Mobile telephone users could soon be able to talk to their friends even when they enter a signal blackspot, if proposed new legislation goes ahead.
Culture Secretary Sajid Javid wants to change the law to force networks to allow customers to switch providers when their phones cannot find a signal.
It has been estimated that a fifth of Britain suffers from an unreliable mobile phone signal.
The Government is expected to start a consultation process on the reforms this week.
It follows the failure of the 'big four' phone operators - Vodafone, O2, EE and Three - to reach an agreement on improving reception in areas where it is poor.
In most of the areas, at least one or two of the networks have sufficient coverage for people to receive a signal.
Mr Javid is understood to believe that the companies should be forced to allow 'roaming' between networks to ensure that everyone can receive a signal regardless of which operator they are with.
Currently, customers who have contracts with one network cannot make calls, send text messages or transfer data using another network.
Yet, whenever a customer travels abroad, they are able to use any network their operator has an agreement with.
A Whitehall source told The Daily Telegraph: "We want to eradicate this situation of partial not-spots.
"There is expected to be a consultation in the coming days and this could include a legislative option. If these companies do not change, we might force them to change."
