Starlink as a landline?

Shame we can’t follow the European model of just locking onto the strongest available network.

I didnt know that was how it worked in Europe, seems very logical. Im on vodaphone and its complete garbage, crappy signal and 5G is more or less non excitant. I might look into going back to EE, the reason I left them as the monthly charge doubled for excising customers but was cheaper for new customers! 

 

Thats only if I verify my age on pornhub to make it worth the extra cost like.

Three and Vodafone?

Merged a year or two ago, but Three never had their own genuine network.

Existed on parts of Hutchison (Orange) and T-Mobile.

They haven’t.

O2 merged with Virgin Media.

 

I knew it was someone, thought it was Vodafone, sorry!

It’s quite a scandal isn’t it?  I went on a cruise in 2018 stopping in 7 different European countries and then Russia.  With the exception of Russia every country automatically locked onto the best local signal.  Automatic roaming.  And as soon as we were back in the UK I was stuck with the useless network I was on (Tesco who use O2 I believe).

 

I left Tesco mobile soon after and now get better reception, but still really poor at work.

 

Even in the EU it was quite a battle to get high roaming charges removed if I remember correctly.

The Honest eSIM allows you to roam quite a few apps including nav and messaging, I don't have it but was working in Lincolnshire this week and the phone signal is rubbish on my network up there. From £3.75 a month might be worthwhile in Wales?

Interesting, thank you.
