Hi Andy. When I used T-Mobile I couldn't get a signal unless I was approaching a train station or getting near one.

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! -

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.
