I remember years ago when they were one2one they were fairly pap and no-one could get a proper signal round my way- or anywhere for that matter.


I didn't know they were one2one... well my T-mobile has always been top service.
My parents are having a little trouble with them at the moment, but that appears to be "phones4u" rather than T-Mobile, i think they were sold a duff package.

well theres me and loads of other people including dave who have hated them on here, so id say there pretty crap.

it's THEY ARE, or THEY'RE. That was the point I was making. If you want to say they are crap and not specify why, then that's great, but judging by your comments on non-fiat cars, I'd say you've never actualy tried using T-Mobile.

better, you gave some justification. Thank you. only this time it was THEIR :)
 
Im thinkg of moving away from orange, they are doing my head in but, still i have been with them since 98, and they have gone down the ****pan compared to the good ole days.

Dont want to go to O2 as too many horror stories about their customer service and Vodaphone as the mess the phones up with all the live stuff. T-Mobile flex would save me money (depending on if handset was free) orange woudl remain the same, but are T-Mobile still that bad?

Waiting for the N80 to come out though so it'll be about June before I swap

Who bought Arms house??

In London T-Mobile are probably the leading the way with customers.

Nearly everyone I know is on T-Mobile and none of them have reception issues, none of them ever have to call customer services as the service is pretty straight forward; You dial number, other phone rings etc.

I've previously been a customer for Vodaphone, O2, Virgin and I am currently with Three.

Vodaphone service was great, so great I often said to people "I might cut off I'm going in a tunnel..... hello??? JAM your still there, well anyways I'll see you later.... later!"

Virgin were alright, nothing special though apart from £35 free credit when I signed up.

O2 were great too, great reception apart from when they done the promotional FREE WEEKEND CALLS FOR EVERYONE froommmmmmmmmmm NOW! then there was just no point unless you were standing underneath one of their antennas.

Three.... well what can I say about Three...... its cheap???

Well, with orange, I'd been really satisfied, but I wasn't getting a suitable deal, and if I'd wanted to get a good phone, I'd have to sacrifice the package I wanted. So i changed to O2, but that was run through singlepoint. They were the biggest pile of crap in existence. Firstly, they called me from a number I didn't know and left a message saying "call us at singlepoint, we need some of your personal information" - at this point I didn't have a clue who singlepoint were, so I didn't respond. They cut my phone off, and then charged me for re-initialising it. They also charged me for insurance on 2 phones, one that I had stolen but tey wouldn't pay up on, and the current one. And then an array of other mistakes including overcharging.

When I moved to T-Mobile, I had a discussion with a T-Mobile rep, who got me the phone I wanted, AND taylored a deal to suit me. ALso, since my circumstances changed a lot in the first couple of years, i was able to use their online facility to constantly change my contract, adding more minutes, or texts, or adding roaming facility.

I've had one problem with them, where they disabled my ability to text abroad (and call I assume), I'd been capable in Sweden, but not when I went to Ibiza. But I e-mailed them, they called me, and then enabled it. Took about 4 minutes.

Good enough for me (y)

where about's are you oop north? cos so am I... and the coverage is great.
Funnily enough, the only place I used to struggle with one2one coverage was inside IKEA...
 
I have just checked the coverage map and 100% of my area is covered. Now the interesting bit, where I live, where I drink, where I work and where my girlfriend live is voice/text only- these are the places I spend the most time in, and the video network, is not covered. If I went 1/4 mile down the road I can use it.

Looks like im on a lemon as I use the video calling and 3g functions

You really should try justifying your opinion sometime.
I have been with T-mobile (formerly one2one) for 9 years now. My SIM card still has one2one written on it.
When they first started, they did admittedly have less coverage than other netwroks, so they were priced more competetively. Over time the coverage has improved. In the last couple of weeks we've had a couple of cases where sammi has had no signal on O2, and I've had a full signal.
Customer services? Who really needs to call customer services that often? I've phoned them probably less than 10 times in the years I've been with them.

On the flipside, I had a former boss who was on O2, who kept getting other peoples calls, and calls he made went to the wrong number :eek:
I also have a friend on O2 who was always phoning customer services as he was having problems.

So I've been very happy with T-Mobile. The only thing I haven't liked has been the Sony Ericsson K700i, but you can hardly blame T-Mobile for that.

See Beau? That's how you give a reasoned opinion. :rolleyes:

That K700i was pitiful. It kept crashing, the joystick didn't work, you'd stick the charger in, it would make that *bing* noise, over and over and over until you disconnected it... pants.

the D750i is cool though
