What mobile phone network is everyone on and how good is the service?
I need to change providers soon. I’ve seen 3 have unlimited data for £18 a month which would be perfect but I’m not too sure how their coverage etc is?

Virgin provide mine and my contract is currently £35 a month for an iPhone 11 with 8G of data, unlimited texts and calls and AirPods. The service is actually pretty good, I rarely ever have issues with it.

Vodafone, only choice when you live in london, the networks of the others (maybe not EE) is awful here.

Three are a scam,
and dont trust their unlimited offer,
i had 60GB with them,
and their 4g speeds was so slow I had to constantly be on 3g and barely used 2GB of my 60GB allowance that i was paying for.
They are a complete scam.

And i never use the 8GB and bc it rolls over every month i always end up with like 18GB (idk how this is possible because it resets after each rollover so the maximum amount i ahould have is 16GB but yeah)

I’m on O2 after being with EE for like 5+ years. Got an IPhone 11 with 50GB of data, Unlimited mins and texts for £40 a month. Tbh both networks have been really good for me personally. I’ve heard bad things about 3 and Vodafone so I’ve always avoided contracts through them.

Had Tesco for the past 2 years and they're great. Of the others I've tried: Virgin were terrible, 3 were not good at all but this was when they were still kinda new and I gather they've improved, and Vodafone were fine.

3 speeds are good and their 4g coverage in towns and cities is better than most - however they have more gaps in their rural network than EE or O2, as I found out when we went on a little log cabin break recently. My signal dropped out completely once we were about an hour from the nearest large town, my wife (O2) still had 3g out in the middle of nowhere. BUT within towns I consistently have full bars 4g whereas hers can be up and down.
So it depends really. If you mostly stick to civilization, 3 is great. If you tend to go off the beaten track a bit you might lose coverage.
