Mobile Phone Network in Southampton

Superacid

I have heard off my of my friends that is already at Southampton Uni that the phone signal can be really ****.

I'm going to be starting a new contract soon and I wondered which network will get the best signal in the area.

Don't go for Orange. You can't do anything in the SU! Partly reason why I switched after Freshers (which was a long time ago!)

I'm on Virgin, which is pretty good...think most of the other ones are ok too.

Good to know Virgin are decent as I just started a 18 month contract with them :smile:

If Virgin is good, then T-Mobile will be too.

(Note that I base this on the network itself, not the uni)

O2 are good =)

Vodaphone (or whatever they call themselves these days) have a mast on top of the Maths building, so if you're with them, you're probably good.

I have 3, and the signal was generally OK, but pretty crap in Monte halls, and I think at times it didnt work at Avenue. I also switched from Orange, but I didn't notice bad signal; I just wanted a new phone :beard:

I had O2 and it seems the best for me. I was in Monte 4 and the signal was bad. But i could stil call by the window and I had my friend stay over (and she was t-mobile) but she couldnt get a signal! So O2 at least beats t-mobile :biggrin:

Orange signal is rubbish but I've had no trouble at all since switching to 3

Virgin is good. O2 is crap for me (most probably because my sim is 7 years old and I need a replacement which has 3G). I've had to resort in diverting my o2 calls to me virgin number (i.e. 2 mobiles).
