EE network coverage via the EE website

This is the main way to check EE network coverage. EE’s tool checks signal strength and flags problems nearby.
  1. Open EE’s mobile coverage checker.
  2. Enter your postcode, then select Check coverage.
  3. Review what EE shows for 4G and 5G in your area.

What the results mean

Coverage can look different indoors and outdoors. Your signal might be great on your street but terrible indoors because of the thickness of the walls. Speeds can also vary by location and demand, even with 5G. 

Via the Ofcom website

If you want a second opinion, Ofcom’s tool helps. It shows coverage on a map, and it separates indoor and outdoor predictions.
  1. Open Ofcom Map Your Mobile.
  2. Enter your postcode, then load the map.
  3. Check Coverage first. Look at indoor and outdoor.
  4. Switch to Performance to see how likely streaming works locally.
Ofcom explains that “variable” and “good” coverage use different thresholds. “Good” is the more confident result for data-heavy use. 

Via EE service status

A coverage map won’t tell you if there’s a fault today. EE’s service status checker can help with that.
  1. Open EE service status. Log in, then run the check for your area.
  2. If EE shows planned work, note the time window. 

Via the EE app

If you already use the EE app, it can be the fastest route for account-level help. EE describes it as the place to manage your services and get help. Open the app and look for support or help options. If you can’t get online, use the service status page on Wi-Fi instead. 

Via phone call

If you’re travelling and need help while abroad, call +44 7953 966 250 from abroad for EE customers 

Quick fixes for a bad signal, even if coverage is good

  • Try Airplane mode for 10 seconds, then switch it off
  • Restart your phone, then wait a minute for the signal to come back
  • Move a few metres. Try a window or step outside, then test again

Conclusion

Use EE’s checker to see EE network coverage, then verify it with Ofcom. If your signal drops today, check EE service status before you worry.
