Thanks for filling in that template @rob76
I've taken a look at the postcode you provided and the coverage is good for 3G and 4G. You're able to check any maintenance in your postcode at any time by entering it into our Network Status Checker. I've also taken a look at the specific mast you connect to (No. 4797) and there is no downtime on the mast and no ongoing issues or maintenance works.
I'd like to go through some device troubleshooting with you. As you have an iPhone, please go to Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Network and pop over a screenshot of all of the APNs you can see.
