Move them to o2 and give them discount?!
Oh they already are, what I meant was that for that community, not my parents specifically.

I did get some EDGE cells picked up last night on EE on Seeek because of weak 4GThe thing is they won't. Just like O2 leaves towns with no bandwidth in 2024, the people need to figure out for themselves what network works in X and Y area. In every rural place I can think of there is usually a network that's atleast crappy if not No Service, but people generally talk to each other and realise what works and what doesn't. The way you described EE's coverage of that area, I doubt anybody was using EE in the first place, no mind Three
This is always EEs approach though, they favour data rather than calls, Modern technologies are always put infront even if that means a worse experience for the customers. I am curious though, can you even connect to EDGE? I haven't been able to on EE, I just see No Service if it's a bad area
Seems like i'm lucky, I get No Service instead!I did get some EDGE cells picked up last night on EE on Seeek because of weak 4G
I'm surprised the Boost Box is still working, you should look into WiFi calling and check if your devices support itI would also like to know what they plan to do, I live in a rural country side in Northern Ireland in a no coverage zone from any provider and have lived here nearly 10years now and when 02 switch off 3G I won't be able to use their 02 boost box anymore that works off the internet and broadcasts a 3G signal around the house for our phones to pick up.
None of the providers have expanded their coverage to reach our area yet.
As they move forward to switch off 3G hopefully they do something to expand coverage and upgrade their networks at the the same time.
Also as goverment move forward to switch off the copper phone lines by 2025 hopefully they actually do something to get Fibre to our house, Others on my road have had access to Fibrus as a provider from Project Stratum for the past 2years , Fibrus have their cable on the pole in my garden, and i'm not able to sign up, and the Department For The Economy have no intrest in sorting that out -.-
WiFi Calling is inconsistent though, not all devices support texts through itI'm surprised the Boost Box is still working, you should look into WiFi calling and check if your devices support it

My old phone didn't and I know of a member living in a rural area also having issues with OTP texts with WiFi calling, requiring their partner to drive the car somewhere
Pixel and P20 supported it fully from what I can see though
Pretty sure O2 have had this for some time now.Indeed and last I checked o2 didn’t support SMS over WiFi calling. All the other network support it.
They do support SMS over WiFi calling, had it work on a Huawei P20 and my Pixel 6 Pro.Indeed and last I checked o2 didn’t support SMS over WiFi calling. All the other network support it.
Confirmed, EE really have shut down the 3G serving my parents' rural community, so that leaves them on EDGE only or band 20 that doesn't work.
Vodafone and O2: 4G.
Three: 3G only.
What does EE plan to do about rural communities? Will they be using the SRN or are they too good for it, instead writing press releases about their failure to meet the same rural coverage as VO2 from several years ago?

From what he said I don’t think he had any coverage in the first place, just that when the 3G switch off goes ahead he won’t have access to the network the O2 Boost Box provides. He should switch to another provider which has Calls and SMS over WiFi calling, is my best adviceI feel there will be many cases like yours, that will simply be left out. The only silver lining is mobile coverage as that impacts an area other than just you.
This is Trooli right? They did the same here but to someone a few streets overthis other provider, I won't make them, has informed me they will not be serving my housing estate for 'commercial reasons', probably due to the fact they charge twice as much as anyone else, still that leaves me with one choice of provider and anyone who happens to use their network

So you're unlikely to see the true clear speed of gigabit broadband?Nope not them, they are slowly coming towards me but no guarantee they will. They are in a village a few miles away at present. I think they have my village in site. Personally I think the only reasons we even got one provider to serve our estate is because a new estate is being built to the side and another new one being built opposite, about 250 new homes total. Fibre is the only new infrastructure being installed.
