Currently debating a network change (from O2) myself.....

Where to is another question altogether ;D
I'm with three which used to be OK. 4G and five bars all the time. Just lately my phone has been telling me I'm not registered on the network and I'm having to go outside to get a signal. I'm on a 12 month sim only, for now.

That smacks of potential capacity issues on your local mast/area...

Probably. Their answer is an app that uses wifi for calls, so they can just wash their hands of the coverage issues.

Any one got experience of EE via the BT network. At a fiver a month sounds like it could be a cheap option

Yes. But with 4G, that 500Mb can be gone in under a minute.

Works well enough. Can't really tell any different between my works BT Mobile and my personal EE, though one is a Windows phone and one is an iPhone, so difficult to draw direct comparisons.

Neither give goodies like Visual Voicemail, and my personal EE is not Double Speed (so tops out around 35Mb download on a good day (but always above 20Mb down if in 4G area)). Not sure if double speed enabled on my BT Mobile SIM.

If you can possibly afford it, buy the phone outright.

 If you calculate it out, buying a phone via a contract vs an equivalent sim only contract gives you an implicit interest rate of well over 10% in a lot of cases.

I'm currently with 3 paying £16pcm. But that's really due to their "feel at home" scheme which is a steal for the Amount of traveling I have to do.
