Virtual Networks:

Virgin Mobile: T-Mobile UK
Fresh Mobile: T-Mobile UK
Mobile World: T-Mobile UK
TalkTalk Mobile: T-Mobile UK
Take 5: T-Mobile UK
Blyk: Orange
Tesco Mobile: O2
BT Mobile: Vodafone
Asda Mobile: Vodafone
Sainsbury's: O2
Kingston Comms: O2
3 Mobile 2G Coverage: Orange and O2

T-Mobile cover 98% of the UK population which is good enough unless you live rural parts of scotland and wales, the frequency is also good and doesn't interfere with TV's and Radios unlike Vodafone and O2 where you hear that awful static noise when you go near such things.

Mercury One2One (T-Mobile) was launched in 1993 and was the worlds first digital GSM mobile network. It was a joint venture between Cable and Wireless's Mercury group and United Artists now called Qwest/US West which are the former owners of Telewest. It covered Greater London and southern Hertfordshire until 1996 and spread to other cities over the years, Its development was very slow. In 1997 Mercury and 3 Cable companies where merged by Cable and Wireless and the mobile arm was rebranded to 'One2one'.

In 1998, One2One launched its Pay As You Go (Prepayment) mobile service called 'Up2You' it offered calls to all UK networks and all UK landlines for 50p per minute at all times. In 1998 it lowered its calling costs and became the cheapest on the market.

In 1999, the Virgin Group became the first to offer a virtual network, it choose One2one for its operations.
Also In 1999, Cable and Wireless and US West agreed on off loading One2One. Deutsche Telekom acquired One2One (Mercury Personal Communications) between then and 2002, it began a process of improving the network including network coverage and increased from 96% to 98%, in 2002, It rebranded the company to 'T-Mobile' as we know it today.

Key points to remember:

T-Mobile 3G coverage is much greater than O2's network and is even bigger than Vodafone's!

T-Mobile have recieved awards for offering best value on the market.

T-Mobile have the best Mobile internet service at great prices!
