Except in the Inverness Fairways Travelodge.

They do have the biggest 3G coverage of all the UK mobile providers, and they are increasing that each week through MBNL with a target around 98% coverage. I'm sure there will be lots of complaints from people not wanting a mast near them, the same people also complain that they can't get a mobile connection too

Thats to get you to pay for their service

It wouldn't surprise me, Glenn, though Perth and Todhills were fine. I've just been checking the coverage maps for our autumn trips and think I might need a Vodafone backup.

It sounds like 3 have come on leaps and bounds over the last few years. In their early days, it was virtually unusable.

It still is in certain parts of Inverness.

Well, 3 don't actually manage their phone network anymore, Ericsson do. Ericsson have also recently signed up Vodaphone and T-Mobile to manage their networks too.

Is Orange still 'independent', Glenn?
