Around Yorkshire specifically South, you will get 3G 90% of the time. And very fast 3G, on speedtest.net app I get around 9-10 mb, in hot spots.
Get a 3 payg sim card and use that to see how signal is with your current phone.

Well my brother lives in Kew Gardens ,Slough I think thats a suburb in London.3's sim only deal was recomended by my brothers wife unlimited data etc just wanted to know if they were good for the money cause im not voice I dont know anyone in the UK anyway besides my brother
Are you just getting the Sim or are you getting the phone on a contract?
Just so you know things like "Visual" voicemail is only available on o2. It snot a deal breaker though.
If you're interested giffgaff is really good and uses o2 signal. (wish I could have gone down this route)

Just read your post properly (its too early here). If you already have a phone the giffgaff will be perfect for you.

I'm on 3's £15 3,000 texts, 300 mins and unlimited data pay as you go bolt on.
I get 3G 90% of the time in Berkshire and London. I seem to remember Alton had quite good signal too.
Not sure about anywhere else though. The speeds are always quite consistent, 3-4Mbps

Three are an excellent network now. Best value for money by far. Wouldn't think twice about recommending them.
Example, on a train from Glasgow - London, I lose signal in 1 area for about 5 minutes. The rest of the time, I get a great signal!

No just need a sim im not a UK citizen so getting a contract wouldnt be possible plus im only there for a few weeks just need a sim for my unlocked 4S but 3 sounds pretty good as I wont be leaving the london area.The only cell phone co I know about is 3 havent heard about any others like Giffgaff at all and dont really know a whole lot about o2
Ahh ok. o2 is probably the biggest cellphone network over here but you should be fine with 3
1. Ask for a pay as you go microSIM.
2. Then top up £15 and buy the 3000 texts 300 mins unltd data bolt on.
3. Do this every month as it runs out after 30 days.
4. ???
5. Profit
