Three mobile phone company

[drummerboy]

Thinking of upgrading my phone which is O2. Just seen an ad in free newspaper advertising the new mobile phone provider “three”. Has anyone used these, what is the service like, reception – coverage ect. Can you carry over your old 086 number with you. Any advice much appreciated.

i remember hearing somewhere(mite have been in this forum) that they were rubbish in the UK but haven't heard anything yet about 3 in Ireland.

Logged on to their website www.three.ie It seems ok. Basic €25 monthly package and you can keep own number but just worried about the coverage, reception ect. thanks

I've hear their coverage & handsets are sh!te in the UK - they keep bring prices down to attract business. Their prices seem competitive here but not much use if phone doesn't work. I think 95% of the their coverage is non-3G too.

Fella in work got one, says its fine in Dublin, no problem at all, problem is he lives in Naas, where the aul' coverage aint that great!!! Good plans though, he went for the highest one and gets 600 free minutes a month Nice Nokia handset too!
