Completely fed up of not being able to pick up mobile phone reception &#8211; not data, just the ability to do a phonecall. As you can see from my map, coverage per your coverage map is good. If that is the case, why CAN&#8217;T I FUCKING PHONE?!<\/p>\n<p>You see, I do a fair bit of commuting to and from work. I travel approx 40miles a day &#8211; I attach a handy map for reference.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6926\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6926\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6926\" src=\"http:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/EE-coverage.png\" alt=\"EE coverage\" width=\"600\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/EE-coverage.png 903w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/EE-coverage-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/EE-coverage-768x599.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6926\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EE Coverage Map which shows there&#8217;s coverage all over North Wales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6927\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6927\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6927\" src=\"http:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Google-Maps.png\" alt=\"Google Maps\" width=\"600\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Google-Maps.png 930w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Google-Maps-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Google-Maps-768x785.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6927\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My Map &#8211; blue being where I can normally get mobile phone signal and hold a conversation.
