    Hi ​@Lkoffie,

     

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing poor signal.

     

    Please try the following troubleshooting steps:

    1. Restart your phone.
    2. Turn Airplane Mode on for 30 seconds, then turn it off again.
    3. Make sure your phone software is fully up to date.
    4. Go to your network settings and ensure Network Mode is set to automatically connect to 5G where available.
    5. Reset your network settings.
    6. If possible, test the SIM in another 5G-compatible handset.

     

    You can also check the coverage in your area using our coverage checker: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-support/coverage-checker
