Not got bars showing at all when at home, just circle with line through it.

Have also had issues making calls when outside for a fair while now.  Just will not connect. Supposedly got 4G in my area. Phone is a Samsung Galaxy from 2017 and I did see you had some issues with your network and users of this phone.

Hi ​@PamB 

 

Taking a look at our network coverage checker, there are some patchy spots around.

 

How long have you been having coverage issues?

 

How is signal away from this postcode?

 

Are you having issues with calls, texts,data or a mixture?

I noticed the circle with line through/no bars just this past fortnight really but have had issues making calls inside and outside quite regularly for months.  Very inconsistent.  I tend to use Whatsapp for calls now or landline if at home as so intermittent.  Also internet access when out locally not been good.

Hi ​@PamB 

 

Do you get a better signal when you’re away from this postcode?

 

When was the last time you replaced the SIM card?

I got the phone around 2019/2020 and have used the same SIM ever since.  Never thought about needing to change it.

 

Same problem with no signal today when in a different part of the town (WS13 and WS7).  Sorry but can only reply when on laptop at home….
