Norfolk Coverage

What network would you say has the best coverage in Norfolk in general? I live in Norwich and pretty much have shocking coverage with 3. What guys would you suggest is the best?

    Probably a Dutch or French one :rotfl:.
    How about checking your area coverage using one of the online available tools as described here http://ask.ofcom.org.uk/help/telephone/mobilecoverage

    hehe. I find the coverage checkers a load of rubbish to be honest. The 3 one said I should get a signal in several places I didn't. Does anyone have any personal experience in Norfolk?
  • I'm with Vodafone and I've never had a problem, not even when out walking.
  • I use my phone and Three dongle in and around Norfolk quite often, I have never experienced any problems in Norwich but have in a few other areas of Norfolk, although to my knowledge I’ve never had a complete signal loss.....Yet!! :rotfl:

    Yeah, we're in North Norfolk. Really T mobile or Orange are best, because they use each other's signal. However, I'm on TalkMobile and I've had no issues in Norwich or anywhere else for the matter.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    Travel all over east Norfolk/north Suffolk and have been with Tesco/O2 for years and only have a no signal problem around the general Winterton/Somerton area.
  • Have spent a lot of time in North Norfolk, especially Wells / Fakenham. I have an O2 phone and I would say definitely DON'T go for that. In Wells I get zero signal, and this applies for many areas around the coast. I find O2 very patchy around Norfolk generally.

    I have family who live around there and they tell me Vodafone is best.

    Hope this helps.

  • I lived in North Norfolk for a year -just moved back - and worked near Norwich. My O2 phone was absolutely useless and my T mobile dongle definitely had no signal just outside Cromer. It was ok nearer Norwich. Most locals advocated Vodafone - I bought a Vodafone dongle and it connected but really crawled along most of the time. Holt, Fakenham, Sheringham, Wells....all pretty patchy to poor signals on all networks when I was there, I despaired at ever getting decent coverage but luckily have now moved back home as the contract ended. Best of a bad lot seemed to be Vodafone.
