O2 should have invested in getting iPhones that was 4g ready but disable the 4g function till ready instead of using it as a cash cow to contribute the cost of 4g auction


Impossible until they knew what frequencies they would get.

 

Apple haven't made the phones yet.

One decision I made long back is that, if I take a 4G phone, I will make sure that it supports LTE and check whether it can be used in many countries as I will be travelling.

No the best and the one that forces them to do 98% coverage indoors read all the posts and press releases.

 

O2 will have the best coverage as ofcom will be monitoring it

iPad Pro 12.9” 2020 256gb refresh o2 family discount

My first mobile was in 1995 a CM-R111 from sony on Cellnet.

They have been, but on a different band. Until today no one knew what bands the other networks would get!!
