Mobile Industry Review: The best network for the iPhone in the UK: Orange

  • worldofnokia · 2 months ago
    I think Orange is the WORST network to get it personally. Poor data plans with a phone like the iPhone is just shocking. I would say from the list, Vodafone were best to get it with the data pricing, customer support and future thinking by that i mean services like Vodafone 360 and rolling out 14.4mb/s HSDPA.

    3 would be good for coverage but can you imagine calling up for something technical not on their script?

    I can't imagine that Orange won't be bringing out new iphone-centric data plans when it gets released, just like O2 / AT&T / etc did.

    That something that the iphone has done - force networks to offer unlimited data (although it peeves me slightly when they offers these plans to iphone owners only.. or it did before I got an iphone ;)

    I find Orange to have a solid HSPDA connection where the O2 user next to me will be complaining about dropped calls and poor 1 bar network reception. In many areas too where you'd expect there to be connectivity.

    Saying that, an influx of iphone will test the network; time will tell if Orange will suffer like O2.

    It is interesting, this is exactly what I hear from Orange users. My friends
    using Orange struggle with coverage and agree that they stay with Orange
    because of a) cheaper tariffs b) can't be arsed to change networks. Indeed
    my friends is a limited sample but again, I would like to read some research
    about data connection/coverage etc

    I am not sure if Orange is right for the iPhone but let's hope it is.
    Is there any independent research available that tells consumers about the data coverage etc of the UK networks?

    I am so happy the iPhone is now going to be available on Orange! Been waiting 3 months for this!
