With over 40 million mobile phone users around the UK, comparable quality of service information is extremely important, said David Edmonds, director general of Telecommunications.
It is very positive news for consumers that over 95% of calls are completed successfully at a national level but if consumers are to get the best from their mobile phone they must be able to make regional comparisons too.
The survey tested BT Cellnet, Vodafone and One2One, to see which regions their networks performed best in. This information could prove invaluable to people looking to buy a mobile. As Mr Edmonds said, The survey published today allows consumers to make direct comparisons on how companies perform on a regional basis.
