Mobile Signal Score

Phone and data coverage around this property

The Mobile Signal Score rates the mobile phone signal in this property's neighbourhood from 0 to 100. It covers calls, texts and mobile data across the UK's main mobile networks. Higher scores mean stronger signal and faster data. The score is modelled from coverage the network operators report, and it applies UK-wide.

What This Means

A strong score means calls and mobile data should hold up around here, indoors and out. A weak score usually shows first indoors, where thick walls and modern glazing block the signal. Coverage varies within a single home too, so a room upstairs can work where the kitchen does not. The score averages the main networks, and one network can be far stronger than another at the same address. It predicts signal strength overall, not 5G. An address with strong 4G and no 5G can still score highly.

Score Ranges

Poor

0 to 30

Limited coverage. Calls may drop and data is slow.

Fair

31 to 60

Coverage works outdoors for calls and basic data. Indoors it may falter.

Good

61 to 80

Reliable coverage for calls, messaging and 4G data in everyday use.

Excellent

81 to 100

Outstanding signal across the main networks, with fast data and 5G where it has been deployed.

Practical Advice

  • Run this address through Ofcom's mobile coverage checker for each network in turn before you pick a provider.
  • Ask the seller which network they use and whether calls drop indoors.
  • Test your own phone in each room during the second viewing, upstairs and down.
  • Ask your provider to switch on Wi-Fi calling if the signal is weak but the broadband here is good.

Additional Information

This score is modelled for the neighbourhood around the property, not measured at the front door. Vodafone and Three merged their companies in 2025 but still trade as separate brands while their networks combine. Coverage checkers list the two separately, which is why four networks appear where the merger suggests three.
