Anonymous · ‎26-08-2015

where I live there is no O2 3G not even edge only 2G and the O2 have no plan to do anything about it but I have found out that 3 have an amazing 3G signal round here so why can't O2 customers use 3 it's the same company ?

It will be one the buy out is complete but not yet.
We don't know if there will be any mast sharing though.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I guess that if they have no plans to upgrade then mast share would be there only option. Unless we all get changed to 3 anyway. I have with O2 for years but just lately there service has been poor it a shame they were great

Also they are on a 4G network upgrade rollout across the country so signal has differed for others as well
