General Comments
OVERALL I AM PLEASED WITH THREE . THE TARIFFS OFFER EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY AND THE DOWNLOAD CONTENT IS QUITE INFORMATIVE. ON THE DOWN SIDE 3G RECEPTION CAN BE POOR INSIDE BUILDINGS SWITCHING BETWEEN 3G TO 2.5 RECEPTION SO PREVENTING YOU FROM ACCESSING SOME OF 3 DOWNLOAD CONTENT. I PURCHASED THE MOTOROLA A835 THE BATTERY LIFE IS POOR SO THE FIRST THING I DID WAS PURCHASE AN EXTENDED BATTERY FROM THE 3 SHOP FOR £35 NOW THE BATTERY LIFE LASTS ME UP TO 4 DAYS . ONLY PROBLEM BEING NOW IS THAT 3 DO NOT MAKE A CASE TO FIT THE PHONE WITH AN EXTENDED BATTERY ! THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED IN FOOTBALL THE VIDEO QUALITY IS EXCELLENT BUT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION YOU WOULD RECEIVE A VIDEO STRAIGHT AWAY WHEN A GOAL IS SCORED THIS IS NOT THE CASE . SOMETIMES YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THE VIDEO OF THE GOALS UNTIL 2 DAYS AFTER THE MATCH HAS BEEN PLAYED.SPEAKING TO CUSTOMER SERVIES CAN BE HARD WORK TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS ENGLISH CAN BE QUITE DIFFICULT . I EVENTUALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO COULD SO HAVE KEPT THEIR NAME AND EXT NO (WISE MOVE)



MY CONCLUSION ABOUT 3 IS YES THEIR IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT .I REMEMBER BEING ON ORANGE AND ONE2ONE WHEN THEY FIRST CAME OUT AND HOW BAD THEY WERE , POOR RECEPTION , WAITING OVER 1 HOUR TO SPEAK TO CUSTOMER SERVIES ETC THEY HAVE IMPROVED

SO MUCH SINCE THEN AND I AM SURE 3 WILL DO IN TIME . IF HUTCHINSON CAN DO WHAT IT DID TO ORANGE TO 3 THEY WILL BECOME AN EXCELLENT NETWORK
