Opinions on the BT anywhere package?

Im thinking about upgrading from option 3 to the new "Anywhere" package. My main concern is the quality of the mobile signal where I live in the Colwyn Bay/ Llandudno area. Can anyone enlighten me on what mobile service provider BT use for the phone supplied?
What do users think of the free HTC S710 or is it worth upgrading to the HTC S620?
Any other general feedback on the package would be appreciated
Cheers

Vodafone.
Use this to find out which operator(s) have a base station near you.

For a extra fiver a month it is pretty good value, of cause you can upgrade aif you want more minutes and text.

I have got the s710 and it works wel, went to a local cafe yesterday which had Bt open zone and was able to use my Bt broadband talk though the mobile and also able to surf the net. the one good thing was that I took a picture of the person I was with, and sent it via wi-fi to my Bt digital vault.

the phone have a couple of faults, the one is that for some reason the zoom on the camera don't work, could be a software problem.


I changed from my old broadband ISP to Bt just for Bt anywhere.

It uses the Vodofone network, which is one of the better networks in this country.

Brilliant, thanks for the info.

Be interesting to hear of peoples experiences of day to day use of the devices.

I've had it for about 3 months and I still think it is a great deal.

Did you have to pay the extra �30 for the phone?

Yes if you go for the one with the slide out keyboard. The one which is like a blackberry is free.

You might want to ask the same question in the BT Broadband forums. Not sure how many of us venture outside the forum but I imagine you might get a better response in their.

Hmm didnt think of that for some reason. If I post the same thing again i might told off for double posting by the mods

True, I'm sure if in your other thread you explain your double post they wont mind.If you blatantly doubt post then yeah mods mind, but from experience on all forums they don't mind too much. The other option is you PM a mod and ask them to move the thread into the BT forums.
