A report on the compliance of the UK mobile networks to meet their SRN obligations shows that Three missed the end of June 2024 target, whilst the other networks increased coverage in line with Ofcom requirements.

Availability of 5G and capacity should have improved for EE mobile customers in Croydon recently as the the first 5G mini masts from the telecoms firm have gone live in the borough.

Access to and knowing how to use digital devices is something many assume young people are born with today but access to devices can be limited and this can leave people less confident in their use.

EE has launched a new service for its Pay Monthly mobile customers starting at £1/month for a service that will monitor calls and alert to suspected scammers.

Vodafone and Virgin Media O2 have signed an agreement that extends the existing mast-sharing deal for another decade.

As part of the Shared Rural Network (SRN) Virgin Media O2 has announced the completion of the first stage of the project with a mobile mast at Glencoe. At an altitude of 1,108 metres this is the highest mobile mast in the UK.

Mobile network operator Three has announced improvements to its roaming offer with a "Go Roam Around the World Extra" (long name!) package. Launching tomorrow, the service will allow its customers to make calls, send and receive text messages and use inclusive data in over 160 countries, up from the 71 countries for the existing non-extra package.

Saving 2 kWh per site might not sound impressive on its own, but with the number of mobile sites operated by EE this amounts to a saving of 4.5 million kWh in total.

Three is benefiting from work done in partnership with Ericsson in terms of reducing the power requirements for its network by a combination of AI, machine learning and other improvements like new hardware with lower power requirements.

Ahead of the new Government that will form on July 5th the Mobile UK trade body that collectively represents the mobile networks has published a report that outlines what it feels would help boost mobile coverage and make Government ambitions easier to reach.
