Almost no telephone reception

Two iPhone 16e at home and almost no reception, two bars if I am lucky. Notification of missed call often arrives hours later. Have tried all suggestions for altering settings. Postcode LE7, this has been going on for some time, months. I can only assume it is a network problem, three.

    HOWARDS_2154000​ Have you looked at the Smarty Coverage checker and also the Network Status checker?

    I can see that the former does show some 'dead spots' in the general area, but you will need to enter a specific postcode for a proper check.

    Even then, occasionally building features can prevent a good signal in an area. Are you getting a signal when you are out and about away from the area?
