Yes, for all it's faults, most of which I have spouted about here in the
past, Vodafone probably does cover most of what is needed and reasonably
well in most cases.

Hi
Voda works pretty well where I am coverage wise. If you want overall
coverage then voda is probably going to be the best choice for you.

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.
