what is the best network to be one i am on orange pay as u go and im fed up with the lack of help and response from them for mms gprs so wahts best
what is the best network
I'm on T-Mobile - GPRS & MMS both work fine.
�35 a month contract gets me :-
750 mins of calls evenings and weekends
50 SMS
10mb or about 300 MMS's on GPRS
As of today MMS & GPRS are avalible on 'pay as you go' basis for 36p per MMS & 2p kb for GPRS. In which case you pay �15 a month contract
Best

Orange offer very good GPRS packages but their new 'Your Plan' contracts are stupidly pricey IMO. If all you want it data use (MMS & GPRS) consider an Orange 'High Speed Data Plan' contract, it's �9.99 but includes no calls. Simply add GPRS from �3 a month, and your MMS bundles.
T-Mobile offer a business contract as of today which offers very cheap line rental but no free calls. It's a good base on which to build up 'add-on' services such as GPRS or MMS. Prices are in the above post. I believe they are changing the pricing structure of contract MMS very soon.
O2 Online do great price tariffs, amongst the best value around, BUT the customer service is by the far the worst of the big 4 networks in the UK. MMS if free until 31st Jan '03 and as i've just found out, that includes GPRS WAP too (for the time being at least).
Vodafone are offering 10% of the handset prices for students, 6 months of 1/2 price line rental and free GPRS and MMS until the end of Feb if you get a Sharp GX10 or Panasonic GD87. Both good phones.
I won't recommend a network over the others as they all have +'s an -'s but I will say that I have a contract with each of them except Vodafone, and I would avoid Singepoint (O2 & Voda SP's) and O2 Online (who offer great prices) if you think you'll be needing customer services often.
Hope that helps. 😉
i'd second the no-vote for Singlepoint - They're alright if you're not after customer service, GPRS or MMS :-?
Although I've got a couple a contracts with Vodafone(Retail) I'm seriously thinking about moving to Orange, they offer a far superior network if your going to be doing lots of Data calls.
I don't think they expect a PAYG user to be bothered about GPRS/DATA due to it costing so much.
If I were I'd change to a contract, it works out loads cheaper.
a little off - but just want to say that GLOBE TELECOM (Manila) SUCKS!!! cant receive nor send any MMS!!!
singlepoint also SUCKS! no customer service trainin appears to be given to staff and the service is definetly no second to none - its practically no exhistant!
