3 Network Coverage
Check the 3 Network Coverage checker page to ensure there is good coverage in your area. Three Mobile used to have a reputation for not having good network coverage. However, as our mobile network comparison table shows, 3 Mobile coverage is much better than many assume - it has improved massively since its launch many years ago. In fact, 3 Mobile has approximately 1 million customers in the UK and that itself is testimony that they have decent coverage.
In essence, network coverage can be divided into 2g coverage and 3g coverage. 2g coverage is the coverage you would receive when making standard calls and text messages. 3g coverage utilises a different bandwidth and is used for mobile internet and utilises your inclusive data plan.
So how does 3 Mobile compare?
