3g900 can now be seen in status / coverage checker

You can check if 3g900 is in your area now using http://status.o2.co.uk
or the coverage checker http://www.o2.co.uk/coveragechecker using your handset type
Well done o2 very usefull info

The map does indeed grow when you switch between 3G and 3G900 but that still doesn't mean 3G900 is active in my area. The map claims it is but it is not. Coverage Checker = wrong

I have noticed that in Wakefield as well... Maybe it is in process of rollout and that is predicted coverage shortly ? Abs @ O2 can you advise ???

O2 coverage checker is showing 3g900 in Grantham where I live but when I check in Engineering mode on my iPhone 4s it's still 3g2100. Don't believe the coverage checker!

There is no u900 in grantham... if you toggle between 3g and 3g900 - its the same

If you zoom out a bit you can see extra areas of outdoor coverage but indoor remains the same. I'm just curious as to why they claim 3g900 is on in Grantham when it's not?

that will be 3g900 from nottingham having just looked at the map and zooming out

In morpeth (NE61) I live with Edge or Gprs depending on which tower I am connected to. According to the new coverage checker, I should be able to get 3G900 outdoors, but I can't. So either the coverage checker is incorrect, or it has not yet been 'switched on' in this area!
Shame!

falkirk81 that is very weak outdoor and very patchy I would say not useable looking at that prediction

Yes it doesn't look good. Shame as I get full signal from the 2 nearby towers, just they are obviously not being upgraded.
Any ideas when this upgrade will take place?

[adamtemp64]

o2 do not say when unless they post a planned status update on the status checker

Finally spoken to o2 network services in Glasgow. According to their internal coverage maps and cell site specs, NONE of Grantham is 3G900 enabled! They did assure me it is coming soon. So that just proves that www.o2.co.uk/coveragechecker is telling porkie pies!
