A lot more than you about RF propagation, apparently.

Let's put it this way. I live near Solihull, where you would expect
reasonable coverage. I get an endstop signal on all networks *except*
T-Mobile, with which (well Virgin, actually) I get one or two bars
indoors, maybe three if I stand by an upstairs window.

I have also just started using Tesco Mobile, which is the only one of the
virtuals not to use T-Mobile, it uses O2. So far, call quality has been
excellent as has coverage.

BTW my boss uses Voda as all the company mobiles are on that. He gets no
coverage at all in his office..!

Everything, as you're always saying 1800 is no good. If 900 is good then
the difference must be due to propagation, as there's nothing else
different.

So why do I get an endstop signal on Orange but not on T-Mobile, who are
*both* 1800..?

And it's MHz Jim not Mhz, wake up at the back..!
