Visiting Tenby this summer? Be prepared for breathtaking views but spotty mobile coverage! 📵 This beautiful Welsh town, known for its stunning seafront, has the UK’s worst mobile phone signal. Imagine struggling to call a cab after enjoying the local pubs or taking card payments with that dreaded “no signal” icon flashing. 😩
Local businesses are feeling the pinch too. Taxi driver Steven Roberts says it’s a “dead zone,” affecting bookings and cashless payments. Art shop owner Guy Manning fears losing customers who aren’t keen on carrying cash or waiting around. Can you imagine the frustration?
Tenby’s beaches and history draw thousands yearly, but the lack of connectivity is leaving some tourists like Paul from Cheshire thinking twice about returning. While the views rival anywhere in the UK, it’s tough when you can’t even get a weather forecast!
The issue stems from a decommissioned mast which left O2, Vodafone, and Three users out in the cold. But don’t worry, the networks promise improvements. Meanwhile, EE is already exploring upgrades.
