Is voicemail free?

I got it in galway, so far signal's been fine (though death grip did drop it when i grabbed hard) and 3g speed test is showing 3.1mb download speeds, which is a hell of a lot faster than my o2 broadband dongle i have up here.

how do you check 3g speed on iphone? i went to safari to speedtest and it kicks me into the app store when i try to start the test. any ideas?

I am considering switching to 3 for my mobile upgrade as you seem to get better call value. I've heard plenty of stories regarding poor customer service but since I rarely if ever call O2 I'd be interested in some feedback from current customers.

Do they allow/charge for tethering?

Do they unlock phones for customers?

i'm going to sound REALLY stupid, but what is 3G coverage used for? lol

Need a bit of help here lads, gf got ip4 on three today and her reception is awful. Shes been in south dublin and is now in the city centre. Phone is displaying full bars on 3G.

I've been ringing her from my mobile and landline, with both the reception sucks. It's cutting out etc and we can barely hear each other.

Tried the airplane mode on/off trick, still no better. Anyone have any ideas before I take it back to the store for a refund? Please?

and no, she is not holding it in that special way!!!

You with O2 or VF ?!

I dont know if you're being a smart arse or what so for the record I got the phone from 3. I'm with 3 also, moved from o2 because three's signal is better in my home and work, and they are cheaper. I WAS NOT BASHING 3!

I think he said three in the first sentence

He said gf was with 3.

Christ on a bike:eek:

False alarm folks, just had gf on the phone (again). Turns out she still had the plactic cover on the phone:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:! So it was covering the mic and speaker, therefore I couldn't hear her and she couldn't hear me!!

Wasted on her, absolutley wasted.

So no reception problem, absolutley crystal clear!

Sorry 3!:P

It was tongue in cheek.
Also with O2 and contemplating a move to 3.

Way, way better prices.
Hesitating till I hear move re coverage etc....

No worries R,

FTR, I was with 3 for a year, no problems, ever. Then whored myself to o2 for the 3gs. This was a very very bad move. Their network is not all that and a bag of tayto!

I didn't have any signal AT ALL in my work in Santry. With three I get full bars (even get two in the lift!!!). Also o2's network at home and in a lot of places aroiund Dublin was pants.

I cant fault three, I'm now on PAYG on 3gs, topped up €20 on 10th July and still have €8 left, bought the fiver internet add on and it's lasting well, more than enough.

I had trouble with the reception / emails but the carrier update on itunes sorted that. Would highly recommend them.

Fantastic. Excellent. Thanks for the info!
Can't get over the price difference.

o2 want €100 pm for 700min, over 18 mts and €199 for 16 GB iP4

3 want €95 pm unlimited mins (up to 3000), over 18mts and ZERO for 32GB iP4

Its a no brainer.

Question: Can you tether iP4 on 3 ?

Maybe she should retire back to the kitchen for some sandwich making!!!

What? Are you crazy? Sandwich making involves handling knives!

After today's episode, she'll be lucky if I let her use her own spoon!:D

Anybody know how to check your balance from the phone (on billpay)?
Also for others who are porting from other networks, what's the story so far?
Job done, or still waiting? I'm still waiting by the way.

Still waiting , was told in afternoon could take up to 24 hours because of rush.
