Mobile Phone Signal Coverage Maps by Postcode

I just needed to know whether my 3G USB dongle was going to work when I move house shortly.

It got me thinking about whether the information that the mobile phone network providers supply is more up to date than Ofcom’s. Guess what? It is!

So if you need to know what kind of signal coverage you can expect at a particular location, just enter a postcode or town name using the links below. If they show no 3G coverage you can still use a Vodafone Access Gateway connected to your internet router, which acts like a mini phone mast (assuming you can get broadband). If you’re with another network, try searching for ‘femtocell’ ‘picocell’ & ‘orange’ ‘O2’ etc.

and of course finally, that stalwart of mast hunters everywhere:
