Mobile Phone Coverage

[Anglersvista 10]

To be honest there were far better ways of checking for this, but I'm sure you had your very boring reasons.

2G signal travels better than 3G, since you're using a normal handset if you set it to 2G only you'll probably find you get better reception all over.

The option for it will probs be in the settings somewhere.

 

You only really need 3G for smartphones anyway.

That could very much rule 3 network out. The phone is not 3G and SIM card's changed with the introduction of 3G (to USIM). And 3 only issue USIM cards so won't work on a phone not designed to take them.

It's not rocket science deciding which is the best coverage for your home address.

When I moved here there was no coverage with vodaphone........

A few questions to the neighbours, folks in the local pub....and it was pretty obvious that O2 was the best coverage.

S12 is a big area.

 

O2 works perfectly in Intake but going down Ridgeway to Ford you lose signal altogether.

I may have a punt with 3 network then.

[SPWighams 10]

I have found O2 to have good coverage in S12

I would get some of the free/cheap pay and go sim cards and see which is best in your area and other places you normally use it, for example work.
