Hi Dayler, thanks for your response! I feel like I should elaborate further on the problem. Where i live I have quite good reception. Between 3 or 4 bar out of 4. However when I go to my girlfriend's house which is about half an hour from cork city towards macroom my phone has the status "emergency calls only" none of her family have the issue and are all on Vodafone. I m wondering could I do anything to remedy the issue. Thanks again!
