    You could give them a ring and find out if anything has happened locally that would affect her signal at home. I had similar problems of very poor or non-existent signal at home despite their coverage maps saying I should have great signal. When I rang, the guy I spoke to was very helpful and able to tell me that a local transmitter was faulty so had been switched off, which was probably the cause of the problem..

    In contrast our local transmitter was off for at least six weeks last year and Orange did not seem to have the slightest idea that anything was wrong.

    Because a 2g phone won't work unless theres a 2g signal so if it's only 3g it's not going to work



    Surely - you will never have just a 3G signal though ?
    I would have thought that a 2G signal would be available if there was a 3G

    No it will be like in the past you will now have 3g and 4g whereas before you will have had 2g and 3g

    Try putting the sim in a 3g phone at home and you will find it will probably work then you can decide whether its worth buying a new phone so your wife can call and text at home
    It's not just about the money
