 4 and it's great!

Bought it handset only and I'm on a £25 a month unlimited everything doodah. Too much of a good deal to pass up!
