    Best Phone Network
    Can anyone give any advice on mobile phone coverage at Keele?

    My contract is up for renewal, and at the moment I'm looking at either Orange or O2. Does anyone know if you get coverage with either of these? Thanks

    Try Giffgaff.

    Technically it's pay as you go, but you can set it to auto renew every month via direct debit so you don't have to worry about it.

    Choose the £10 goodybag and you will get 250 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited internet.

    The only real downside is you won't get a new phone, but its a great tariff, and it runs on O2's network, so signal should be good.

    02 has the best signal so any that use's 02's network (Giffgaff, Tesco Mobile) will have really good signal.

    Yes I've heard of Giffgaff. The problem is I use my phone for everything and the one I have at the moment just isn't good enough anymore so need a new one

    Thanks anyway though

    I'm in the same position and need a new phone and contract but I've found a great deal with Orange which betters O2 so does anyone have any ideas on their signal on campus?

    When I went to the open day I was the only one who had signal out of me, my mum and my boyfriend. I'm on O2, my mum's on Vodafone and my boyfriend's on Orange.

    I've decided to stay with O2, but it might be different on other parts of the campus to where I was.

    Damnit! I just got a contract sorted with Orange two days ago. Guess I'll just have to hope it's works out ok :/
