Moving house no mobile signal

I'm with Three and in a few weeks I'll be moving to a rural village. Looking at the OFCOM map it looks unlikely I'll even be able to get voice calls on Three but all other providers look fine. I'll check properly when I visit tomorrow. My contract with Three doesn't finish until April 17 so can I get out of it if I live where there is no signal? I'm happy with them but there's no point I can't get a services. I'd like to keep my phone.

    No, you cannot. Consider yourself lucky that it's this April, not next.

  • Thanks I've got that app. The broadband speed is pretty rubbish there too, less than 2mb and we've been used to 30 on Virgin so I was thinking on looking into using mobile network at home if it was better. Looking at the three coverage m!ap they say it will be fine for 3g but is the OFCOM site more truthful? Might just get a sim only on another network if its an issue. Ah, the sacrifices needed to live in a rural area!

    Not really going to know by looking at the maps .Live test on site is best .
    Plenty of good signals in tower blocks if you fancy a change .

    Like Three-In-Touch, Homesignal box needs a good broadband connection.
