Understanding coverage
Things that can affect your signal:
 |
Device Not all devices support alll kinds of networks. A good place to start is ensure your phone or tablet is compatible with 3G, 4G or 5G. |
 |
Weather Bad weather has a way of bringing everyone down. Sometimes, this extends to our mobile networks too. |
 |
Location If you’re underground (like a carpark) or in an elevator, coverage signals may be weak or intermittent. |
 |
Movement When driving, your phone has to leapfrog between cell towers to keep you connected. This switch may affect your connectivity. |
 |
Geography We’d love to flick a switch and turn all our networks on for the whole country. But for now, 4G or 5G might still be on its way to where you live. |
