Hi,
I am looking to move from orange pay as you go to three pay as you go.

Reasons for this, 3g will actually be 3g speeds, 3g coverage in my area and the fact it drops back onto orange's great 2g coverage :), oh and value!!

Anyway, one thing that is holding me back in the misses is on three and used to moan about how much it used to cost calling a 3 mobile, is this still the case, or is it the same as any other network these days?

I am a big orange fan, have been for years, i even waited to see what the merger of t-mobile/orange network's to see what it was like and in my case, 2g coverage orange is so good, i never see t-mobile's network, not even 3g, shame.

So how much does it cost to call 3 mobiles these days? still more?

Many thanks,

stuart

The thing with Three is that due to their network merge with T-Mobile under the MNBL arrangement you'll have better coverage across the nation as a whole anyway, freely roaming on to and off of the two networks. You won't know, and it won't show as far as I have witnessed.

If your wife is on Three then your calls are going to be free between those handsets (afaik). But anyone calling your Three phones will pay the flat mobile rate for the company they're calling from. Unless, that is, the call is made within their monthly call bundle if they're on contract. BT seems to charge 12.5p per minute during daytime - there is no additional charge shown for calling any of the individual mobile networks, it looks like a flat fee if I'm reading the tariff right http://www.productsandservices.bt.com:80/consumer/consumerProducts/pdf/UKInternationalprices.pdf

and a 10p connection fee for a chargeable call
