Mobile Network Questions

Do the network maps feature 2G and 3G networks?

Yes! The maps cover both the newer 3G mobile networks (where you can surf the Internet faster, and make video calls) and the older 2G networks.

Are the maps valid for mobile broadband?

Yes - mobile broadband typically uses the same network as mobile phones do. You can see this information next to many of the mobile operator maps.

How many UK mobile networks are there?

There are five major mobile network operators: 3, O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone. All of these maintain their own networks.

How about virtual mobile networks?

  • Virgin Mobile use T-Mobile's network
