    Hey @Mancman,

     

    Have you tried some basic troubleshooting steps, such as turning your phone off and on again. If you’re still experiencing issues let me know.

     

    Thanks.

    Tried everything I could think of, my partner who is in EE has no problem getting a signal. This problem is only recent, up to 6 months ago I seldom had any issues. What do you suggest now?

    It’s dreadful no matter where you are, and to be honest, in my experience they don’t care. They just want your money, even when you tell them you can’t get a signal where they say they’ve got exception coverage
