Pretty good, but there are some problems. The main one is that they cant
handoff calls to 2.5G if you move out of range of a 3G cell, which will
result in a dropped call.

> is coverage as good as their web site says ?

Yes. Remember that 3 use O2 for fallback coverage if youre outside a 3G
area.

> and can I use a non 3 phone, such as an Orange M500 or clone ?

Nope.

No.

Coverages in not the problem, the problem is that when you move out of
3G coverage it drops back to O2 and at this point the call will drop.

> and can I use a non 3 phone, such as an Orange M500 or clone ?

No, as 3 will easily detect this and cut you off for breach of contract.

Started off a bit useless, but are now very polite and seem to be able
to do what you want them to do.
Very few problems to report here!
