Re: Re: mobile network keeps dropping out

Recently been having the same problem. Only notice it when I'm out the house. Signal (the bars) are fine, I'm in a city centre. However every now and then (like every 10 mins or so) the 4G icon will just drop out (like what happens if you physically turn mobile data off) and leave me without internet for a couple minutes, before returning. 

Sounds like it might be a sim issue? Any other suggestion, as this needs fixing as I need reliable mobile data from next month.

This started happening when changing SIM only contracts, NOT swapping phones—I've been using the S10 (not 5G ready) temporarily while my A54 (5G ready) was getting repaired. Both phones, on the previous SIM only contract, did not have this problem; both phones on the current SIM only contract do exhibit this problem (A54 is now repaired). Also to note the physical SIM was not changed between contracts (same physical SIM card is being used).

How would I report the issue to EE?

Thanks

By using the status checker as mentioned previously - https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile-coverage-checker > check service status > report a problem

There is nothing in a change of price-plan that would cause the symptoms you're describing, I'm confident that's a red herring.

I suspect there's nothing necessarily wrong with a specific radio site as such, but - in very simple terms - in the handover between them. I could explain in more detail, but ultimately I suspect this will require a fault ticket raising by CS into the radio network support area who are not customer facing. That, I fear, may be easier said than done.

CS will expect you to have tried the status tool first, and will likely want to run through many frustrating & basic checks first, they'll also probably pass you through several agents (may call themselves "tech" or "Level 2") - convincing a CS rep who has fault ticketing access, that you have symptoms worthy of a fault ticket being raised and getting an INC ref , is the end goal.

Timed examples of the problem happening (perhaps 3-4 examples over a 2-3 day period) will certainly make this easier.
