EE SIM for the West of Scotland

[dunedin]

My experience is similar to Cardinal- no signal Loch Drumbuie, Loch Moidart, Gometra Harbour etc.
We choose to carry three devices on three separate networks but still marginal in places.
During two week cruise of Inner Hebrides had more nights of lost signal than two seasons in Norway and Sweden

I wanted to shed some light on this as we've been working with EE Business SIM Only for years. There is only one form of EE 4G SIM card - there are no specific cards that run on a different frequency. You'll want a device that supports modern 4G/LTE services and an EE 4G SIM Card. That's it.

Thanks. I think the important point (which came to me as "some frequencies") was that it has to be a 4G SIM, not a 3G one.

... does the EE network support 3G or do I have to buy a 4G mifi? I'm quite happy with the system I have, and would prefer to keep it if possible.

4G I'm afraid if you're going to benefit from any spin-off from the emergency services infrastructure. In any case 4G is much better for data (for you faster and lower latency, for the operator more data subscribers per mast).

Thanks. As it turned out we didn't go to any particularly wild places in 2019 and my 3G mifi worked fine - with surprisingly good bandwidth at the Treshnish Islands - but I'll look into a 4G one for this year.
