    My house is in a very dody coverage area in N Tipp. Mostly because of blockage by a mountain from the transmitter. Vodaphone is the best of the bunch.
    So, is there a Vodaphone mobile that has better reception/antennae characteristics than another?
    I'm on pay as you go or whatever its called with Voda but would swith to bill pay if the reception on the phone was that good.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    well if vodafone is the best for reception in your area it means so is 3 (they run of the same network)
    as for if your on bill pay or not it wont make a difference to signal and true there can be differences between signals on different phones the difference is so small it wont make the slightest difference at all
    nothing you can do really

    There can actually be substantial difference. I know a girl who lives in a older house. With a number of different phones, she had very different coverage, with the same sim card.

    Nokia 6103, Motorola V3 - Very Good

    Nokia 6101, Nokia 6020 - Okay

    Nokia 6060, Sony Ericsson K700i - Crap

    That's from her experience, and it just shows there are differences but you're unlikely to see them in a brochure. Get a phone. See if you have coverage on it. If you don't, take it back.

    That's probably what I should do. Try different phones to see if there is a difference. Good point that they won't put it in a brochure and so the sales person probably doesn't really know either. But, there must be differences in how phones are made, etc.
    Thanks, I'll give it a try anyway.
