BUYING GUIDE · COVERAGE

Checking mobile coverage before choosing

Signal quality matters just as much as the features in a plan. Use these practical steps when evaluating mobile coverage.

Why location matters

Coverage can vary within the same town, between indoor and outdoor settings, and across different buildings. Terrain, construction materials, local network demand and device capabilities may all affect reception.

A coverage map can be a useful starting point, but it may not reflect every real-world situation.

A sensible coverage checklist

Start with the places that matter: your home, workplace, regular journey and places you visit often. Check the relevant provider’s coverage information for those locations.

Where possible, consider real-world experience from people in the same area. Pay attention to indoor coverage and mobile data performance, not just whether a call connects.

Other points to consider

Your phone needs to support the relevant mobile technologies and frequencies. Some buildings can limit reception, and busy locations can produce variable speeds.

When comparing plan terms, look for any relevant coverage or connection conditions and read the information available before committing.
