john taylor.'s Review of Orange Mobile Phone Network
29th Mar 2001
Overall Rating
- Value for money
Orange provide excellent coverage.
Bad Points
They do have a capacity problem which can drive you mad 'network busy' constantly in built up areas. When I complained, they said that they were aware of the problem but had no short term solution.
General Comments
I recently moved to Cellnet, I was with Orange for 3 years and noticed the problem becoming frequent throughout 2000, this prompted my move to BT Cellnet-the only UK net that runs a national dual band system, their 900/1800mhz system seems to provide a very good overall service. Best of all Cellnet have the lowest landline to mobile rates, something that many overlook when going mobile.
See my rating for Orange !
On average, people found this review very helpful

Vodafone and Cellnet have both bought some spectrum on the 1800 band, only Cellnet currently uses it to ease network congestion in some areas!

I question BTCellnet's "unique" ability to run on dual band 900/1800mhz. They are licensed (along with Vodafone) to use the 900Mhz band. The 1800 band is for Orange and One2one only........
