Three coverage

[builder22]

Is it right that unless you can get a 3G signal with a Three SIM then you won't be able to make calls either? Or have I got that wrong?

just now with my O2 payg sim I get no 3g almost from Dundee right up to Aberdeen, about 70 miles, so I'd get no phone signal from Three unless 3G comes up on the phone?

I only ask because I'd like an unlimited data package that I can use tethering with, Three seems the only option but it'd a 12 month contract

yeah it was having absolutely no reception at all for phonecalls is what I was worried about

tethering is limited to 4GB per month on the £15 a month deal no, so not as good as I thought

my internet at the house is quite slow, was thinking of upgrading my phone to a 4G capable one and using it for big files etc, not really gonna work out like that with 4GB allowance

thought I'd add this....

I got a PAYG three sim and put a tenner on it to see what the coverage was like

I get 3G in places that I only got calls/texts with O2 (as I was saying there was almost no 3G between Dundee and Aberdeen - it worked all the time driving up there today!) and in the places where I got 3G with O2 the speed's are better with this Three sim

wish I did this little test before the tethering limits came in

I ended up with the £12 giffgaff goodybag but they have decided to reduce it from unlimited to 3GB now - will be ordering one of Three's sim only deals with unlimited data shortly
