How would your imaginary ideal mobile network look like? :)

Hi, hope you are all well slight_smile

 

Just wondering what kind of perks offered by other mobile networks, would you like to see on O2? Or perhaps, there's something that O2 offers which other networks don't which is important from your point of view?

 

Here goes  my personal list.

 

What I like on O2:

 1) TuGo. Yes, sometimes it can be buggy and unreliable, but no other UK network seem to offer such a flexible solution of its kind, imo. It runs on 3 major smartphone OS + Web, works abroad and acts as a visual voicemail tool as well.

 2) O2 Travel. A very reasonable solution for my EU travel needs, which is superseeded only by Feel at Home by Three. The latest, however, works only in a handful of countries.

 

What does EE offer that I wouldn't mind seeing on O2:

1) Better signal and 4G coverage. Yes, it's very subjective, I know, please don't hit me too hard for this one slight_smile

2) Roaming data add-ons outside EU, which one is bound to buy if he/she wants to use the Internet abroad, otherwise there would be no data service, but no risk of any shock bills either even if data roaming is accidentaly left switched on.

3) Global roaming minutes add-on for receiving calls and making calls back to the UK at a quite reasonable price. Therefore one less reason to look for a local sim in the country of your destination.

 

Anything that Three customers enjoy which would make me, as an O2 customer, slightly jealous? The aforementioned Feel At Home, perhaps. Especially true for some remote destinations such as USA, Australia etc.

 

About Vodafone... Not to offend anyone, but could not really think of any unique perks which could lure me into getting their sim, even as a spare one. 😕

 

What would your thoughts be?

Date speed reduced to 2g speed when you have used all your allowance rather than being cut off completely.

It would work as well in a rural community as it would in a major city.

Agree With MI5 re 2g access when data allowances are used up.
