Phone signal gone in outskirts of Tadcaster, unfortunately (8)
I believe the answer is:
ringtone
'phone signal' is the definition.
'gone in outskirts of tadcaster unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'outskirts of' means to remove the middle letters.
'unfortunately' is an anagram indicator (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'tadcaster' with its middle removed is 'tr'.
'gone'+'in'+'tr'='goneintr'
'goneintr' is an anagram of 'RINGTONE'.
(Other definitions for ringtone that I've seen before include "announcement of caller" , "Nitrogen (anag.)" , "Sound of a phone on an incoming call" , "Sound heard when someone telephones" , "Sound coming from mobile" .)
