According to The Sunday Telegraph , Culture Secretary Sajid Javid is considering new legislation that would force UK network providers to allow customers from rivals to use their network in areas with no coverage.
The proposal comes in a bid to help around a million people, spread across a fifth of the country, overcome black spots, where lack of signal leaves them unable to make and receive calls and texts.
If approved, it would mean mobile users could roam similarly to international visitors - while in an area where you have no signal, you would be automatically connected to another network which does have coverage.
The UK's main operators Vodafone , O2, EE and Three apparently failed to meet a voluntary agreement with ministers on bringing patchy reception areas up to scratch.
Meanwhile, a £150 million fund to provide hundreds of new mobile phone masts has been promised by ministers to improve coverage in rural areas.
