Do iphones improve the coverage on the 3 network, or should we not believe the hype. I am with 3 and its awful in my home, but fine outside of it. I live in Herne Hill. Does anyone on 3 get a good coverage in their home in that area, and if so are you using an Iphone?

I use an Iphone and the service was terrible.


Even worse they made it really hard to cancel even though I was in the 14 day period. Kept transferring me to different numbers all in Indian call centres - took about 3 hours.


Then 2 months later they tried to charge me line rental again. I had to call my bank to put a block on them taking any money.

Brilliant in Lordship Lane down the Dulwich Library end. Was using my 3 'all you can eat' data plan on my phone to tether wirelessly to use the internet on my laptop and work from home when we were waiting for BT to install our new broadband. Couldn't believe the connectivity and I was using it to make calls at the same time.

Vodaphone were telling me the 'coverage' of 3 may look good on a map but often the signal cannot penetrate a building so indoors at work/home some users may not be able to get a decent signal so have you leave the building to speak.

I think Vodaphone were feeding my lines, but I'd be interested to hear if other network users have a similar reception issue as per posters above - where indoors (or only part of indoors) there's an OK signal, but outside the building it's fine.

I'm also watching 3 and started a similar thread a few weeks ago.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
