The WORST network on the market!!!! If you experience any problems with your phone after the 14day cooling off period this network basically has a "tough! deal with it" attitude. Coverage is RUBBISH, one minute you have a signal then the next you are cut off. I would reccommend that you go and spend your money on a carrier pigeon rather than choose a phone on this network, it will be more reliable and infinatly easier to understand than the call centre staff! I have had problems with two mobile phones, both unlocking and answering calls without prompting and ringing last dialled numbers in error and although the store I purchased them from are willing to exchange, 3 will not allow it......Its after the magic 14days!!!!!ARGHHHH

So long as you don't go abroad this is excellent. Good value, add full internet for not much, reception is outstanding (it uses o2 at no extra cost if no 3G coverage available, so nearly always have full signal) Value abroad is terrible, calls over £1 per minute, in many places not possible to send picture messages, and GPRS is not avaiable outside UK. If that doesn't bother you then go for it!

The network isnt to bad I would have thought it would have better coverage by now. Upgrading with them is a pain if you like the tarrif your on but want a new phone you have to pay for most of the phones unless you settle for an old model. The customer service is really hard work. If you have a problem with your phone they offer to repair it within 3 days. So your without a phone for 3 days not too bad, but when the phone comes back and nothing has been done what is the point. I'd be on calls for 5 mins then it would cut off. I'd phone 3 and warn them of the problem before getting into a conversation and it would cut off after 5 mins but they couldnt find a problem.

I am on 3, my daughter is on 3, she is in Aus for 6 months, she can phone me for FREE!!!! (Inclusive minutes... '3 like home'). I get skype (free internet calls), Orb (access to my PC from my mobile!!), microsoft messenger, TV, unlimited internet access (£10 a month), Mobile Mail (pushmail), slingbox (haven't got it but I could watch my home TV on my mobile if I desire), if I lose my signal it goes to the orange network (so I have a back up network free of charge), good god what else do you want!!!

I love 3. Ok their indian based call centre can be hard to deal with but the rest of their network features are stunning. Call holding, waiting, forwarding, 3-way calls, internet, broadband, TV, etc etc. Plus they are pretty cheap on the £25 pm deal (500 mins pre-pay). Unfortunately, I'm now back on T-Mobile :( Recently though, 3 have had issues - expecially with voicemail. I kept being told my voicemail was full... "You have no messages" - Despite this I was still charged for calling the voicemail :( 3 were not keen to refund my wasted credit despite admitting that it was a fault of theirs affecting their entire network.

the future is here! wow had all the mobile networks and three is a breath of fresh air, good coverage, lots of extras and freebies, free downloads when on contract, very good customer service, i cant fault them, even the opportunity to go to a three network in another country and still use ur minutes allowance, wow! they have sent a shock to the other mobile phone networks to get their act together and its about time! only very minor this is that i think maybe a wider range of phones, anyone agree with me?

I went with this network purely for the price of the contract. I don't need all the gadgets & gizmos, just a reliable phone. What a mistake!! The Nokia 6120 was fine, but in my nightmare fortnight over 50% of my calls disconected half way through, including important business calls. 3 had me running around having an obviously OK phone checked out to no avail. It was at one of the technical centres that a guy told me that there would be nothing wrong with the phone even before he looked at it! When I told him the problem & which network I was with he just said, "It's the network, they're terrible!" Why couldn't somebody have told me before I signed up!!!

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, I had been with 3 a couple of years ago and found them lacking in all areas; decided to try them again as problems may have been due to them being a new firm at the time, but no, they are still as bad as before. I agree with Anette AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

I have had the wors experiance of my life with this lot - DO NOT SIGN UP TO 3 WHATEVER YOU DO!!!!!! Here are the reasons: 1. Call-centre in India. Poor lines, hard to understand due to strong accents, cannot help you with anything other than bog standard issues, as they are reading answers off as screed. You might as well have a fully automated service. RUBBISH. 2. Calls gets disconnected at random when the network coverage suddenly disappears. This happens in central London, and not even when surrounded by tall buildings! 3. Poor international network. I cannot get text messages from abroad, unless the person abroad has signed up to ONE specific network that 3 has a deal with. It's the equivalent of only getting calls from people on orange in the UK. It's really not good enough, and creates a masseive problem for me. 4. 3 shops. Staff are generally unhelpful and downright rude if you go in to try and sort out a problem after you have signed on the dotted line. AVOID 3 LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!

I wouldn't reccommend 3 to my worst enemy Once you sign a contract it's not your phone you're signing for, it's also your life! Customer Services don't help the customer at all they just want to argue with you. And they've given me a rubbish phone that in 9 months has lost the sound and vibrate alerts and a battery that has to be charged at least once a day!
