    Anyone on "3" or three?

    Im tired of T-mobile, and apart from thier cheap prices, I need to know if three or 3 is any good.

    Also, some of my freinds claim the 500 minutes, or 750 minutes are not exactly 500 and 750, can anyone confirm or deny this?

    Apparently their coverage aint so hot :/
    And personally I cannot stand their television advertisements. However the incredible tarriffs and the downloadable videos really gets my attention. VERY tempting to get the A1000 on 3Pay for £25 pm with 500 mins / 100 txts...
    Bearing that in mind, its worthless if the coverage isn't sufficient enough to use them

    I get my 500 minutes and my 100 texts. Had 3 for over ayear now, 3G coverage is good for me, could be because i live in london, even when you do lose 3G coverage i believe 3 uses O2's network to provide 2G services.

    Correct, takes it out of your minutes too. If you find its really bad, you can manually select the o2 network (which is labelled as 3 without '3g' next to it).

    I hardly use up half of my 500 minute allowance.

    But so far i am pleased, i havent had major problems, true the calls sometimes do just drop due to low coverage, but with so many minutes, why does that matter?

    Plus ... Basically if you make a 10 second call, that will count as 1 minute!
