    And when asked, the UK coverage map the offered was a single sheet of A4, coloured blue. Sold!

    Wondered why my EE locked mobile briefly displayed the O2 logo last week.

    Great deal BT

    Currently you get a choice of two "great" kinda average handsets and a whole 10Mb data. An extra half a gb os only £5.70. Go BT! No really - just go.

    Firepan... fire....

    ... if you're bothered about central London coverage.

    Work recently moved from Voda to EE, and despite appearances it seems that another network CAN be as bad as Vodafone is in central London (had two call drops this morning already)
