When i read the title i was about to pipe up and say its perfect, then remembered i had a dropped call today! Was driving in the countryside though lol. Usually fine for me.
The rain is crippling phone signal at the moment, we managed to lose Vodafone signal in the centre of Sheffield this week. We're only about 100 yards from the transmitter!!
I had no trouble whatsoever for years, then just over two years ago it started and has got increasingly worse to the point of not having signal for up
to ten hours.
When I contacted O2 to complain and point out that as I have a chronic cardiac condition and therefore consider my mobile a necessity.
They suggested I get a land line. Tossers!
Edited to say; It's even doing it in town now!

My o2 phone is usually fine but my orange phone is terrible for dropping calls and calls going straight to answer phone without even ringing. Seems like it's getting worse too, especially orange to orange calls.
I'm with T-Mobile Orange. When it used to be just T-Mobile I used to get a decent signal at home, with patchy coverage during my commute to
London. When T-Mobile joined up with Orange the connectivity got really good and I got signal in most places... until about 5 or 6 months ago. Now I
can barely hold a signal at home, getting 1 bar if I'm lucky, but mostly no signal at all.
Rumour has it that T-Mobile Orange is now shutting down some of the 'surplus' transmitters they gained in the merger...
I'd change companies, if it wasn't for the fact that I have quite a bit of contract to go...
Am I the only one who classes mobile phone companies in the same category as estate agents and used car salesmen?
No problems for me apart from a single corner of a single room in my house.
02 manages to get a full 3G signal 2 floors underground in my work building 
I've had quite a few calls recently where it rang once then came up as "call failed"

Regular call fails, often my phone never rings and I only know I've been called when the voicemail kicks in
I think it is just crappy phones these days that have so many features, they can't receive the signals! I wouldn't be surprised, the phones
batteries barely last a few days. Back when I had a phone that did phone calls and texts, it would work faultlessly.
I'm on virgin mobile and it always cuts out, I don't think there is anything special about O2 :p
