Default Quick Mobile Phone Provider Poll.

Quick and simple.....

I'm about to go from T-Mobile to another service provider, but who's best in your opinion?

I'm 90% swayed towards Vodaphone but i'm unsure as i've been with T-mobile for about 8 years now.

I will never use Vodaphone again ever even if they were the best and cheapest by far. The grief we had off them when trying to cancel a contract was stupid and ended in solicitors letters

Orange have got a few good points, although they have binned free 0800 numbers for new contracts

I like the text message if you have the phone off and the caller doesn't leave voice mail.

Free to talk to cust service too.

I used to be with vodafone and tbh i never had a prob with them and only changed to O2 as they were cheaper but cannot fault them on customer service

Im sure T-Mobile are doing a really good contract tho as my friend has just changed to them 1800 mins and 500 texts (i think) for Ł50 a month !!

I'm with Orange at the moment and have been for a long time.

The service is excellent, hardly any holding or problems getting in touch with customer service. I lost the back half of my phone once when out on the beers, I gave them a ring the next day and a new one was on my doorstep the following morning!

But that said, I may shift to o2 soon as I don't get much of a signal in my new office!

Its not the fact T-mobile offer bad service, its the fact their soooooooooooooo far behind everyone else

Seems 3, O2, Vodaphone and Orange get all the new models in months before Zeeee Germans. (T-mobile is a German Co.)

Have you been smoking crack? o2 coverage is so much better than vodafone. Well at least everywhere i've been in the uk it has been. Vodafone reception is wank.
