Best phone network
thinking of getting sim free phone which network should i go for
I di exactly that too, I went on Vodaphone no problems at all. 1000 minutes, 2 gig of data, unlimited texts £9.50 a month
You may be surprised to know that the BT mobile does not have such good coverage as Vodafone. You can check the coverage in your area by a search on Google. Vodafone is the only mobile that works in this area.
I think there are only 3 actual networks? Vodafone, 02 and EE (I might be wrong about this so please check) then Tesco, Three, Giff Gaff, Virgin and others piggyback on to one of the big three.
It will pay you to see who runs your nearest phone mast. The one nearest me is a Vodafone 4G mast and I get a fantastic signal indoors and out. Friends are not so lucky. One network can't even be picked up til you leave our estate.
It goes without saying that you need good coverage at home and at work. The coverage maps are fairly accurate but take notice of what kind of signal friends and neighbours get from different networks.

Virgin has treated me best with no surprises. Thanks Bransen.
P.S. I live in B.C. Canada. Hope Richard treats you well also. TG

Perhaps when Sir Richard Branson goes into space as published recently he will shove a few new satellites out the door of the space module improving reception? 
Let's hope that Branson doesn't get in a pickle!

There's actually four major networks, Three being a major network and doesn't use anyone else's network.
Best not to deal directclty with any of the main providers. A sub-contractor like Vergin buys in volume and has savings clout they pass along to us. You get steady low rates for as much as two years at a time. Main providers, on the other hand, pop you wiith rate hikes much more often. TG
I thought that looked funny.....Virgin. Sorry Richard....auto-pilot. TG
Quote:The big four must have evolved from Cellnet, Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile (or was it O2?) It seems that Vodafone are the only original UK cellular network to have not changed their name?
Cellnet eventually became O2, Vodaphone started out as Racal, a subsidiary of Racal electronics, a company manufacturing military radio technologies, Orange and T Mobile merged to become EE,
