Oddly, around parts of the UK I go, O2 has by far the best coverage (for voice/text).

Vodafone/3/TMobile are generally pretty poor.

unlimited data? I thought that was only on '3'. Doesn't everyone else limit to something small like 500MB or 1GB? Useless!

If TB's is on the network i think he is.....there is a limit.....but its 20GB/month.....you'd be hard pushed to use that a month unless you tether....and tethering isnt allowed on that network...

See my sig  ;)

Correct.

I'm hard pushed to hit 20Gb on my home broadband (ignoring webhosting, inc OOF), so no chance on a blooming phone, tethered or otherwise ::)

I'm on a shite network (Vodafone) which can't even provide decent coverage in central London. I would leave, but I get a free iPhone and don't pay the bills for it. Was £90 just on data one month  :-X

Apparently, my company doesn't get charged for data on Voda :D. But the network is so poor around these parts, and most other places I go, I can't make use of it ;D

Hence my Voda SIM is shoved in a drawer...

Would have thought with 15,000 on a company account, we would get same too. But when I got it, there was a note saying if you think your going to go above 1Gb a month, let us know so we can buy data earlier, at a cheaper rate.  :-/  :o

It took me two days to make a decent fist of finding my way around it. But I'm still finding new stuff, today I discovered it makes phone calls :o
