Bad signal for the last 5 months

Hb53111 — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 11:16:39 GMT

I have had EE inform me of maintenance in my local area since last year. I have had monthly messages telling me about this.
We are now in 2026 and I still have no signal from 9am-6pm specifically. Strange how after 6pm I get 3 bars at least.
EE will say no issues in my area then message me with signal issues and maintenance work is being carried out later.
This is not a handset issue, literally bought a new phone yesterday and still facing the same issue.

EE says they won’t have this chat with me on messenger there is no email and that I should call 150. But I have no signal!!

I keep getting told that they will fix the network issue but no fix after 5+ months! I need urgent assistance here! Cannot make any important calls and I work from home so this is affecting my day to day!

Hi @Hb53111,

Welcome to the Community!

We know how important it is for you to be able to stay connected, so I can understand your concern regarding this.

Our WiFi Calling service uses your broadband to help you stay connected during these outages and will allow you to call our team and discuss what is happening regarding this.

Outages such as you describe, are typical with short-term planned works whereby a daytime outage is necessary but service is restored out-of-hours. It's highly unusual to last for anything more than a couple of weeks at most.

I would strongly recommend using WiFi-calling in the meantime, it allows full use of your phone without needing mobile coverage.
