3 Network In Ireland

Is it just me, or is their range of phones in the UK basically crap?

The only one that would remotely appeal to me is the Motorola E1000..

Theres a limited number of 3g phones available at the min, and the better ones (6630 and v800) are vodafone exclusives atm afaik.

I, on the other hand have no problem being biased. If everyone else had the same opinions as me (which they should) there wouldnt be any problems.

well to be fair it sounds like they are on schedule as regards network rollout, if they do indeed have 50% coverage now. Just looks like they were VERY late starting.

As i mentioned in another thread it looks like they have started doing some market research so obviously the wheels are in motion anyway.

I know this is an old thread but its better to bring up an old one than start a new one. Anyway I saw a 3 Ireland ad today so maybe they will be startin sooner than november. Checked the web site but nothing has changed on but you never know

paulm17781

Where did you see the ad?

JBoyle4eva

I was just watching E4 and saw an ad for Three, the network. And on the bottom of the ad, www.3ireland.ie !! :eek:

It's coming.......but when?

mik_da_man

That ad has been on RTE for a while now,
not too sure if it mentioned the site before, but defo the ad with the aisian girl has been on rte before.

As for them going 'live' here according to reports it will be about 4 weeks (@ least) prob more, but as a heavy voda user i will be really intrested to see what they can offer me

mik_da_man

the ad was on RTE @ 1/2 time in the pool/milan match

paulm17781

The "About 3" section of the website has been updated. Only says

"3, Europe’s leading video mobile (3G) network, today announced that it has appointed WHPR to handle its public relations as
it prepares to start offering services to consumers in Ireland later this year."

So still no date :mad:

Headshot

and the website aint wotking... hmmm i hope it's being updated...
what phone u think they'll have?

CrimE

Look forward to this crowd coming to Ireland and seeing what this new competition does to liven up the market. From what my sister, who lives in the UK, says they are very good. Phones/ service etc. very good but customer support is poor.

They have a load of great phones aswell

We've heard a lot of things in this forum first. Lots and lots of facts. 3 have yet to negotiate an interconnect deal with Vodafone and were whinging about it in the Sunday Business Post. 2 months is a very short time in the snail's pace telco environment of Ireland.

wanna hear somethin even better

3g launch ready to go on thursday the prices are amazing

I think you might be surprised


Regardless of when they launch, are they really gonna be that more competitive than Meteor.. They are very competitive in the UK because it is am important market for the company but Ireland isn't exactly the same kettle of fish. What are they like in Itlay etc compared to other operators there?

I agree . Where is Vodafones 3G coverage map gone on the website by the way ? It was anaemic looking but easy to find a few months back.

u'll find the coverage map here:
