That's a right laugh. I tried it for my postcode and the website
states:

"Excellent 3G coverage
Your phone will work well outdoors and in most houses and commercial
buildings."

What this actually translates as is "non-existant 3G coverage.
Messages, voice calls and voicemails will be delivered randomly or
possibly not at all or could be delayed by up to 24 hours". Three SMSs
and a call from a mate still haven't arrived despite them having been
made 4.5 hours ago. The only real solution is to stick your sim in a
2G phone. Things seem to work fine then (although no SMS).
