Have been in GA for the past week and many times have not been able to make or receive calls or any data on the Vodafone network. Usually have a good 4g connection and sometimes 5g in the Carabassi area . Does anyone have an explanation for this??

Hi sunrise, we are with EE and live just up from the school. Yes we have occasional problems with signals and have to move about the house to get reception. We find the best place is upstairs in the bedroom or on the solarium. We too have no problem with signal on the Carabassi strip. Just grin & bare it I'm afraid.

You don't really need to grin and bare anything these days, just change to a different network supplier!

Yes I live in upper GA and the new 5G towers have already gone up. No issues with my signal. Be warned however, I learned that 5G is not conducive to good health so please consider getting some EMF protectors  I wear a pendant and have EMF protectors in all my devices. Amazon has a good range. From what I am reading, 5G when fully turned on can induce symptoms similar to covid and affect sleep patterns. A few quid on protectors is, to me, worth the cost.
