O2 is good as long as you are in the central belt or a major town but is pretty sketchy out in the wilds.

I've been on O2 since it was BT Cellnet! Never really had a problem and i live in the sticks, yet the sister-in-law is on Orange and can only get a signal on my living room window sill! laugh

Chances are these days if you don't get a signal with 1 carrier, you struggle with them all so if you really want an iPhone then get one.

signal is good, customer service however is useless argue as soon as you sign that piece of paper they dont give a toss.

My company phone was recently changed from Voda to Iphone O2 and I don;t really like it. Signal coverage is terrible in my office compared to Voda.....and I don't really fancy the Iphone either.....thinking of selling it......

I recently changed from Vodafone to o2 to get an I-phone and would thoroughly recommend it.

Coverage is good, I live in west end and get signal easily as good as previously with Vodafone.

I would suggest in buying a in car charger though from day one as battery life isn't great! Great phone though,

I was on O2 in Edinburgh and it was excellent. TBH I rarely didn't get reception with O2 apart form in the middle of nowhere in the country.

I am now on Orange and now realize how good the reception was on O2 really was. I only get reception in certain places in my house and it is right annoying.

Cheers folks. Pretty comparable to Voda by the sounds of it. At least for my needs anyway.
