Mobile Phone Coverage Maps Links
I just needed to know whether my 3G USB dongle was going to work when I move house shortly.
It got me thinking about whether the information that the mobile phone network providers supply is more up to date than Ofcom’s. Guess what? It is!
Obviously this information is only for GSM & 3G UMTS networks, but if you find a spot with no coverage, and no other neighbours for miles around, and you don’t live near a main road, etc etc, then you’re likely to be left undisturbed! Of course you could still cop for a Tetra tower, although the one near me shares a GSM mast.
Here are the links, peruse and abuse!

web.orange.co.uk/coverage/index.php
and of course finally, that stalwart of mast hunters everywhere:
