Finding the best Network

Toots0 — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 23:44:42 GMT

I'm looking to change networks as I've had so many signal problems with o2.

Is there a way I can order a sim card to see if it is the mast nearby or if it is their network please? Thank you

You can't really conclusively w/out taking out a contract, which could be a 1 month SIM-Only contract. You could get a PAYG SIM but that won't use 5G or some of the frequencies of 4G.

I concur with the reply above - you can use the online coverage tool to get an idea of predicted service in any location. But the only guaranteed test is to get a PAYG SIM and try it for yourself.

If 5G is important to you, then you can only test that using a pay-monthly SIM not a PAYG one.
