Mobile phones


Does anyone have comments on mobile phone coverage in Purbeck/South Dorset between the big 3 providers, Vodafone, Orange, 02. I understand some people have problems with 02 at certain times as their network tends to get overloaded. Any info gratefully accepted. Thank you.

I would like to say I have been with O2, Vodafone and Orange. The best thing I did 18 months ago was switch to the network 3.

I have never had an issue in Studland, Swanage or anywhere else come to think of it.

I find O2 great coverage all over.

If you walk along the cliffs O2 will think that you're in France and send you a text on roaming charges! Check your bill carefully!

I've tried Orange, Vodaphone & O2 and have found O2 to be the best for this area. I've now been with o2 eight years and been very happy with the coverage.

O2 is the best for me in North Swanage and around the town. Orange just doesn't work for me, and Vodafone accepted that it wasn't suitable.

Thank you for your comments everyone.

I have been switched to France telecom as far inland as Corfe Common, and every time I go to Worth. If I call for a cab home from The Square the phone call costs more than the cab. Also I cannot get any reception at all for most of the time in my home in Durlston. I am with O2, but my husband's Orange was even worse, so he switched to O2.
