Three mobile.

Advantages: i cant do it .... i can not lie ..... is there any ?... sorry no.
Disadvantages: you contract ends when they want it to. customer service shockingly bad.

...that phone ? simple Wrong , argos - no phones on 3 payg, currys- no phones on payg, phones4u - nope car phone warehouse - no, At this point we have two choices, eBay or 3 mobile website , we opted for ebay and my phone arrived 2 days later a nokia 6280 perfect. Month 9 of my contract , my husbands phone died , he runs a business and his phone was very important to him there was no time to waste , we got on to 3 customer services that said they will pick the phone up in 3 days look at it try and fix it and return it . total length of time 15 to 20 days. No problem my husband could use my phone while his was being fixed , however I asked seen as it would take so long and seen as this is not our fault (i.e it has not been dropped from a really high bridge , landed on a motorway and run over by 10 cars) we would not be charged for line...

Three's mobile broadband

Advantages: no contracts
Disadvantages: not as fast as many non dongle internet

...I recenly purchased a pay as you go dongle from three, which enabled me to get mobile broadband. I purchased a 3GB allowance top up that cost me 15 GBP. All top ups last for 30 days. I purchased mine on 01/09/09 and it expired 30/09/09. I spend about 4 hours a day on the internet, I do not download any music but frequently watch videos on sites such as youtube.com. I did not run out of top up and found the speed to be quite fast and connection to be quite good. Customer service is great as you can speak to someone by calling the three customer service number if you have any problems, which is an 078 number (so cost the same as a mobile number and not the dreaded 0845 or 0870 number) and the staff are extremely useful. There are no contracts, credit checks or anything like that and work just like topping up a mobile phone....

Three.co.uk (3 network) could be a good mobile provider.

Advantages: Inexpensive plans and tariff
Disadvantages: network coverage, phone reception/signal, and customer services

...me to call them when my phone doesn?t have or loss its reception. (In my mind at that time, I was like ?HOW?") The thing, I was very dissatisfied with Three, was that they hung-up after they tried keeping me into their non-sense discussion and failed to nagging me to stay with them. This was theirs just bloody rude. I believe that I am in good-manner and very polite. I called them again, and they asked me same questions and I had to do whole process again. This time, they put me on hold for over 24 minutes (I put the phone on speaker aside awaiting for their response and doing my work). I think they intended to do this. Hope that can help you make a well informed decision to choose your mobile services provider. I think you will be OK if you are often outdoor, and make or received few phone call. From my point of view, there are...

A simple guide to a Nokia mobile phone

Advantages: Looks, weight, simple to operate, sound quality
Disadvantages: On Off switch, clunky software

...I have kind of steered clear of Nokia products after my partner?s Nokia phone stopped working one day before the warranty expired & when she contacted them two days later they didn?t want to know. Even the guys at Virgin Mobile tried to persuade them to help but no they weren?t interested. So why am I reviewing a Nokia phone & won?t it be rubbish as revenge to the companies lack of help in the past. Well no, this review is based on a Nokia phone supplied by my ex employer & the review will not be influenced by previous experiences. The Nokia 6300 mobile phone is rather lightweight & small mobile phone, no fancy flip up or slider action screens here, just a straight forward ?candy bar? style phone. If feels good in your hands, slide it into your top shirt pocket & you would never know its there. It has a brushed aluminum style...

3 Mobile 'Broadband'

Advantages: The auto-install works well under both Vista and Linux
Disadvantages: The dongle, poor connection, relatively expensive

...software. And no, my problems weren't resolved. So to the connection/speed issues The dongle allows for connection via 3g (fast) or HSDPA (fastest). Now, prior to the network 'upgrades' HSDPA was indeed fastest, but not quite as realiable as 3g, but not so noticable as to be a real concern. Now however, when Messenger Live disconnects or I get an unconnectable website, I can be 99% (if not 100%) certain, that it's because the dongle switched from 3g to HSDPA. Now I know what you're thinking. Reconnect Messenger or refresh the website, and that's a good theory. But in practice it really isn't that simple. Sitting clicking connect now or pressing F5 for 20 minutes before you give up and decide to remove the dongle, well it gets a bit tiring after the first two or three times you go down that route. Now my solution is try three times, if...

