You could do what I did - order a free Three PAYG sim and bung it in your current phone (if it's unlocked, of course). I then wandered round the places I usually am and checked the signal.

My brother in-law had a 3G mobile Internet dongle which uses the mobile phone network operate by Three and the service was awful very low data rates and that's when he got a signal to connect. He used to live near the Worpol pub.

I had Three for years. I had no serious problems with the service in Ware except in Tesco where I could get no signal whatsoever. Vodafone seems to work fine in the shop. There are patches of the town where it is dodgy, but was usually able to make a call. In general around London etc or out around the country I found their service patchy. That's probably why they're cheaper than anyone else!!

Don't go there! Three are the biggest bunch of cowboys out of the lot of them. They over exaggerate their coverage (lie to you and me) and then deny there is an issue, blame your phone or even blame the other networks. The call centres (in India) have a script so there is no possibility of complaining, you get put on hold for around 30 mins and when yoh do get thru they will promise you anything just to stop you complaining! Cowboys!

I have sadly been tied into a 3 contract and cant wait to change back to Vodafone. 3 gives a very bad signal here to the point when I call customers services they can not assist as the company do not recognise the number I am calling from!!!I can miss calls and be left phone-less by increasingly bad reception. 3 wont cancel my contract unless I pay for the remaining seven months, which is not an option to me, as could not afford to pay for two phones at once.

Not had this issue REG but I would never continue to pay for a service I do not receive. Whatever the 'contract' says.

Three agreed to cancel my contract after months and months of arguing with them, they then agreed to cancel the rest of my contract but then sold the remaining "debt" onto a debt reclamation company, who have been trying to get the money from me ever since (over 5 years now!!) it's only £18 but for me its the principle. I owe them nothing however cos everything is done over the phone with them you never have any proof! Convenient eh!! cowboys stay well away.

I have done all I can, both over the phone and in writing to try to cancel this contract with 3. Sadly, my son had a similar experience and after cancelling and getting a much better phone/contract, he had the remaining contract fee debited from his bank! I only signed up for this 3 contract as it was subsidised by a cash back. I have not had the cash back for the last four months as this company went into administration. And still I cant cancel. STAY CLEAR OF 3.

I use a Three internet dongle and the service is fantastic. I live in Ware (off Star street). Only one in a year have I found it difficult to get on line.

Been with 3 for over 3 years now, and never had a problem. My understanding is that they "piggy-back" on all the other networks, and always select the strongest available?? Never had a problem with reception where I live in The Hyde where a lot of others do.
