Which mobile phone network do you use?

[vantage]

I get 100% signal nearly all of the time. My receiver is graphene oxide, supplied by Pfizer in 3 user-assembled easy to ship parts.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

On Vodaphone over here for phone and broadband, now called one NZ apparently.
Had an email off them recently saying that they were teaming up with Elon and Starlink so they can provide 100% coverage in NZ.
Time will tell, they're pretty good already to be fair.

Been with virgin mobile for years, great whilst they were using EE network. Got told they would be moving to vodaphone network a few years ago, signal went patchy.
Signal gone awful recently only to find out their using the O2 network, and end of this month their moving me over to O2 lock stock and barrel. Cheap deal with sim only 100gig of data and unlimited calls for £17 a month on a monthly contract. Would love to stay but no one can get hold of me. Would like to go to EE but their very expensive compared to everyone else. Vodaphone i only get a signal on half the farm, go right out the yard, full signal, go left nothing at all. Not sure what I'm going to do.
Back to the original post, find out which signal works best for the area you work and live in, what works for you didn't necessarily work for me.

Does anyone know when the rural network is being switched on.???.

Lebara £4.50 a month( including VAT) includes 1000 minutes calls across UK, EU, and many other countries 3GB of data all running on the back of the VODA network. Why was I paying 3 X that direct to Voda and paying £5 a day out of the country?

Been on EE/Orange for over 20 years as their coverage around here is marginally better than the competition, although the alarm system, cameras, etc on the farm are on the o2 network as I got better deals from Tesco & giff gaff & the signals are adequate.

Carrier pigeon works good. Doesn't cost a lot either

 

[uztrac]

Vodaphone 100% no problems.

Apologies if this has been discussed before. If it has just tell me the name of the previous thread.
My O2 mobile phone contract has come to and end so wanting to find out what networks other TFF members use.
According to what I have just seen on Google, EE supposedly has the best rural network coverage, how do any members find EE coverage,what is EE like to deal with?
Many thanks for any feedback.

We use a small telecoms company who lets customers try them all out for so you get the best overall one for where you are. For us it’s EE. Got a couple of data sims throwing out 80mb and the mobile phones have 4g 90% of the time.

O2 on mobile - sh ite
Lebara on calving camera - brilliant

My Kids love EE so the can nick my data , no idea if the other networks allow that

Vodafone network with Lebara for me also.

Been with them a good number of years now, and when we saw how good they were Mrs Y moved as soon as her contract expired.

Can't fault them, excellent prices, no ties, and everything is easily looked after with their excellent app.

Absolute no brainer as long as you're in an area with acceptable Vodafone coverage.

Son and I have been on Vodafone for 30 yrs. Good around here.

We've been on Orange/EE for decades. Phone mast is in view about 1000m away at the most.Use to get full signal all round the farm but now it's pretty awful.Reception is in and out and,sometimes,people on the end of the phone sound as if they are in a tin.We've rung and complained and they always say they'll give us some credit for our inconvenience. I don't want that,just give me some decent reception especially as the mast is so close.
I really don't know why this is happening, been about 4 years now.Other providers,unfortunately, are worse.

EE seem to have got worse for signal, a lot of people I know have left them and gone to O2.

orse.

Ironic given that O2 was originally Cellnet and owned by BT.

 

[Old Boar]

There is only one around here - ee. Its rubbish, the mast is down for weeks at a time. Its been worse since they switched off 3G. I have to argue every month not to pay the bill, as I am not paying for something I am not getting. Not enough broadband for wifi calls...
I joke its called a mobile because I have to get in the car and drive about a mile to get a signal.

I had my first mobile from Cellnet in 1997. Still use the same number. Only knew 2 other people with mobiles then. Both on orange that barely worked.
