O2, Good Network?

Thinking of getting a N95 8GB with O2,
Been with Voda for years, but O2 seem to give the better deals,
Any thoughts on O2?

I have been with O2 since i moved here for university and they have always been good for me. Each year i get a shiny new upgrade and a better plan for an excellent price. I am now on 600 anytime minutes and 1000 texts and unlimited blackberry data plan for £22.50 a month. decent deal in my eyes as the data plan is £10 alone. When upgrade time comes along i always get the highest band as well ie get to choose what i want without having to pay any extra to get the handset.

All a matter of personal preference, O2 in my experience were rubbish, poor CS, poor coverage for my needs etc. Not sure how they are now but if you want 3G/HSDPA coverage then I believe they are the poorest for that too.

I have had no major problems with O2 in the last 4 years sinc I've been with them. Their signal coverage in and around my area (W.Yorks) is good, and much better than T-mobile who I used to use. However this may not be the case where you live so I'd check it out before you commit.

I also find the staff are generally friendly and willing to do a nice retainer deal if they think you're going to leave!

Do you mean better coverage, better customer service or better value? Or just all three together?

All three really, are they better all round?

I was on Orange since the Nokia 5.1 was out until a few weeks ago when I ported to O2.

Having read a few comments about inferior network, I was suprised to find that my 3G coverage and general signal level was higher on O2 than Orange in ALL the places I use my phone.

No regets here.

Aleem, thats interesting about signal, Voda's signal is pants where i live,
Have seen a O2 coverage map, which shows my house just outside a 3G area by a about a hundred meters
