Best Mobile Reception

scruffyone

Can anyone tell me how I can check to see who provides the best reception in my area. If there a site I can log into?

I'm not sure about your area specially but generally speaking, the networks that generally provide the best quality reception are:

Vodaphone
Orange
O2

Worst receptions:
T-Mobile
3
Virgin Mobile (Uses T-Mobile network)

Go to each of the networks sites - you can put in postcodes & they'll tell you the coverage.

I always find it's better to ask people though, as the websites will only tell you if it's non-existant! People will always tell you when they've had problems!

I agree with the post above - the best way to find out is to ask people what works. The information on the websites is often too general. Local delivery or tradespeople are often good sources of information because they need their 'phones to work in all parts of a town or area. Discovered that O2 works best round here.

Try this link. It shows main networks and you can zoom in to your area. The best coverage for remote areas is Vodaphone. The guys who work on the West Highland railway Line use it. Last year I started climbing all the Munroes for charity and used Vodaphone with 90% success. Although when I had a very bad fall last Nov, my O2 phone wasn't damaged and I got a clear signal. Saved my life!!
Have also been told that the strength of the in-built antenna is relevant.
