If no one has any better suggestions then send me the hardware and I'll plug it into my car and test.

There is a historical oddity in the UK as T-Mobile (TMO UK) and Orange used to be two separate networks, but are now the same company. Both physical networks work at times, but both also fail at times. This is true in a wide area (I have tried as far south as Perth which is about 100 miles away) so it can't be an issue with the local cell tower. There is no O2 coverage in my area of the country (despite what their coverage map claims).  I think I may need to return the hardware.

What's the coverage map in your area like, Matt?
