My supplier says my (electricity only) meter's certification has

them there's no mobile phone coverage where we live?


Just tell them you are exercising your right* to choose not to have a
non-smart meter - preferably also in writing (eg email or web from). If
anyone from your supplier tells you they are mandatory ask them to
confirm their name as you will be making a formal complaint to them and
also reporting the lie to to Ofgem.