a very durable mobile by nokia

Advantages: slim design and metal body
Disadvantages: battery life is little less

...Nokia is a top most brand in manufacturing company of cell phones in the world. The quality and durability of the mobiles of nokia is awesome. Screen quality of the mobiles of this company is also very good. They are very rough and tough phones as compared to other manufacturers in the market. Now I am going to discuss about the nokia 6300. it is a slim category phone. The body of this cell is made of solid metal. So we need not worry about the care we have to give to phone. Very low maintenance is required for this model. Design and display Dimension of this phone are as follow: 106.4 x 43.6 x 11.7 mm, 56 cc and weight is about 90 gm. So we can see that the cell is very slim an due to metallic finish it looks very attractive also. weight is also not very much. So it is very easy to handle. Key pad is also of a optimum size. So...

3 Mobile Broadband

Advantages: That one is a bit of a struggle
Disadvantages: It doesn't work, Customer service

...Well it has been a little over 1 years since I have written a review for this site and the only reason I am writing this one is to try and prevent anyone from going through what I have Around 3 months ago I obtained an 18 month contract for 3's mobile broadband service. The reasoning being that I would get quick and easy access to the internet. How wrong I was however the service did not work properly from the very first day. I contacted 3 about this problem and was advised to leave it a couple more days just incase the connection had not been put through. So I waited, but still it did not work. So I was back onto 3 did several speed tests with them turned the computer off and on again unplug the modem and moved it to a different slot and generally wasted an hour of my life. They then said they would investigate the problem...

Nokia N95 Mobile Phone

Advantages: easy to use, long battery life, large screen, excellant connectivity very robust
Disadvantages: software glitches, size and weight.

...I have owned the n95 for over 1.5 years now, when i first received it there was some glitches with software etc but all where fixed quickly and with as little hassle as possible. in a day in age when mobile are getting smaller the nokia n95 may way your pocket down slightly But it is sturdy robust and lots of fun. the games available for the handset are great and the connectivity is fantastic, for a large phone the memory is quite small but can be expanded to 8 gig with a very cheap memory card which comes in handy. I use my phone daily at work as plumber meaning i need a phone which is robust and durable, the n95 surpasses my expectations easily, mine has been dropped so many times i cant believe its still going strong, i even dropped it into a newly fitted toilet b4 and only had to dry it out before switching it back on. it includes...

Review of Nokia N95

Cowboys of the mobile phone world - 3

Advantages: Cheap initially
Disadvantages: Didnt want to help when things went wrong

...I hadn't the 3 mobile network a second thought until I met my partner. I use Virgin personally and am very happy with them considering I bought my phone almost 7 years ago and have never ever had a problem with it or the network coverage. I did consider switching to 3 a year ago when I discovered my partner and I could get very cheap calls to each other, that is until he started having problems with this phone. I forget the exact name and model of my partners phone but it's a clam shell design one made by Sony. He upgraded to this particular model a year into his contract and at first seemed very happy with it. After about 3 months though things started to go wrong, the phone would after being charged up for several hours suddenly lose all battery power and switch itself off after only a few minutes, once it happened during a call...

3 mobile broadband- dont bother

Advantages: you get the internet, sometimes.
Disadvantages: its an expensive, awful product.

...Right, bear with me, this is my first review. I got myself an 18 month contract with 3's mobile broadband purely as it came with a free laptop and the overall cost of the contract was about £70 more than the laptop retail price. Now i thought this sounded FANTASTIC as a 3 gig allowance and 500 texts a month isnt bad. I dont think i could have been more wrong. In the shop i arranged my contract i was given a coverage check. This turned out to show a fairly decent signal strength, as does the one check on 3's website. Im lucky to get 1 bar (out of 5) signal at best. the modem wont let you connect if your not within 3's range even if it shows signal on another mobile carrier. This can be extremely frustrating as the modem then likes to disconnect itself, which is a complete pain if your shopping or something simillar. Now...
