    Not sure if I should be posting this in Abroad. Anyway...

    Recently bought an Orange sim and have found that the reception can be a bit hit and miss.

    Who is the best or most reliable operator over here? I'm starting to think I should have gone for O2 like I did in Ireland.

    Cheers.

    To be honest, it varies. Funnilly enough I had very few problems with Orange, but some with O2. 3 was ok. Now I'm on Virgin, which uses the T-Mobile network and it's not been too bad.

    Hmmm, there's so many choices. I'll stick with Orange for the meanwhile and see if they improve.

    The fact that I'm using an unlcoked Irish phone might be a factor too....I can't seem to access things like Orange World on it.

    I never had any problems with Orange, but I lived in the city. I've heard not so great things about Vodafone....I'd say Tmobile is probably best right now.

    My sister was with Vodafone UK but didn't find their coverage & price plans great, so she moved over to Orange UK several years ago and hasn't looked back. Their coverage seems to be very good in general in the UK (I've a PAYT Orange SIM) but not the best in parts of Northern Ireland if you're near the border. Having said that, I get Orange several miles into Donegal from Pettigo town.
