We are aware of a signal issue that is affecting some of our customers in the Stacksteads area. Our mast in the area had to be removed from the existing site in December 2023, as this was requested by the landowner.
Our engineers began looking for a new location as soon as we were made aware our equipment had to be removed, and we have located a new area. We have started legal negotiations with the council to acquire the land and complete surveys at the location to make sure this will be suitable for the equipment. Once all legal steps and surveys have been completed, we can start building the equipment needed for the new mast and confirm an approximate on-air date.

Hi there @Swestwe
I am very sorry to hear this and hope your husband is OK.
If you have no EE signal, the call should connect to the emergency services if the area has coverage from any other network. I am sorry to hear you had problems connecting at the time.
Leanne.

Hi everyone.
Thanks for coming to the community.
If you are affected by the mast being offline, please get in touch with our mobile care team to discuss your options.

I got rang and was told there was no issue in my area does this post cover shawforth too because I had issues there before moving up to stacksteads? I was told to go to an EE shop it was my phone nothing your end waste of my time that was. Now we all know it's not even the Wifi calling is stopping people ringing through and me to them to me connection is very poor when people do get through they cant hear I would like compensating too in meantime hospital and doctors can't get through people like that how long are we talking about here because Rossendale Council take the mick too if that's who we are waiting on as well.

can assure you several of us are struggling with the wifi calling even working text messages arriving only when out the area or days too late several calls going through the wifi too has also been playing up for several of us. All you get when you ring is theres no other issues our end that's odd try resetting your router??
15-12-2023 12:24 PM
It really is not supporting sms text messages the amount of times mine wont send and fail point is should have the service we pay for not using a phone as a walkie talkie through another service we pay for point is still charging us like we are using a full mobile service when mobile service is totally not working that should be full refunds to customers.
15-12-2023 12:26 PM
When I ring the customer services are still refusing a problem your end keep telling me to go to EE phone shop its a brand new phone and the wifi calling is not working in this area either it's not supporting incoming or out going calls or sms texts at all.

If anyone is having issues with WiFi-calling, I would suggest starting a separate individual post about them - explaining the symptoms and what exactly has been tried thus far.
Advice can then be offered to hopefully resolve those separate issues.

Would it not be more prudent to speed up the process of fixing the problem. Also admit there is a problem and explain to people how they will be compensated instead of keep passing it over and saying ‘ turn on WiFi calling’?
your customer service is absolutely shocking and it’s on par with the lack of signal now
