I think it's from launch coverage. On the API if 800 is coming soon then it has a separate 800 Coming option which doesn't show up on the map. |

That Staffs, Cheshire, Shropshire map looks like standard coverage and still poor. Maybe it just shows they aren't doing much as o2 have covered this area fairly detailed

Doesn't look to be a lot of change here in North East Hants but I suspect that will change with time.
900MHz works nicely on O2 and Vodafone so I'm hoping to see Three coverage matching that eventually!

I think it's mixing 1800 + 800 based on the comments I read from the developers whilst looking through the source. I think once it is live you'll put your device in and it'll say if it's got VoLTE enabled and if so enable the extra layer which shows all 4g coverage available. whether 1800 or 800. I could be wrong but that was how I read it. |

As far as anyone knows it won't be available on the iPhone until October but it's the one that is probably most likely to get it no matter where you get it from because on the others it's software update based rather than carrier update based.

Here is the Shropshire, Cheshire and Part of Staffordshire section of your request! (showing 800mhz)
http://s1.postimg.org/qo0mvlavz/rsz_4g_not_a_hope.jpg As others say it's got to be total last resort levels switching to this 800mhz as the speeds from such few masts will be dire if not. |

One thing I still don't understand is the "800MHz can be switched on at the backend" bit. Does that mean someone could ring Three and request the possibility of having no CSFB available, or something else?

Excellent news i have the 6plus, so it will work I assume. My phone is currently on Voda but unlocked. When I do switch to 3 would it be as simple as connecting to iTunes for the update, once live?? Thanks forgive me on my ignorance 😀

It will be interesting if 800mhz works any better, or if someone is going to have to put a mast back in locally (as Orange did, but EE turned off). |

Try Fleet GU51 area. The coverage maps show that 900 (O2/Voda 2G & 3G) and Three and EE 4G (1800mhz) cover the area perfectly. But when I go there it is always "No service" on all 4 networks.
It will be interesting if 800mhz works any better, or if someone is going to have to put a mast back in locally (as Orange did, but EE turned off). I'll have a look at some point.I do find that in a lot of places, O2 and Vodafone are still providing coverage where EE doesn't and that hasn't changed in the last three years. Yes it's GPRS but I'll take any signal over no signal. In terms of pure signal, I'd say EE is less far-reaching but when it's available it's obviously much better. |

Noticed it's your first post, stick around and keep talking, most of us don't bite.

The middle bit of Wales (IE not the very north or south) seems to have less Three 4G signal than Mars.

It's interesting that it is being quoted that IPhone 6S and IPhone 6 and plus model will not be VOLTE ready until October on 3.
From the conversations I have had this week with my contacts at both EE & Vodafone they are expecting the new carrier file to be released with IOS 9 will enable VOLTE on their networks although it will not all launch at once the technology will be there. i am well informed it costs the networks very large amounts to get Apple to do special carrier files in between IOS updates to enable features. |
