McMess Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 It really depends on where you are to be honest. I thought 3 used o2 masts, but there are areas I get fine o2 signal but ziltch with 3. Lerwick is mostly fine, and it probably has the best signal north of Tingwall, but there are big dead zones in the south end. Not sure if anyone else has found this, but my signal seems to fluctuate wildly for not apparent reason sometimes... I live south, and I'd definitely recommend 3 down here. But for Shetland use, it really depends on where you live. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I've hed a 3 mobile fur da last 18months an da reception is best described as patchy. Lerwick is good and scalloway is a one bar job.Up north is pretty poor. I wid say if your going aboot shetland I wid stick we Vodaphone. Hope dat helps James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insouciant Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2006/may/11/newmedia.citynews 3 use Orange when you're not in range of a 3 mast (none of which existt in Shetland). And because they use Orange the reception is mostly poor (compared to O2 and Vodafone). Unless you happen to live in Bigton then it's the only provider works there.

Para Handy Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I got a call about a new 3g phone Upgrade and took them up on it.It turned out to be a nightmare A new phone arrived but with a new Contract for £40 a month which I was not told about in addition to the original phone contract they wanted to upgrade so I was paying for to contracted phones and it took over Five months to sort out and I had cancelled the second phone contract with in 4 days so get it in writing as well as there E-mails and there ironic text messages to my old phone They will screw you if they can. The man on the other end lied through his teeth just to get the sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxFusion Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I still have the last "upgrade" they sent me sitting in me desk wrapped waiting to go back! You will be able to cancel your contract under their limited coverage policy.(altho it took me a couple of months to get that from them) They didn't bother to tell me at the time that they had fallen out with O2 and only used Orange now....so basically you'd be as well off with an Orange contract imho(do they still do the free Broadband if you have a mobile contract?) back with good old Vodafone PAYG now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanKZ Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Living in Lerwick, I usually get a full bar signal from o2. But since yesterday morning, I've had near nothing when inside and when outside I'm getting 2 bars signal strength tops. Anyone else having problems?

sausagesoup Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 HI, yes I am having the same problem - infact often I have no signal at all! Its driving me insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yep, me too. Normally I can get a few bars signal in the industrial estate but over the last few days I can get nothing. Extremely frustrating! at least I know it isn't just my phone, which was getting close to going in the bin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sausagesoup Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 It's actually making me feel like a bit of a saddo - realising just how much i rely on, and check my phone! And how infuriated I get when I don't have a signal lol Just fix it 02!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
