First, a bit of background:

All three networks have good nationwide coverage, with Three boasting the best coverage in rural areas thanks to their use of both traditional mobile masts and their own network of “mini masts” (also known as femtocells or microcells). VOXI’s coverage is the second-best, while Tesco Mobile comes in third. All three networks offer good deals on both pay monthly and pay-as-you-go plans.
