About 3-4 weeks ago the mobile phone signal has dropped to 0-1 bars everywhere I go: work, home, out, in etc. I haven’t had more than two bars of signal since then. I have looked at all the coverage and to see if there are any known issues but keep getting taken round in a useless circle on the website that asks if I am in aeroplane mode… my brother also had this issue and has swapped providers. Issue fixed, he now has full bars. Frustrating.

Sorry to hear of this issue @SophieRobins, and a very warm welcome to our Community Forums!

Can you please advise me if you've possibly been able to try your SIM card in a different device to rule out any handset issues that may be causing a fault?

Is this happening in multiple locations, or just whilst you're at home?

Kindest regards,

David_Bn

Hi, 

Yes, I have tried it in another phone and it is exactly the same. 
Also the same wherever I go, multiple locations. 

thank you,

Can you tell me when you were last issued with a new sim card? 

Kindest regards,

Hi Sophie,

You will require a new Sim as we have had network changes since you last received one, I will send you an invite into a private chat, once received please click on the purple envelope to accept.

I am having this same problem. I thought you might have changed the towers you use since you partnered with O2. Can you send me an updated SIM card as well please
