voda 3g vs. 3 PAYG

[tiiim]

ok i am just about to get a new phone but I am still swinging on which network voda or 3? I have heard praise in favour of both. I really cant make my mind up!

Which one really does the best 3G? I know 3 has the edge on coverage but in my area they are both the same signal. But who does the best service and all round value for money on PAYG?

Also how much is voda PAYG video calling costs?

Been on voda 2.5g before and i know that was superb. Which price plan which is better? you got voda stop the clock which is fantastic but a rip off in the day. Or you have 3's wepay which is good but the tarriff part from that is not really that inspiring.

And all in all which on both networks which is the best sub £100 3g phone?


Oh before you ask, contract is not an option (yet) as there are currently other major finacial things to sort out. cheers guys!:D

after working for Vodafone I think you are best going with 3.
Vodafone PAYT customer services is outsourced to a call centre in SCOTLAND the advisors are not trained and if you have problems they cannot assist you they will send you details to a Q which means a trained advisor will open up the "Assignment" they have sent on your behalf and then lie about trying to call you back 3 x before closing it and sending you an SMS asking you to call customer services.

For 3, repeat the answer above changing SCOTLAND for INDIA

lol you took the words right out of mouth :squareeye

also at end of day how many times will i need to call voda tech support? I was on them ages back i did phone them once and they did deal with my prob on the phone. Im 90% sure i will go for voda.

I think you are mad!
I know I was made redundant by then but i was leaving anyways and stayed around to get my ££££££ come back in 6 months and tell me you are a happy camper!!! with Vodafone----Whats wrong with O2?

[tiiim]

lol im with o2 at the moment i cant wait to get off them! man the network quality is not as good as voda. I have texts failing all the time, the 3g coverage is poor. Sure they offer great deals at the moment but i left o2 a while back because i was sick and tired of the network quality went to voda and was v happy. However my friend who works for o2 pursuaded me to come back and she gave me a great deal and so i did also i ended up on imode.. big mistake... dont ever go to imode its terrible i rather have o2 active thanks. I now wish i did not come back over what a waste of money. Compared to voda o2 network is not as good. Sure coverage wise its similar but the performance of the network does not match it. Also im looking for 3g and at the moment this is o2 weakest point. i have so much trouble with o2 but i wouldnt go back now i tried but nah also had a few MAJOR probs on contracts with them in the past which ended up with a legal letter to them in order to resolve the case but that another story...

ve been with Vodafone for 7 years now not had a single prob with them and any help i've needed fro mcust serv has been dealt with there and then ..

[DaveC]

The truth is there are horror stories about every network. I was with Orange for 10 years, sometimes they were very good, at other times they were very poor. I have been with O2 for 8 months and have phoned CS on three occasions, on each they were polite and efficient. That's not to say they won't be poor in the future.
What network to use is a very subjective thing and depends on many factors, so much so that I find it almost impossible to give individual advice

I think you should check your facts. We DO NOT LIE AT ALL. I know who you are and to which dept you are referring to.
