Difference of 8 only between three and O2 I can see three overtaking!

I reckon that £115 quidco for three helped even more.

With that deal that's bound to be the cheapest even after O2 get friends and family discount of 30% ...02 tariffs are way expensive
 
existing customers on ORANGE.

my mate got:

25% discount as he upgraded (not staff discount -his only been with them for one previous contract) + £5 off for first 6 months.

he got the £36 tariff.

£99 upfront for the phone.

only 500Mb cap on net- but he doesn't use that much anway....

so anyone else on orange- try negotiate with the sales team

t-mobile- if you have family/friend that works for t-mobile - they give 50% discount on contracts
 
this is the message my friend keeps getting - 2nd time its happen to them.
they called Three-they have said maybe the details may not be same example billing address and delivery address ...but they cannot say exactly why?

also they said go in store and try order- but if ordering through store no £115 quidco...

mmmh....well the quidco offer is their till feb 2012..but friend is really getting frustrated of how many times they have to order before they can get it.

everything else they have ordered online in the pass has been ok..they have decent job and everything..they just dont seem to understand - any alternatives? maybe using another family members credit card?

I had a similar issue months ago. Their credit check agency have rejected you. Don't bother keep trying as they black list you for a few months before you can try again. I got a decent job, contract on other network and even a sim only deal with 3 (when I complained was told phone contracts stricter than sim only deals). Your friend will either have to wait a few months or someone else
Order and he pays them (not ideal I know). Or go sim only and buy phone outright.

Also to find out why need to go to credit agency.
 
As a follow up to the previous post about 3 mobile data speeds.

I received my 4s last Friday and they also upgraded the 3G data network in my area.

I'm now getting the result shown below, which is over 8Mb a sec. Not quite the theoretical 14, but pretty good.

Three service in delivery-

It came in a specialy delivery bag!

No protection over the iPhone box- flipping careless.

Any product iv ever got from apple comes in a bubble wrapped boxed.

The IPHONE 4S box was dented-not 100% happy feeling like throwing the box at three customer service and asking for another brand new iPhone 4S box
 
What's the best tariff on orange which works out the cheapest on 18 month contract.

600 mins is more then enough

Minimum 500 text required
500 Mb net


Does anyone use by open zone and know if it is fast ad reliable?
 
what speeds are you guys getting on o2, here in london everywhere i go i can not get pass ~1.5mbps dl and ~1mbps upload :( should have went with three:eek:
 
Anyone else waiting for there IPhone off Vodafone here? I got my deal with them through on Sunday and they said it would be 5 working days before i received the phone.

You still can!

You have 14 days to give yur pone back.

Some people getting 9Mbs on three.

But from statistics voda suppose to be one of the fastest from reliable date that was produced a few months back in 2011
 
Difference of 4 left between the 2 highest networks.

This is the closest it's been in te last week or so.

Can three really become the number 1.

They just did get number 1 for :

Thanks to our ongoing network improvements we’ve been rated No.1 network for smartphones. This, along with our great value plans including all-you-can-eat data, means more people than ever are joining you on Three.

To celebrate, and as a bit of a thank you, we’re giving away hundreds of great prizes over three days.
 
Only THREEE behind now...

THREEE network can you do it and truly become number 1
 
Call me pedantic, but T-Mobile uses the same 3G network as 3 and it's Vodafone with an f, not a ph.

I'm pretty sure (correct me if i'm wrong) they just share their sites, and run different networks on different bands.
 
Three is officially number 1 network for the iPhone 4S on macrumour forum

Laters O2....
 
"the mobile masts and infrastructure that connects to each operator's separate core network"

From the front page:

"MBNL is now responsible for managing the consolidated network of sites including the 2G and consolidated 3G radio access networks for Three UK and Everything Everywhere."

I think you need to go and read up on what a Radio Access Network is.
