Signal worse since switching from 3

Try the OFCOM online coverage checker for UK mobile operators, @Scarlet Pimpernel.

Thanks, that confirms we have got a poor signal now but is it possible something has changed? The whole area where approximately 20,000 people live is poor & the last update was in June 

Anything is possible, @Scarlet Pimpernel. 

Perhaps Three UK are working on 3G network service shutdown in your area, which might impact network services prior to the actual 3G switch OFF in your area.

Hi @Scarlet Pimpernel 

As @andewhite suggests, the 3G switch off is taking place and may affect your area, it’ll be worth checking the below;

• 3G is being switched off and I can't make calls. What do I need to do? F.A.Q.

Thanks but have checked the list & all appears to be in order on my (Samsung s21 5g) phone & 3G hasn't been turned off here yet. Allegedly i should have an 'excellent' 4G signal inside & out & even a 5G signal outside but i get 1 bar 4G at best & have never found 5G anywhere near by. Same on my wife's Google pixel. Only conclusion is the maps are a lie

Hi @Scarlet Pimpernel 

Please could you let us know the postcode(s) where you’re having issues?

The maps themselves are estimates, not exact 100% guarantees.

If you do experience issues early on in your plan with signal all iD Mobile plans have a cooling off period in which to return, it may be worth considering.
