Hi Avinash,
Great post, checkout our post on how to measure your signal strength:

and our post on how to boost your signal:

Ideal if the coverage map says you have good signal, but you still can’t get a strong signal.
I have been having trouble with Orange network coverage for months now in Falmouth,Cornwall some times no coverage at all.I have cheked on the table above for orange on my postal code it says excellent coverage this in the least is missleading.
Just a quick couple of corrections – rather than PinCode, it’s called a Postcode here in the UK.
Also, the O2 coverage checker has moved – it’s now at http://www.o2.co.uk/coveragechecker
Otherwise, a very useful post – thanks!
