Default mobile phone reception - is it a human right ?

i am 3 to talk - thanks EE ( poetry complaint to 3 network) 13.05.16





i am a miser

they call me ebeneezer

with age comes not wiser

but i am now a 3 geezer.

for way to long i tolerated

the service was not satisfactory

my frustration is not exaggerated

3 will not find this complementary.

is it the location

everyone is quick to ask

its standing erected for penetration

but i have no faith in "swains" phone mask.

travel round and its no glory

i may have a phone but no receiver

north, south,east or west and its one story

someone call me even a dodgy breather.

over is my pay and go chip

3 network my feedback i email deliver

if i ring i no the connection would skip

that's why now on EE talking gives me no shiver.

It's not a "human right" but I do think it should be mandatory for phone companies to let people out of their contract if they can prove that the reception in the area they live / work is unusable. I was stuck in a 2-year Vodafone contract and there's no signal at all in this area, it was useless. The contract actually wouldn't be finished until next October, but I bought it out for £250 in January (saving £100 as I had 10 months left at £35 a month). So now I own the phone outright and pay £10 pay-as-you-go every 3 or 4 months (I'm always on wireless either at home or at work, hardly use any credit).

But yeah... Their response when I got the phone and told them that the nearest place to my home that I was getting signal was almost 12 miles away, their response was basically "tough **** lol".

... Just to add, my pay as you go is with 3 (1p per mb data, 2p a text, 3p a minute calls) and the signal is actually not bad at all. Depends where you are really. They should all have more detailed (and HONEST!) coverage maps to check before you sign up for anything.
