Describing an incident around Inverness
Coverage may involve substantial distance and limited signal. Share coordinates, road landmark, weather, load and enough fault detail for one well-equipped visit.
Start with the exact incident location rather than the provider's office address. Mobile coverage regularly crosses town and county boundaries, while workshop suitability depends on vehicle access, equipment and capacity. On motorways give the carriageway direction, the junctions either side and the nearest marker post; on sites give the HGV gate and a site contact.
