We are with Vodaphone and have been for years. We have no end of trouble using our phone around the world. It locks us out and we have  a code to unlock but it makes no difference. After much moaning Vodaphone said our phone was not a triband so we changed, Guess what no change!!
ust spent 3 weeks in US, ok in New York but in Nevada and Arizona only T mobile signal. Vodaphone just said sorry no coverage.
We travel 3 or 4 times a year and having our own business we need reliability. Paid £25 for approx 3 mins in Vegas last month on hotel phone, my mum is just going to have to talk faster at these rates
Looking back we should have asked other Brits which network they had but you feel a bit daft
Appreciate comments on networks used in America Canada & Austrialia and far East. Also Greece and Kenya as we have travel plans to these areas 
I can then go out armed with some info and not sold another dodgy network
Thanks

                i have only ever been with Orange and never had a problem where ever i have been
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                My son is on O2 but when he was in canada much cheaper to buy a new sim but has used O2 in germany iraq and usa he has a contract as you may have guessed he is in the forces
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                not necessarily the cheapest but we use T-mobile, we have a couple of duel band phones for Europe and a couple of tri band which will work anywhere or so they say 
 where ever we have been as yet not had a problem

                As said earlier Orange have been really good , my hubby was using 3 and even though he activated it for using abroad he was never able to , but Orange always came up trumps for me . Since our recent visit to France and Spain hubby has changed networks
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                Definately Orange
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                we are orange and it has always been ok...(contract)
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                Thanks for that, Orange seems to be the popular choice
I will look into this further and thanks again

                Well I've never ever had a problem with Vodafone, used them in Tenerife, Spain, Portugal, Southern Ireland, Portugal, Holland, Germany, & Hungary.
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                I usually swear by Orange - have used them in some real weird and wonderful places (Galapagos,Maldives, Easter Island to name but a few) BUT in the Bahamas last week the ONLY UK phone that worked was Vodafone  (between a group of us we tried T-mobile,Orange & O2 to no avail).  On the vodaphone we could send and receive calls and send texts (could only receive texts sent from vodaphone in the UK though, replies from Orange never arrived!!) - weird!!!
