SwanR Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I’m on O2 and have good coverage almost everywhere. Hubby switched from EE as that was a lot worse at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgregg Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 O2 seems reasonable these days actually. Maybe not always the fastest data speeds, but it seems to have decent coverage. My work phone is on O2 and seems to have signal most places whereas my own (Vodafone) doesn't always quite manage it. EE doesn't seem any better than Vodafone, particularly when you consider how much of a premium they charge for their 'superior' network. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBerkshireBoy Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 All these people saying on 02 and no problems what phones are you using as a little survey. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asda piggy back off EE I believe I pay my 02 bill and the other phone goes through the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 It's been sitting in a nice warm engine bay for two days, all of the dampness telltales are red, including the one on the battery. I needed a new one sometime anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockatoo Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 . Where I'm moored in Brundall the only phone signal I can get is Vodafone so we've both had to switch to that. The only problem is their App and call center are both absolutely diabolical. If I hear the phrase "I will surely help you with that Mr Steve" ever again it will be too soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm moored in Brundall too and I wonder if you're still with vodafone and happyt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
