Phone signal

[Glow worm]

On O2 I was fine in JOG. In fact O2 was fine all over the UK. People have said reception in Scotland is bad, but I didn't find that at all.

Shame - I was looking forward to being well out of reach!

As the OP I asked about 3 plus any others. 3 worked fine outdoors, but couldn't get a signal inside the B&B (I didn't camp in the end!). My Asda sim'd somewhat ancient phone worked faultlessy everywhere I used it.

giffgaff's the best network. You earn money for getting others signed up. Runs on O2 aswell.

I used an iPhone 4 on 3 during my LEJOG last month and was pleasantly suprised to have had excellent phone and data reception (indoors and outdoors) everywhere except our last nights stop in Melvich on the north coast of Scotland.

You'll have to visit another country then! Anywhere in the UK you are not far from civilisation these days. Even in the far north of Scotland there was plenty of traffic and full phone signal.

As Three are a 3G only network, you'll find you'll have a lack of coverage in most places outside of major population centres...

I thought Three just failed-over to O2's 2G network if the phone couldn't get a 3G signal?
