    Default T-Mobile or 3? UK carriers: Coverage, Plan, Wi-Fi calling and Skype.

    I recently updated to 7.1.0.342 and is now considering to downgrade the OS since I've switched Carrier.
    One function Ive been wanting is Wi-Fi calling.

    I have one Sim from T-Mobile and one from Three , both for UK use with Pay as you go.

    Ive only tested T-Mobile for one week now and I find it a bit expensive, but I saw they had a 'better plan' now, anyways Three has a unlimited data plan, i think and they have Skype. But do they have Wi-Fi calling in their OS? I cant find that info anywhere...

    Anyone with experience with both carriers regarding coverage, prices, wi-fi calling and skype?

    haha I know, lots of questions.
    thanks!!

    Moving to other world carriers should be a better fit there.

    Wifi calling is built-in as part of the of OS 7.1, however only Orange currently supports it.

    With regards to coverage, Three is quite spotty with their network through my own experience but I do live out in the skirts, although I did occasionally run into problems while being in the city. Their unlimited data plan will cost your £15 per month then you have to think about BIS which will cost you another £5 a month, so you'd be paying £20 a month if you wanted the unlimited data plan too. This gives you 300 mins and 300 texts.

    T-Mobile has a few deals going for BlackBerry where you can top up £10 a month and get free BBM, browsing and email but they also have a BlackBerry Booster where you can get 6 months BIS for £20.

    Hope this helps

    Thank you very much for the help!
    For now Three works for me. As you mentioned, the coverage can be weak some places.
    But overall its a good carrier for me so far.

    Maybe I will try Orange next time, I really want that feature.

    Deepends where you live in the uk - T-mobile has terrible signal in Northern Ireland. 3's is better but still a lot of blackspots.
