How good is 3?

I'm considering to get a contract with 3, they have a very interesting deal 500 min to any network + 25 free texts for the sum of £25.

I'd like to know if anybody here has had any experience with them.
 
Well the phones are *****...

They do wierd things and are huge :shrug:

I unfortunately pay Orange a lot more for 1000 minutes a month than I would pay 3 but at least I can have a decent choice of phones :p

They use O2 for their coverage when you aren't in a 3G area so it is acceptable though.

They were 'featured' on Watchdog (or something similar). Basically, loads of people can't use their services, whether from making video calls or just making voice calls.

They use new technology that obviously hasn't been properly tested.

Yes, if you thought 2.5G mobiles like the P800, 3650, SPV and so forth were quite big then don't even touch 3G stuff :D . You could kill a grown elephant just by throwing some of 3's phones at it (DISCALIMER: ISPr in no way recommends throwing 3G phones at elephant’s hehe).

Your best bet is to wait until mid-2004, when more operators have their 3G service online, allowing for better comparison of price and quality.

Thankfully Nokia is coming out with some more sensibly sized Handsets as well. Give it time, the technology is bleeding edge ATM – it’s for risk takers and deep pockets only.
 
The fact that their customer care team is in Bangalore gives you a conception of how difficult it will be to sort problems out... repeating yourself over and over again comes to mind.

My friend was with them, for 1 month, and then got out of the 12 month contract cos it was ***** basically. Its a 'testing base', and anyone on 3 is taking a leap of faith.

God help anyone who joins them.
