Hi,
I live in a rural area and really struggle for mobile signal. The below shows the Ofcom signal checker results for my house...
As you can see indoor coverage is non existent.
When we moved here I got hold of a load of PAYG Sims and tested out the various options, all pretty much zero.
We ended up on Vodafone with a Sure Signal V3 unit. We're on our second as the first one packed up and they're not cheap at £100 a go.
Currently got two phones on our account which are on SIM Only 500 mins / Unlimited texts / 5GB discounted from £18 to £9 for 12 months.
That discount comes to an end in a fortnight so our outlay will double. The Vodafone "upgrade" SIM only plans don't seem good value at all.
Do I have any options other than Vodafone? As far as I'm aware the only other network issuing a femtocell is Three but they'll only sell you one at their discretion.
Only looking at sim only, both got phones we are happy with and only on one income at the moment so the cheaper the better but options just seem so limited.
What about WiFi calling is that an option? Is it reliable? What happens with text messaging? Is it a viable solution or a gimmick?
Any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks
