Greg Clark MP recently introduced his Right to Roam (Mobile Phone) Bill in Parliament. The bill would encourage mobile phone companies to allow roaming between UK networks, in the same way that phone signals are seamlessly transferred on the European continent. While phones would preferentially connect to their home network, when the user went out of range the signal would automatically be transferred to one of the other UK networks in range. It would provide much better service for customers, and mean fewer dropped calls on train journeys and the like - it’s an excellent idea
