You should be fine

Unless Sky Mobile aren't allowed by O2 to use any of them, unlikely though. I know EE used to do that to some MVNOs.

Agreed I have never had such terrible service! No wonder they can provide large data contracts, there is no way you could ever use it!

O2 does have some of the worst reviews for signal, they are short of capacity mainly, too many subscribers for the bandwidth they have

I have an iPhone 16 pro max, reported the issue is the total blackout in the area again and yet again they say no issues at all! Not willing to help at all

I'm in Newcastle and after many years with EE we moved across to Sky mobile about 3 months ago and I am regretting it now. The signal is dreadful and my phone is constantly cutting out, I am getting 3G signal which I thought had been turned off and i am going to buy an EE SIM card just to get my signal and speeds back. Once this contract is up, I'm off back to EE unless Sky/O2 sort their signals out.

Hi how do you do this?

Funnyly enough I moved from EE to Sky due to a virtual non existent EE mobile signal. 

Any relevant information showing on this link?

Look at a 1p mobile sim. Same coverage and speed as EE for less.

The signal round me is also almost non-existant. 

Didn't even get the emergency alert test.

SKY claimed this was the government's fault - can't follow their logic - not sure why they would have excluded me.

Looking to ditch SKY and find another provider but how do you choose? You can't trust their coverage maps which, in Sky/O2's case, are used to bolster their commercial fantasy or to market false hope to their unfortunate customers and simply can't be trusted.

Sky/O2 don't but does any network provider actually check their coverage in the real world or do they all just colour in map outlines with big crayons where keeping the colour inside the lines is the only criteria they judge themselves by?

Ofcom just point you back at the network providers' colouring books without comment or any appraisal of their accuracy. One of these companies must behave with honesty and integrity or at least with more honesty and integity than the others. Which one is it?
