East of Dulwich Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I would be quite happy with my current provider O2, were it not for the fact that in my home close to Goose Green roundabout, I get such a weak signal that I usually have to go outside to make a call. Can anyone recommend provider who might have better coverage in this area?Apologies if this has been recently covered in another thread, to which I would be happy to be signposted.

Bluerevolution Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yep, I have to use TuGo, it's free-part of o2 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/74214-best-mobile-phone-coverage-in-se22/#findComment-899206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowlander Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 The only reliable way is to get a free PAYG sim from each of the other providers and see what the signal is like in your house. It's that variable and no website will give you 100% accurate data for your particular hosue.Or use TuGo as others suggest.

East of Dulwich Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 I did try TuGo, but found it didn't work very well. Sometimes, it didn't respond when there was an incoming call, which meant that I couldn't answer. And when I called out the quality was very poor.But thanks for the suggestion of getting a PAYG sim. I had thought of this, but hoped to narrow it down before I went through the hassle of getting hold of them. I assume you can pick them up for nothing, these days?

Earl Aelfheah Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I don't know about other networks, but I'm on Three and have never personally had any problem with reception.

Siduhe Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Are you on a 3G or a 4G phone? I found upgrading my phone to 4G had a massive improved impact on signal quality at the other end of Lordship Lane. I believe this is because all the networks are focused on upgrading/improving 4G coverage at the expense of 3G, but if you're on a 3G only phone it might be worth considering.

Bluerevolution Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 There's not enough masts to cope. Everybody keeps screaming out "I don't want a mast in my road"etc but then cry when they can't get a signal. Well, there is limited capacity the masts can deal with. I use TuGo at home, technically it's supposed to use your WiFi and not masts, many times I'll get a voicemail pop up and missed call even though the phone is with me all the time and has never actually rang-nothing is perfect in these days of modern technology.
