I was wondering today as I've been trying to get hold of my missus who I know is driving between Ipplepen and Totnes. She has an iPhone on EE and it's probably in the bag on the passenger seat. It just won't bloody ring. I'm 99% sure that if she was on VOD or O2 that I would have got hold of her by now. Problem is you can't do that as the data is crap all over our area. My VOD sim rings in my pocket, in the car, in the deepest pit you can find.

So these surveys of network reliability, how do they work? Do you send someone out with a phone in their pocket and see how many times you can call them? Or do they only take into account actual calls made ie, when the caller is in service and the recipient's phone actually rings? Does any survey track how possible it is to get hold of somebody going about their daily business?

There's another bloke who's phone pretty much always goes to answerphone. You know who you are. EE need 800.
