what signal?!??


I live in SN10, was told good signal area when completing the ‘check signal’ on the website. It has to be said it is beyond useless. I was previously with EE and could make a call for the duration of my 20 min commute. I now disconnect at least 4 times and spend half of the drive trying to dial and connect. 
Switch from EE to UD sim pretty awful, unable to speak to anyone for help. Unable to take/ make a call or text.  The chat kept suggesting settings tweaks and every time I tried the chat disconnected and you had to start the process again. Two hours and a promise of £30 goodwill compensation that never materialised. 
I couldn’t have a lower opinion of this service

From my experience some network providers coverage checkers are swayed in their favour. Does the Ofcom mobile network checker also say the signal is good for your postcode and postcodes you’re normally in? - https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/mobile-coverage

Are you using the phone you used on EE and if so is it a Samsung?

Also have you checked your phone is set up correctly for 4G and VoLTE?

I have to admit I too would prefer to be able to call and thus speak someone rather than chat via typing. If your area has remnants of 3G dotted about then your phone could be dropping to 3G and this would explain the data dropping out if its bouncing between 4G and 3G.
