BigMouth Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I don't tend to believe what the coverage maps say. I would rather hear ot from those using the system. Is there anyone here using T-Mobile? What is the reception like, especially in Lerwick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peesterleestee Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I was on T Mobile and the signal is not very good in Lerwick at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouth Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Thank you very much for letting me know. I was sold on one of the deals, but this changes everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peesterleestee Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I had to end up ending my contract with them as the reception was not very good in town(was no signal at all in most of the pubs ) but having said that i did get a good signal out in scalloway. I find Vodafone to be much better, i have heard that o2 is as good. This was in November last year, i suppose it is possible they have improved their signal since then.

Jono Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I do live in town yeah, but im in Aberdeen at uni as well and it obviously works well here.But in Shetland i find it mostly works well - not as well as Vodafone and O2, but I like the contract (Ufix).I think the only places i can remember not having signal, in town, is downstairs in the Noost and JAStewarts house but it'd be no bother to step outside and get one.I guess if you want guarenteed signal go for vodafone or O2 but if you dont really care, then dont.

peesterleestee Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 if you can not get a signal in your house as i could not, do you recommend just leaving the phone outside and checking it periodically?(mmmh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 yeah give that a try. tell me how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouth Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I will have to re-think this. There is no point signing up with T-Mob for an 18 month contract without fairly good guarantees that I will be able to use the service. Perhaps the time has come to look for a SIM card on eBay (cheap) and give it a test. ....EDIT.... Just bought a T-Mobile SIM for £4 inc delivery. At least I can now see for myself!!

Jono Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 good plan.come to think of it i dont think i know anyone else with T-mobile in shetland so it'd be interesting to see how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peesterleestee Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 :lol:that could have something to do with the poor coverage, which i did mention earlier on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 ha ha alright.I think next time i renew my contract I may switch, but we'll see what the future brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomblands Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Out of interest, does anyone know what the 3 coverage is like in Shetland? I read a few months back that they piggyback their service off of O2 masts these days. So one assumes the O2 and 3 coverage will be fairly similar? No?
