Best Network for iPhone is Rated to be Vodafone

YouGov recently conducted an independent survey in which it asked iPhone owners on Orange, Vodafone and O2 which network was the best for data use, such as internet downloads and browsing, and also calls. The results clearly indicated that Vodafone's iPhone clients voted Vodafone the number one network for iPhone, and that they feel it gives them the best service.

The Vodafone network got the best rating for five out of seven of the voice quality measures and all seven data quality measures, which include reliability during the day and night, and network coverage. Vodafone also received the top rating for getting and staying connected, and it has pledged to continue to build a network that gives reliable data and voice services - good news for all its customers.

Using the iPhone is one of the best tests of a mobile network's quality, because it is designed to browse the internet and download applications, which are both extremely taxing for a network. The fact that its customers voted Vodafone the number one network for iPhone is testament to the mobile network provider's ability to keep abreast of demand and ensure that its customers get the kind of top-quality service they require for an iPhone.
