Help us improve the county’s mobile phone coverage

 If you have to stand on a chair in your bedroom to send a text message, or you find yourself without enough signal to make a call when you’re out and about, we want to know!

It’s all part of our efforts to map mobile coverage across the region so that we can identify black spots and lobby mobile operators and OFCOM to improve provision.

Since April last year, we’ve been collaborating with mobile analysts Streetwave by using devices in some waste collection vehicles to survey the quality of mobile network coverage from the four main UK providers: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.

This has given us some excellent data, helping to build a good picture of coverage right across the county, but we can make this even more accurate by hearing about your experience with mobile coverage in Norfolk.

So next time you’re at home and get frustrated that your local chippy can’t hear your takeaway order, or your phone cuts out on what should have been a nice conversation with a friend, take some time to complete our anonymous mobile experience form.
