Question

Network coverage poor at my location.

Good afternoon, 

 

I have joined ID mobile this week and have switched over from O2. I am currently based at Norwich and the signal near my work place (NR3) is pretty poor and I get one bar 90% of the time and 2 bars for the other 10%. 

 

I’m curious as to whether there are set to be any signal improvements planned within the area. I have found the deals with ID great but I don’t want this to come at the cost of a worse service. 

 

If there are any other methods that will improve my signal, i would be interested to know.

 

Kind Regards 

 

Luca

    Hi ​@Luca21514 

     

    Thank you for getting in touch, and welcome to iD Mobile.

    We're sorry to hear that the signal around your workplace in the NR3 area isn't meeting your expectations. While we don't have visibility of any future network upgrade plans for specific locations, network improvements are continually being assessed and carried out by our network partner based on demand and coverage requirements.

    In the meantime, you can check the coverage in your area using the link below:

    You may also find it helpful to try the following steps:

     

    Reinsert your SIM card

    Try your SIM in another phone

    This will help determine whether the issue is related to your handset or the SIM card.

     

    For iPhone (iOS) – Reset Network Settings:

    Go to Settings → General.

    Tap Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings.

    Confirm the reset when prompted.

    Once complete, return to the home screen and restart your iPhone.

     

    For Samsung – Reset Network Settings:

    From the Home screen, swipe up to access Apps → Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Network Operators.

    Turn Select Automatically on or off.

    Alternatively:

    Go to Settings → General Management → Reset → Reset Network Settings.

    Confirm by tapping Reset Settings.

     

    Thank you,
