Almost one-third of mobile phone users still encounter problems with calls and texts around their homes with half of that number experiencing daily issues, new data from communications regulator ComReg, writes Pádraig Hoare.

More than 2.800 people were surveyed by ComReg on their mobile services, including urban and rural mobile phone users. While 29% of users had experienced issues at home when taking calls and sending texts, that figure rose to 43% in rural areas, ComReg said.
