The wife might be getting a new mobile with the 3 network, which is quite a new company I believe, however I have heard a few bad reports of network coverage from them and that is more or less the only thing my wife is asking to be spot on in the deal (so she is not lossing signal evrytime she rings). The salesman says the network coverage is fine but he would would'nt he as he has also said today they get better bonuses if they put you on to the 3 network.
So has anyone got any good or bad points with the 3 network???? Any feed back if you have a one of these phones would be great. We also live in the North East area as well if that helps.

3 launched on 03/03/03 so are about 2.5 years old now. I've had their phones from before then (I used to work for them) and my wife still has one.

The LG phones are excellent and the service is good apart from the odd MMS message that never arrives (but that could be my provider rather than 3)

3 have improved a lot in the last year, Ive got 3 phones on 3 networks(orange, tmobile and three) and the "three" network works just about everywhere the others do, I also have the bonus of three paying ME about £2.00 per month for using 500 minutes and 100 texts

I have had 3 '3' phones, a first gen Nec was terrible, a LG 8120 which I loved and just got a Nokia N70 which is a great phone, all on the 3 network, replaced Vodaphone which wont work at our house, the 3 reception is great here and the content whilst some is risible, some is actually quite useful, nice to just be able to get the news and a weather report.

I use it as an extra home phone, I have 500 minutes included so I have to plough through them.

I think you get a miles better deal than the comparable 2G phone, I think the average punter was put off by the high initial prices and the lack of a killer feature, its maturing nicely, they just need to allow proper web browsing like T-Mobile, also their pay as you go offering is 15 quid a month and it doesnt roll over but then again there is talk of the 2g operators doing the same.
