Dover-Calais, even inside the restaurant, there's always some coverage
by UK or French networks on the passenger decks. Outside on top, it's
usually though not always possible to select one's UK network from
just outside Calais

You can pick up the French networks when walking along the cliffs near
Dover.

Of course, but I didn't mention it because as this is mainly British
readers we'd be less interested in doing so

Well, when I've been walking down that way with fellow Brits and
indeed others they've certainly been amused by it - it's a great
demonstration of just how close we are on this island to the
continental mainland, yet how this little bit of water has and indeed
still does mean so much. Well, that and the fact you can easily see
ruddy great chunks of the French coast across the channel no problem!


I was once surprised to get 14 networks shown on a search from the top
of the ferry, on an old phone with 1800 MHz only. It wouldn't actually
log in to the Dutch ones though.

I shall try and remember to do that next time. ISTR that the network
of the country you're coming from hangs onto you for much of the sea
crossing (putting aside manual selection).
