Thats a positive point Susie!! We have Orange and mostly good reception everywhere outside, but our house has v thick walls so patchy actually in the house.

I'm on vodaphone and have no problems, either at home on the east side of Charlbury or in the centre of town. Had to change from Orange when I moved, since I could only get a signal at the end of the garden!

We all use Three and don't normally have problems

Vodafone good from my point of view. Orange not so good, my son can only get a reception hanging out of his bedroom window!

The OFCOM website is quite useful for identifying masts:

There appear to be two on the fire station - Vodafone and O2, while the one up the hill is Orange. Might be out of date, though.

I think it depends which mast your phone company uses. One is on the fire station, the other at the top of Woodstock Hill on or near the Christmas Tree farm. So I guess that if you are unhappy with your present signal, you might be better off with a signal from other mast. If you can tell who uses which! I haven't bothered to see whether the different companies give the locations of their masts, but I'd be surprised if the information isn't out there...

EE pretty variable in the part of Sheep Street where we are; Vodafone better.

I am also EE and have a fantastic signal.

I'd say the opposite - my EE phone has a better signal than the O2 one! I certainly wouldn't switch from EE to O2. Both are payg and the O2 one loses its signal several times a day. Bear in mind part of the problem with signal reception is also due to phone type and the hardware inside the phone.

EE is pretty poor in Town particularly to the east of Town. there is a transmitter on Woodstock Rd and we suffer with the umberella effect,ie the signal skips over us. I believe Vodaphone is good, I also have a p. a .y. g with O2 this works fine also. At the end of my contract I will move to O2.
