orange network - works in dulwich?

[sarahandpoppy]

Does anyone know if the Orange network is good in East Dulwich and Dulwich village? Thank you

[Keef]

I know several Orange users in ED, and they all seem happy (they can hear me when I call them).

The village can be up and down for reception whoever you're with.

I'm with Orange. Have never had any reception trouble in ED or the village. Or anywhere in London for that matter.

I'm with Orange - have had occasional loss of signal in the Village, elsewhere no problem (except parts of Scotland!).

[Rolo Tomasi]

I'm on Orange. Never found them to be a problem in East Dulwich or the Village

[Keef]

Just a thought, you're not up the top of Lordship Lane towards Sydenham Hill and Hornimans are you. There's a real reception problem there!

[Brendan]

Tell me about it. :(

[fractionater]

I'm with Orange and am by Goose Green. I find I get ocassional reception problems. I finally worked out that my reception breaks up when a plane flies overhead! - anyone else experience this?

What he said: Orange (and T-mobile) reception can be very patchy in the streets around the Horniman. I have no problem getting an Orange signal in our back garden, but often can't out the front of our house (even though it's far less exposed). I don't think it's a problem limited to Orange tho', but a general problem in this bit of ED.

Further to this discussion, I live at the top of Lordship Lane (or is the bottom - I never know) - Anyway the Harvester / Horniman museum end - and I have no reception on my mobile whatevr - and I'm with Vodaphone - does anyone reading this live at that end too - and have found any of the network providers that have a stronger signal?

Thanks!

I had orange from dec to march-Complete nighmare no signal whatsover.Orange kept making excuese

that there masts were down,and just fobbed me off saying the engineer will look into it.Phone was practically useless.

Now with o2 great signal.Never got any refunds from orange-dont touch with a barge pole

[Michael Palaeologus]

I am on Vodaphone - the signal at my place - opposite The Gree bar on ED Rd is rubbish.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Of course all you O2ers will be celebrating being able to have an iPhone after todays news

of course, if this were a thread asking about the latest mast erection , signal strength wouldn't be the issue

[Mark]

I don't want to hijack this thread so I've started a thread in the Lounge (as it's not East Dulwich specific) called Which phone - Nokia N95 or a Blackberry? . Any advice from you mobile phone people appreciated.

Only time I have a problem is on the train between Peckham Rye and East Dulwich - always cuts out on Orange. At least it's reliable and I expect it though - not like my old Vodafone which cut out randomly.

[Keef]

The problem ay Hornimans is not specific to any network, I'm t-mobile, and have exactly the same thing. It's just a black spot... Same thing happens in Black Heath Village, reception just doesn't go there (probably because it can't afford the rent!).

[AllyCat]

Thanks for the info chaps - I have a feeling O2 may be the way to go.... just haveto find a whole new phone deal and handset now ; )
