Hi Paul.

I totally disagree with your conclusions. Firstly t-mobile probably have more partner networks piggying off them than any other network. Virgin, Fresh and a couple of others I think Tesco and Asda mobile all use t-mobile to provide their services. Orange unless you are a big texter is a ripoff and vodafone and 02 I don't know much about but I get mixed signals from their users. I know Three's coverage is less than perfect, but consider that they are the newest of the big networks and so they probably don't have as many mobile masts and their spaced further apart. Their good in inner city areas but in my own home which is quite some way from the nearest mast, I might struggle to get a good signal for internet but voice calls and texting are OK. I suppose it comes down to how much your prepared to pay and learn to haggle as you can find some bloody good deals if you shop around.

All the best, Ibrahim.

PS. I haven't heard from you regarding your keyboard. I supplied my phone number so feel free to call me if you still want help with setting up and using it.

It is ironic.

Umm!  Let's see now?  Why don't we go with the UK service with the worst
coverage we can which will entice our customers to stick with us... Not!

When T-mobile were one2one, we used to call them one2none as no one could
get coverage with them but, only had their handsets because the tariffs were so good. But, then, they had to be to attract people even though they would never be able to use their minutes but, then at least, they could feel good
about thinking they had a good deal.

I don't like T-mobile!  Not that anyone would have guessed.

Cheers.

Paul

Yes they are using orange but part of that agreement is that they stop using
O2. What is even more ironic is that they are going to network share with
T-Mobile.

I think three are tied in with Orange, but, not absolutely sure.

People who are using the 3 network may not have coverage in some areas
because in september i think it is the deal they have with O2 comes to an
end.

Hi Andy.

I'm not making any promises about whether you will or will not be charged.
I've never been charged for WFA on payg, but then when I've been on contract
which has been from June last year, I've always paid for an unlimited data
plan. If you've an unlocked phone, by all means pop in to a three store and
pick up a payg sim or if you want L10 complementary credit you can buy the
sim online. Either way, its not a major investment and you can trial three
for yourself to see if it is free to use WFA.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim -

Is this to say then, that one could have a PAYG or sim contract with
three, and not get charged for moderate use of WFA? I would be
interested if this were the case -

Andy

Hi Saqib.

The reason three don't charge you is because you use only small
amounts of data daily.  If you surf the open internet, download a
large file etc you will be charged however three do realise that some
smartphones connect to the internet for services as part of their
setup but the data consumption is so small that they aren't too
concerned.  Wayfinder falls in to this catagory as its data use is
comparitively small.  If you are getting something for nothing, don't
let on to three.  I pay for my web access to the tune of L5 per month
on my contract, however I do use it heavily downloading a lot of
audio and video content however I've never gone over any limits.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi. Three don't block internet access and further more they don't
charge

as I've never bin charged for any data. I had noticed the non charge
of data a couple of months back.

Hi,

I thought 3 was like that but am not quite sure any more because
I've also herd that this is no longer the case.

Could someone please clarify this for me fairly quickly, pretty please?
(smile).

My understanding is that one or two networks don't allow connection
to the Wayfinder Access server on Pay-As-You-Go.  Does anyone know
comprehensively which networks don't allow or block it, and whether
this is on contract or top-up?

Any info appreciated.
