Networks in Norfolk

I'm going to be moving to Norfolk in the not-too-distant future and was wondering if anyone can advise me on networks with the best coverage there. I'm currently on Vodafone but it seems to have large blank areas in East Anglia. Any advice gratefully received.

if you look on the various network websites they should have network coverage maps. Whether they are accurate is another matter entirely. I know 02 definitely has one as I was looking at it the other day.

Thanks folks. Actually I have looked at the coverage maps but don't believe them. I'll persevere with Vodafone until proved wrong.

I'd agree with the general concensus that Vodafone is the best coverage network in Norfolk.

Over the years I have tried T-Mobile/Virgin (still patchy now), o2 which is probably no-2 in the area & Orange.

Voda is still the best bet overall although like all networks there are some iffy areas.

If you could be a little more region specific I could advise more?

Voda should be fine in that area. You're not far from Gt Yarmouth (as the crow flys) so will be picking up from the masts there.

Tell your mates not to head for North Walsham when they come to visit as its about 30 miles from South Walsham!! Thats a trick the locals use to keep the outlaws away!!
