My trip to Hamburg and London, some impressions

[Effendi]

At first I have to thank very much Chris (dg7feq) and Andy for providing me a Medion Mobile (Aldi) and a Virgin Mobile simcards which I used during my last trip to Germany and UK.

I spent 3 days in Hamburg and 1 day in London.
While in northern Germany I used the Aldi card on my old Siemens S55 (which my dad ruined quite a bit...). I must say I had some problems in dialing several times. The dialing time is always quite long and sometimes it didn't dial at all. Quality of the audio was also pretty bad almost anywhere, but that could be due to the S55 in not so good conditions.
Anyway I was not impressed by this MVNO... surely it's cheap but the quality seems to be quite low as well...

While in London I used the VirginMobile simcard on my SonyEricsson k600i. It was almost always on 3G, but most of the time the signal strength was very low and the phone was often missing it taking much time before getting some GSM signal. Quality was rather good, anyway. I didn't try any 3G feature.

That's all!
