    Hello.

    I am considering a move to the three network in Nortern Ireland. Does anyone know what the network coverage is like for voice calls?

    Also, when you travel into the south, what would the best network be to use?

    Cheers.

    Don't know what the coverage is like in the north.
    EDIT: If the coverage is patchy I assume they would have a roaming agreement set up with another network.

    Are you on about when roaming with three or what would be the best mobile network to join in the south. If you are on about roaming the best network to pick would be three as it doesn't cost any extra. It would be like you were on the three network up north :)

    Re: roaming. Cheers, I'm sorry I didn't make that very clear. But yes I meant roaming? Really, I would move onto three with same costs?!

    Re: coverage. According to their map on their web site, it says it should have almost full coverage of NI... just would like the opinion of someone on the network for a personal opinion on that one.

    Well down here three have around 80% coverage and when you go outside of that you fallback on the vodafone network. I imagine three would have a similar agreement with an operator in the north if they didn't have near full coverage.

    In N.Ireland, if a 3 phone goes outside a 3 coverage area it roams on to the Orange network.

    Also, roaming in Ireland will be free for you thanks to "3 like home", as long as you roam in the 3 Ireland network.

    Thanks so far for everyone's comments. I will be moving to three as a new number and all.

    Anyone have any NI comments about the service?

    and sure they got over 80% coverage in ireland in less than two years not including vodafone back up

    they've been in the UK for 4 years so wouldnt it have high penetration in the north? then again ive been to a lot of countries and Ireland is well up there for coverage

    Actually just wondering what the 3 coverage up north is as I have a lot of relatives up there (especially in Tyrone) and it would be nice to not get ripped off while roaming.
