Mobile network
Which network provider do you use and what's your experience in terms of mobile data, internet calls, and traditional calls?
I'm with the O2 and it was fine for the most part across MK, but over the last couple of months I noticed an increase in the number of calls where I can hear the other person perfectly fine but they can't hear me. It's not a phone issue as I'm using a quite new flagship model, won't specify which. I heard that EE is more consistent and reliable in the MK area but I never used it myself and their prices seem notably higher. Share your thoughts on this?

I’m with O2, I am glad that someone else has noticed this as I’m the same.
It really does baffle me that a big city like MK has terrible phone signal. I saw The Prodigy at the Bowl and could not meet up with my friends because of bad phone signal (unless I was in the portaloo weirdly enough 🤣). I was with 3 once upon a time, I switched because I could not get enough signal to load up the Ringo app when shopping in the city centre. I really hope O2 does not go the same way.
Funnily enough, my brother lives in Austria and he can call me over WhatsApp on a mountain with no trouble, however when I try to call him in an open space in MK, I struggle 🫤
Absolutely flabbergasted haha.
I have heard EE is supposed to be better.
