Just had a text that's available on my phone (S24U on monthly plan). I usually get a weak signal from the bedroom end of my house (Lower Hutt) and no signal/emergency calls only from anywhere in my Mother in law’s house or even street (Waikanae) and my wife has never had signal issues from either with Spark (same phone currently). They are not exactly remote or rural locations so be interesting to see if this makes a difference.
