My Vodafone network is terrible, anything I can do?
Hello, a few months ago I changed network to Vodafone to buy a new phone, I live in north-central London and have never had any network problems with previous networks(virgin, o2, orange), so I just presumed they would all be good in London... big mistake, Vodafone are just totally useless to me.
The problem has also gotten worse, when I first got the phone I was about to send texts and receive calls in my room, then that stopped and I had to goto the top floor of the house to do it, then I had to go into the garden to make calls, now I don't even have any (swear) signal in the garden either... I have also just put a T-mobile PAYG chip in the phone, which is giving me 1-3bars in my room, which is brilliant compared to Vodafones no signal.
The problem isn't just limited to my house either, I have no signal at work, I had no signal last night in the west end, with my friend on o2 next to me with the same phone and 5 bars... as you can imagine I'm pretty infuriated by this now.
Here's the cherry on the cake, I'm stuck on a 2 year contract with Vodafone now, is there anything I can do?
Sorry for the rant, thanks for any help...

Its very unusual not to have a signal in so many places.
You could have a faulty handset or SIM. If you can, try your SIM in another handset and see if it makes a difference.
If your phone is faulty and you are within the first 28 days of your contract, you will be able to get a replacement handset.0 -
As above, there is no chance that you won't get a signal in the west end - go into a Vodaphone shop and talk to them, they can try a sim swap or explain the repair options0

I agree, London is coated in mobile masts. It could be a sim/phone fault.
As to using it in the house the Vodafone SureSignal is an option.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies0
