Iv an iphone 5 with 02 my issue is with the internet connectivity, I pick up perfect 3G ect in other areas but where I work & live the connection is awful! Been informed there is nothing I can do as there is simply no coverage in my area, Looe cornwall pl13. Is there anything I can do ?

If coverage is fringe then turn off 3G in your phones settings and use 2g with slowed down speeds.

Check your service status http://status.o2.co.uk

Clean your sim which could help.

looe in cornwall is 2g and 3g is a long way away the iphone will be displaying gprs in that area, not a lot can be done unless you are in one of the 200 areas that will get 3g soon http://news.o2.co.uk/?press-release=o2-4g-reaches-a-third-of-the-uk-population-as-network-modernisat...

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the update! Have you manged to ascertain the distance in miles to 3G? I couldn't manage it from the Blue article.

I only looked at coverage checker for the distance to 3g I did no measure it but nearest would be north north east of the op but maybe a question  for the virtual network interview team.

There is very patchy outdoor 3g only but no use to the op

Here is a screen grab

2g

and 3g (not same scale)
