Hi all,

 

any idea if there has been a mast issue around ashdon saffron Walden.

Had good coverage until Wednesday last week and it seems to be a dead zone now. Now zero bars on a few devices when we were getting 5g indoors previously.

 

ee and o2 are fine.

Hi ​@Jgarrett92

 

Thank you for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear that you've suddenly lost coverage around Ashdon/Saffron Walden. I understand how frustrating this must be, particularly as you previously had strong 5G coverage indoors and are now seeing zero bars across multiple devices.

 

As the issue is affecting several devices, it may indicate a local network or coverage issue rather than a problem with a particular handset or SIM.

 

In the meantime, please try the following:

  • Restart the handset and allow a few minutes for it to reconnect to the network.
  • Turn Airplane Mode on for around 30 seconds, then switch it off.
  • Set the handset to 4G/LTE only and test the service again.
  • Check that the handset software is fully up to date.
  • If you're using physical SIMs, remove and reinsert them after switching the devices off.
  • Test the service at a different nearby location to see whether coverage returns.
  • If possible, test one of the affected SIMs in another compatible, unlocked handset.

If you're still seeing zero bars across multiple devices, please contact us via Live Chat and provide the exact postcode/location affected. Our team can check the network coverage, any reported outages or planned work in the area and investigate this further.

 

We apologise for the disruption and appreciate your patience while we look into this.
