Andy,

I think some phones do get better signals than others. Mike has a 6600 still in use and his signal in our home is not as good as mine and we're both on O2.

Hi Ibrahim -

It doesn't seem to me to be about this, as I've been near the window
on most trips, and everytime, many others seem to be able to use
their phones, when I have no signal, unless their all kidding, and
trying to look busy <smile> -

Hi Andy.

In my experience, it can come down to which seat your sitting in and
I'm not kidding.  I regularly travel to London on the train and I've
found that the closer you are to a window, generally the better
coverage.  It can also depend as you say on the make of the phone
your using.  My wife who uses a pocket pc experiences near perfect
coverage all over the house on three whilst I might struggle to get
a few bars in the kitchen for instance.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Don't want to start a best coverage debate, but I have found that
T-Mobile have better coverage than Orange. What I'd like to know
however, is why so many other people seem to have coverage on Cross
Country and Virgin trains, when for me with T-Mobile [and it was as
bad with Orange] I get hardly any! Is it anything to do with hand
sets? Are non-Nokia phones more powerful when it comes to picking
up connection? I'm guessing not, but can't figure out why I get
such poor coverage while others phones are ringing out all the
time! - Andy

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 -

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.
