3 or T Mobile route to go down for a Galaxy S3. Both companies get mixed reviews. I am currently on a Virgin Sim only, been ok but they want far too much for a SG3. Any thoughts / advice, thanks
 
I am on t-movile and they are not bad, but look at the future, as t-mobile are getting 4g soon.

So should be a better network.
 
Orange doing a deal where if you sign up for their nfc payment deal and get a s3, you get £50 to spend using contactless payment. Not bad
 
Three is a great network, got my S3 on Three in June and haven't looked back since. Previously I was on Orange who were appalling.
 
T-mobile UK have paired up with Orange, so coverage is most likely better than other networks. T-mobile also seem to offer better value for money, specially if you pay low monthly rate for the trade off of buying the phone out-right. The more you pay per month, the cheaper the phone, but over the life of the 2 year contract, you end up paying more in total. Just a tip.
 
I am also on 3 - the one plan.
May be a factor to consider for you but it depends whether you would use tethering or not - 3 allow tethering which was handy for me, not sure whether T-mobile do? - I'm sure somebody will be able to confirm for you.

3 are dirt cheap but have the worst customer service known to man.

T-Mobile merged with Orange = Everything Everywhere so = win.

I'm on Orange and use my S3 to tether my Nexus 7.
I think it's a feature of the phone rather than the network as Orange wanted £5 per month to use tethering on my Iphone 4.
 
In my area 3 has a bad reception and T-Mobile always has a full HSPAP signal so I can only compare signal by what I have experienced.

I've been with T-Mobile for nearly 5 years and it's brilliant. The prices are very reasonable and the signal is fantastic.

LTE (4G) will be available in T-Mobile and Orange soon and Samsung are releasing a quad core LTE Samsung Galaxy S3 near the end of September with 2GB RAM :)
 
Which is basically the Korean sgs3...

The 2GB RAM isn't a selling point though. Thats all just to handle LTE. It wont out perform the international sgs3
 
I'm with Vodafone got a good deal. Had a rubbish signal in my house so they gave me a sure signal box. Now get full bars all the time in the house.

Same here, at work 80% of us are on Vodafone all the others either don't work or the signal is hit and miss.
