Hi David

Well, i've worked in a mobile phone shop for the past 3 years, so i know what

 DS>                                   But Very good when over seas...
Cellnet ARE cr@p! I hate them more than i hate Vodaphone! You get a lot more
dropped calles on ther aswell.
 DS>                         Mercuary:-The is zero covrage for

 DS>                                   realy much use!
70 Miles???? Boy are you wrong. Mercury (you spelt it wrong) currently have
over 85% UK coverage, and will be 97% towards the end of this year. I own an
Ericsson PH337 on 121 and i've used it in Scotland, Great Yourmouth, Swansea 
and
Exeter, all with good service receptions.
With Mercury, you get free voicemail (free drop & retrieval) , free caller
display/ID, 48hrs free calls every month aswell as œ6.50 free calls every 
month.
 DS>                         Orange  :- nice 100%, transmiter in
 DS>                                    the village, but
 DS>                                    covarage get, very bad
 DS>                                    after about 9miles
 DS>                                    (to many hills) not much
 DS>                                    covarge over seas..
ahh Ha! this is the one i usually recommend to business users. Orange 
DEFENATLY
IS the leading service for Mobile Phones. They already have 98% UK coverage, 
and
you can use them in LOADS of other countries abroad. If you connect to talk 
60,
(the most common) you get you 30 mins of free calls every month, plus free
messages (drop & Retrieval) and caller display.
 DS>                         Vodafone:-Covarage,good in most of the country,
 DS>                                   Scotland, Close to Cellnet
 DS>                                   for over seas,
 DS>                                   Covarage in the village
 DS>                                   just better than Cell'
 DS>                                   Also 20minuets of free calls.....
NOW, vodaphone. These are complete shite, and anyone who has one should 
hange
over to either Orange or Mercury (depending on your needs). No-one 
nderstands
how MUCH money we make out of Voda aswell as Voda itself. Why do you think 
ou
can get a good phone on Voda or Cellnet for œ4.99, and a good one on orange 
r
mercury is about œ50-100???!!!
Also 20 mins of free calls, what a complete waste of time. surely 48hrs and
30mins os better! Even when it's not free, a national call off-peak on 
ercury
or Orange is only 4p and on Voda it's 18p (ex VAT). YOU ARE BEING RIPPED OFF. 
Your service provider is making LOADS of money out of you. Get an Ericsson on
Orange, you know it makes sense!
