I’m pretty sure that 0800 numbers are free from all mobiles these days, in addition to landlines.

My wife’s EE sim only is £10pm for 2gb & unlimited calls & minutes, surely better than Three?

I find not only is EE wifi calling crap but also EE call quality in general, always getting dropped calls and cutting out! Think I’ll change to Vodafone next time.

Only problem is I think EE’s data reception (3G/4G) outside cities/towns is better than Vodafone isn’t it?
I think it is where you live. My wife is on EE and her phone is always on WiFi calling at home even though the EE signal is always on 4 or 5 bars. I'm on Virgin which piggy backs EE's network and doesn't have WiFi calling and we both never have a problem at home. We are both high call users.

I think EE is much better than Vodafone. When I was on Vodafone I suffered crap 4g and 3g and found I rarely had a full signal unless in larger populated areas. I also had the most calls which wouldn't connect or drop out on this network, this wasn't just at home but also while out and about and I travel a fair bit.

I am only 15 miles from Vodafone's head office and had a really shit signal at home, they gave me a signal sure box which gave a full signal on the phone but it still used to clip and drop calls.

My old company phone was BT Business, the new company is Vodafone while all of our private phones are Three.

Hands down, the call quality on Three absolutely trumps the others. VF is particularly shocking and like you're talking on an old analogue handset.

I've just renewed the family's SIMs on Three so it's just me stuck with VF (and no WiFi calling on our corporate contract!)

We have both VF Sure Signal and Three booster in the house.

Am going to go with Three, just getting BT to unlock the phones then should be sorted

What are people's recommended provider? I have been with O2 business for a while. They are OK although when I have contacted CS about some issues around 12 months ago they didn't seem to switched on to fix it. I will be closing my company soon, so need a new provider and am tempted just to move to a consumer O2 sim only package.

3 were OK in the past, just their signal around here is rubbish.

Never used EE or Vodafone.

My work phone is on Vodafone and my personal phone on Three. Both work well on Wi-Fi calling. My wife's phone was on O2 and it was rubbish, even though the coverage says it should be good, so she's just moved to Three. Mind you, 22 inch thick stone walls probably don't help :-)

I would recommend not clicking links from a brand new poster resuscitating an old thread. (Apols to the brand new poster if genuine, we see a lot of this)
