I had the worst 18 month contract with T-Mobile as far as reception goes. I'm on 02 and it's fine.
Although i was told by a phone shop geezer that 02 & 3 share transmitters, and Orange share with T-mobile, so if your receptions all good with Orange then you should be good with T-mobile. I'd check that fact at a store though, maybe it was just a part of the guys pitch.

Nice information.
Cheers for that Dregz, I'll google the arsehole out of that fact.

Dont T mobile have a postcode checker thingy that tells you if theres coverage in your area?

I had a T mobile contract and I had the worst coverage EVER, I used to have to go to the bottom of my garden to make a call! But thats out in Berkshire, I'm sure coverage would be better in London itself...

Yeah, they said I was alright both work and home.
Looks like I'm going for it.
Cheers for all the helps chaps.

My contract with t-mobile ends on Wednesday. I cannot wait. I've been paying tonnes of money and not had reliable reception for the last 15 months. Weirdly, the first three months were fine - it's not a phone problem as I was on a contract where I could swap my phone after nine months.

I'm going back to 3. I've always found them great and even if you don't upgrade to full internet, you still get ebay for free!
