Only problem is O2's 3G coverage is small it only covers just over 50% of the UK population.

Heres the current 3G coverage of all networks:

O2: 55%
Vodafone: 60%
T-Mobile: 70%
Orange: 80%
Hutchison 3G(3): 92%

Heres the current 2G coverage:

O2: 99%
Vodafone: 99%
T-Mobile: 97%
Orange: 98%
Hutchison 3G: 0% (3 use the Orange 2G network for 2G coverage)

So the best 3G networks for coverage are Hutchison 3G and Orange. And the best 2G networks for coverage are O2,Vodafone and Orange.

And the best paging coverage which covers 99% of the UK population is Page One Communications, Page One was formerly Mercury Paging and was a part of Cable and Wireless. Page One and Vodafone are the only paging services remaining.
