I think you only get a phone signal when you are

Confirmed: I remember sitting smack over the centre of Huntingdon at
3000ft on a really nice, calm weekday. I was circling by myself in a weak
thermal, so I Hauled out a phone to let a friend hear the vario at work
but got no signal. At all.

Most of England is so flat that there's no need for more than horizontal
RF coverage at or below the top of the cell antenna.
