Any network has to be better than T mobile , they are the worst network going  :sick:

Well, Everything Everywhere (T-Mobile/Orange) arguably have the widest coverage in the UK.


+1, my phones only ever not had any signal once!

Really , I live in London everytime I go into shop with T mobile it lose's signal also where I work cant get a signal unless I go in the garden , So where does it have the bigest coverage ? There CS are very arsey and a pile of crap and to had to that most of there shops are empty because no wants Orange  :rolleyes:

PS London is the biggest city so if you cant get a proper signal there what does that tell you ?

Tells me your phone is probably poo.

I've had a very good experience with both orange and t-mobile and I think that a couple of bad experiences doesn't warrant writing the whole company off.

Oh yeah, the iphone 4 is renowned for its amazing, faultless signal ;)

All i'm saying is that your 1 building and 1 experience barely represents the scale of their coverage.

How do you know its only one building I work in, ok lets talk CS services on T mobile whats your experience of them ? Don't slag the iPhone off because mine has never dropped a signal in 12 months !!
I work all over London and every time I go into shop i.e. Sainsburys or Waitrose no signal . I got rid of them 3 yrs ago, my mrs daughter has nothing but problems and she has a BB due to lack of signal and sluggish internet on T mobile!!

but when it's one of the most active places he uses it, it does cause a problem. I'd check the coverage maps for other companies and see if they can provide a better service.

Where we used to work we were pretty much slap bang in the middle of 3 cell towers just where they didn't quite overlap and none of us got good signal, Voda, O2 and Orange were all sh!t. One of the reasons we moved the office to Oxford (that and the office rent was much cheaper in the crappiest building in Oxford :grin: )

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Since the combination of Orange/T-Mobile, it can cause some problems if you haven't set your phone up properly. Basically, you can set it to 'roam' between both networks, to get the best of both for GSM signal. But at present, Orange only supports 2.5G (Edge) for T-Mobile roaming, ie. 128k (slow) internet. If you set your network selection to be manual and force it to be T-Mobile, you'll get the 3G benefits of T-Mobile (whilst comprising on using Orange's network).

I've had a very positive experience of both Orange and T-Mobile in the 5 years I've been with them, hence why I would happily recommend them. You've got to bear in mind - you don't call customer services to have a pleasant chat - its usually to moan/complain, so their quality of service will be reflected in your attitude towards them; be kind, polite, patient and charming works wonders when dealing with cmr services. Be an a-hole - and expect to be treated like one (not aimed at you, but a generalisation).

As I said, check the coverage map first ;)

Vodafone offer "SureSignal" if you want guaranteed signal in your home/office.
