coverage

[LM62]

Hi everyone, I will need to spend some time in a remote place

(EX31 4PN) and the map says good coverage. Are they to be trusted?

Once I get there I will need to stay there for 60 days...Thank you

@LM62 The coverage checker is computer generated and is a guesstimate at best. There's no guarantee. You can check the other networks on their sites, but they most likely are guessing too. If one of the other networks gives you better coverage you can get a Pay & Go sim from them for the time you're there. You can also use WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger over WiFi when you can't get a signal, or use WiFi calling if it's enabled on your phone:

If using a dual sim device, have a look at AnywhereSim as they provide a UK roaming sim card and we use them in some of the more rural locations...   

You need to allow roaming.
