A new mast has been built near my village of Cyffylliog (sample postcode LL15 2DW) and I am wondering if it is a Vodafone or partner mast? Will Vodafone be using this mast to provide outdoor coverage for the area? I already have a Suresignal, which has been great but I really need outdoor coverage for the times I'm on call.
Thanks in advance.

@luckypants I've had a look on our system and can't find anything relating to this new mast in the sample postcode you've provided.
Do you know if this mast is now active or has just been built and is yet to go live?

The mast has been built about 6 weeks ago. Not sure it is live yet, as no one has been running about the village proclaiming a mobile signal has arrived!
I think I may have found the mast on some kind of database via Google https://www.mastdata.com/0/address/address.aspx?AdID=227585 and it looks like it is an EE mast, So I dug some more and have found this mast has been built for the new emergency services network contract EE won in 2015, known as the 'Blue Lights' contract. If that is the case (that it is a Blue Lights mast) EE must allow competitors to install equipment on these government funded masts.... So do you know if Vodafone or a partner will be installing at this mast to provide coverage? If no coverage from Vodafone and full coverage from EE, the solution is pretty straightforward for me....

@luckypants Thanks for letting me know. :smileyhappy:
To answer your question, any future planned upgrades will show on our network coverage checker.
I can't see anything under the postcode you've provided as of yet, but it may be worth checking now and again.
