Maybe it's a problem with my local base station then. Very heavy
flooding here, following 110 mm of rain yesterday. Took me the best
part of a day to drive back home from Hampshire. To be fair, the Voda
network served us well during that time (as did BBC local radio) and
outbound voice calls only started failing when I finally got home.
Inbound calls are still working.
