Re: [LUG] OT phone coverage

[Ben Whorwood <ml-devcornlinuxgrp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Last time I checked GiffGaff use O2 and I assume that the coverage would 
be the same (you can't do things like WiFi calling from GiffGaff, only 
O2). WiFi calling might be an option if you would get OK signal in the 
local area but not at home (EE offer this on some handsets, O2 I think 
just needs an app to be installed, not sure on BT (assume you won't want 
BT) and others).

When I was in a similar predicament I ordered some SIM cards from 
GiffGaff and the like to test out the coverage. Didn't register them or 
put on any credit (as wanted by the supplier) but my Nexus 5 did show 
you the signal strength. Unfortunately it was only EE at the time which 
was acceptable.
