Mobiel network - where are you and who do you use?

I think it would be useful for me, and anyone else with the same dilemma to get some feedback from the locals, so to speak.

So, what network are you with, how good are they and where in Scotland are ye?

Based in Aberdeen, but get decent coverage when doing large amounts of the N500, central highlands, yes, some areas the signal drops, but a decent coverage!

Vodafone, no problems at all with billing.

Feel I should add that I don't use any data, phone and SMS only.

I live in the middle of no where between Turriff and New Deer. I use EE because, bizarrely, I get 4G at the house which is useful because we're 4 miles from the telephone exchange and could only get an unstable 300kbs broadband connection, and satellite broadband cost £100/month and fell over lots, so now we use EE for our household broadband through one of their little box thingies.

Where do you want to use it? Scotland is a large place (especially if you've no phone signal)

Although I live in the central belt I used to spend a fair amount of time in the Highlands in the Wester Ross/Lochalsh area. I specifically went and stayed with Vodafone because of the coverage.

I'm not sure how it compares to other networks now, but I don't ever feel I have been lacking coverage too much when I return.

I'm on three. Generally find signal is quite poor in low-lying areas or in building etc, but can get full 3G and 4G in the most rural of places, when the other person with me will have none.

General rule seems to be that the quality of signal is inversely proportional to the expectation of it!
