The 3 Network

Any of you on it? I hope i've done the right thing, but for xmas i've bought my sis a pay as you go phone on 3. Ive only ever used orange myself. But 3 pay you for receiving calls and texts, sounds almost too good to be true!

[Gemmill 47487]

My mate used to be on 3. Might as well have walked around with a couple of tins connected by a string. They might have improved but it was nigh on impossible to have a conversation with him on his 3 phone. Sorry.

Maybe TR doesnt want to talk to her sis.

[Renton 22624]

Aren't 3 phones videophones? Maybe she wants to communicate by sign language.

Good idea manc mag

 

No, its important she has a phone, hers is playing up and where she lives there will be no landline after xmas, she has health problems inc heart disease, so obviously she needs to have a reliable phone.

 

Like you Gemmill, a friend of mine had problems awhile ago on 3, yet now, another mate says its brilliant. Perhaps the coverage has improved ? I'll try it out myself for a couple weeks and see.

yes, its brilliant, you can make video calls but i think thats only to other 3 users.

I'm on 3 and i've never had any problems with them or my phone. The contract i'm on is a tad bit expensive. But as the coverage goes it's been absolutely fine.

So now your sister's getting a second hand 3 phone! You really don't like her very much do you?!

[Toonpack 10547]

They sponsor the Aussie Cricket team, so the network probably only works during Alice Springs daylight hours.

 

The ringtones are shite as well, they all sound like some bloke blowing down a log, unless you pay for the Rolf Upgrade then you get a choice of wobbly cardboard sounds or you can choose a different stylophone

 

I'll fuck off now

aw behave Bianca

 

Of course i like her! shes more like a mum to me than a sis, being 14 years older than me. she looked after me when our mum died. The phone wont be secondhand....but i have to make sure it works ok for her....else i'll have to change it.

I think 3 uses the O2 network.

[rikko 20]

I think 3 uses the O2 network.

 

Their second gen signal is on O2, but they have their own third gen system from what i remember. A few years ago when 3 was new they had problems but that was partly down to the handsets being bad and it being new technology. Things are much better now.

[paddy 17]

i was with 3 ages agop and coverage was pap, now they have piggybacked on o2's masts so coverage is same as o2

[Gejon 2]

Someone I work with is on 3 and has sent her phone back on numerous occasions because of faults over the last few months.

That's worth knocking one off for
