02 not fit for purpose!!!!!

I got a new 3GS last month on release day. Buying my self out of my Vodafone contract Blackberry.

I love the iphone it is such a clever bit of kit and the camera and location services are great for my work.

The reason I am thinking of handing it back is that the coverage and service compared to Vodafone is rubbish. ( I dont know about other providers I was with Voda for a decade)

I am a TV location manager in Scotland and spend a lot of time traveling to rural places where the "no service" indicator is always lit.

Even in the cities the service is doggy to say the least!

Yesterday there was a mass outage of data and did not get emails for the most of the day despite traveling to Glasgow and Edinburgh the whole country was down.

I have taken to keeping a Vodafone PAYT in the glove box, and have kept my data card for my mac.

Maybe offcom should look at the service.

I would ask apple to look at their deals and to open to other providers, because 02 is making a very exceptional piece of hardware look average and unreliable.
