Use of Vodaphone network

Hi, I have a vodaphone work phone that is operating with full 4 bars of signal whilst my personal ID mobile SIM has no signal at all inside and only 1 bar outside. How Can I request the Three/ vodaphone merger to be activated in my area so I can take advantage of the stronger network?

thanks

It is been rolled out gradually and there is no way to request this. For example if there is a 3 mast and a Vodafone mast in close proximity they may decommission one of the masts so there are lots of variables for them to consider and work on hence it’s going to take some time to go around the country.

Lol, you can’t. As per @MZone’s post, it’s a gradual roll-out that is going to take years to complete. Any overlapping masts will no doubt be decommissioned. You’d think that would mean the mast with the poorest coverage, but in reality Voda3 will likely switch off the mast that costs them the most.
