Can you cancel a contract if you lose signal?
Getting absolutely nowhere with 3, It's gone as far as the CEO who sent it back down the chain of command again.

Out of contract - been paying £50+ per month for 4GB data for years

Miss sold contract, I'm not sure?
Long time follower, first time poster! Back in June 2022 I entered into a new contract with a mobile phone provider.

So recently took out a new mobile contract direct from EE. I was under the impression that I would get a hard search on my credit file, but so far all I have is a soft search on my credit file. Is it common to have a soft search first then a hard search after or later?

Getting no signal, how do I proceed?
2 months into a contract with 3, all was fine, full 4G, occasional 5G, I was happy enough. Couple of weeks back 4G signal indoors or outdoors went to zero or 1 bar, just enough coverage to display 3 on the phone but that low of signal will not let me make phone calls or use any form of data. I have full 3G in this area but…
