elsewhere, mesh networking to neighbouring meters with better mobile
signal is an option.
Zone 15 but I suspect topography plays a big part as well.
There is another village in a valley nearby with zero signal. Phones

On the assumption that the user has an internet connection, you can use
Vodaphone's SureSignal if you're on Vodaphone or the equivalent from
another network provider. That how I use my phone here - and we're only 24
miles from Charing Cross!
