    I have been in ni for a week or so and the level of mobile coverage is woeful. Mainly Antrim north and Derry. Lots of rural areas with no coverage or very low 4g, absolutely no 5g and very poor speeds. Also indoor coverage in urban areas is poor.I experienced this in south Down too earlier this year. I had similar experience last year and nothing has really improved!

    Roaming on Vodafone uk and 3uk separate sims.

    Interesting to hear if others have had similar experiences up here ?

    Exactly the same experience myself about 2 years ago. Vodafone IE roaming on Vodafone UK and my 3 IE work phone roaming on I think 02?? Coverage on both were very poor in areas you'd expect some sort of coverage but both phones were hard set to even send a Whatsapp. I don't know if you'd have a better experience on a Vodafone UK sim or 02 UK but yeah, roaming was poor enough

    Am in the Newry, Forkhill, Meigh, Drumintee area a fair bit. Only get decent reception on O2 (4G). All the other networks are virtually non-existent, bar in Newry itself. If I was living there I wouldn't be pleased with the level of coverage.

    Thats true. Head out of Jonesborough down the Edenappa Road to the border and coverage is very poor. And this would be outdoor coverage as well. Camlough village and surrounds is another bad spot.
