FORUM: Battle of the Networks Reviews

I think over the years I've probably been on every network that exists so hopefully I've got a pretty good opinion on which is good & which isn't not mentioning any names (T Mobile). So we might as well start with one of the really big mobile networks & that's Vodafone. The last contract I had was with Vodafone & the only ...  Read the complete review

Here are some tips I thought I’d share when it comes to choosing and using mobile phone networks and price plans. These are the questions to consider in order to decide what is right for you. It is difficult to get the deal which works out to be the cheapest for you but here goes! I’m just going to look at it from a personal user point ...  Read the complete review

In November last year the UK law changed on Telecommunications and Telephone number porting (transfer). This used to take upto 30 days but now 5 days and (supposedly) no hassle. You are now able to take your mobile phone number with you easily from one operator to another. Or also from one retailer (on the same network) to another. ...  Read the complete review

Prepare yourselves everyone, because this isn't going to be an easy ride. The mobile phone generation has taken hold. People sitting at either end of the bus are beginning to correspond via text message, rather than shouting "Alright cocker!". Entire businesses exist only to allow you to hear the James Bond theme every time ...  Read the complete review

There is nothing worse than buying a useless mobile. Yes I did just that. In the shop I took my time and took advice and didnt go too much by the look of the phone more for the price of calls if I am honest. So when I got my cellnet home I sorted it all out and was told the money would go on within a certain time. ...  Read the complete review

We have the Nokia 3330, we had the Nokia 3310, but last year the phone that sold the most was Nokia's 3210 version of their mobile phone. I have this phone and even though it is a bit dated now, I believe it is still as good as the newest versions of the 3330 and 3310. For anyone who hasnt tried the Nokia range of mobile phones, I think you ...  Read the complete review

Some of the networks are starting to offer wap services for free, its about time they did as so far it has been one big rip off. Most of the operators have been charging 10p a min and more for this service and what do you really get for your money well so far not much and just one big phone bill, pay as you go seems to be the worst ...  Read the complete review

As someone who has sold mobile phones and owened them on three of the networks I am quite well qualified in this area. My current job involves speaking to people on a daily basis from all the networks. Orange win this competition hands down. In my oh so humble opinion of course. All the networks largely have similar coverage, you need ...  Read the complete review

OK it's not the latest, it's not flashy, it doesn't cook your dinner, walk your dog and win friends and influence people, but I reckon that the One-2-One All In One deal is still pretty good. I know One-2-One doesn't always have the coverage that other networks have - but I have experienced occasions when I was the only ...  Read the complete review

Well what can I say...... Its comes to something when we can't live without our mobile phones, but they have become a part of everyday life and they do take a huge chunk out of our income, hence the reason my partner and I decided to move from orange to Virgin. So you would think this would have been an easy thing to do think again... ...  Read the complete review

My guide to mobile ‘Pay as you go’ tariffs: I have tried to include as much information as possible and have tried to be un-biased where possible. I hope that this helps in some way if you are thinking of buying a mobile phone and looking for the right tariff to suit you. You may notice that I haven’t included Orange, ...  Read the complete review

I have had a One2One mobile for about 5 years. I am now jsut about to change my mobile and at the same time my provider to Orange. This has not been a decision easily arrived at. I am generally quite slow to change service provider of any service; phone, digital TV, doctor etc. I believe that One2One clearly offer the best tariffs available ...  Read the complete review

The UK mobile network battle - Currently operating in the UK market; Orange, One2One, Virgin, BT Cellnet, Sainsbury's One, Telecom Plus, Vodafone, and Genie. Who's leading? I wish I could tell you... With each of the companies offering much the same product, it really is hard to tell what's going on. So here's how I see it ...  Read the complete review

For the unaware - there is an option on the Orange network to have 2 different tariffs (and hence 2 phone numbers) on one phone. This is meant to serve business customers who want to have one phone with two bills for business and personal calls, but gives an option for great savings for private users. Basically, the Line 2 can be based ...  Read the complete review

I have read some of the opinions here, and I cannot believe my eyes!! Most of the comments are inaccurate!!! I even think that a few of the folks here might be working for one of these mobile!! Example "Virgin Are the best" etc... what crap! Choosing a handset and a phone company is NOT easy!! ...  Read the complete review

When I was deciding which network to go with for my first mobile, I spent a lot of time trying out the possibilities, and decided on the network and tariff that was right for me. As I am sure you are aware, there are four main networks (Orange, Vodafone, One2One, BT Cellnet, and a couple of side products - (eg Virgin). All operators give ...  Read the complete review

I have been with Vodafone for 3 years, using various pay as you go packages, and have used all of the major networks. To put them in order is tricky, as they all have their own advantages and problems. Problems with Vodafone: network is quite often jammed with users, so it can take a while to make your call. Often diverts to random ...  Read the complete review
