Cinnamon Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 It seems that no one in my immediate area can get a Vodaphone signal today....my 3G is patchy too,which is a real pain. Anyone else having Vodaphone problems today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Mine was intermittent from about 9pm last night and isn't great this morning at all. Very off and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ah, that would explain why I have had no signal since 7am. OH is at the airport and a girl on his crew had no signal either. Just had a text through that was sent at 5am. 7 hours........! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillM Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 My signal is never very good....I wouldn't have noticed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 My signal is never very good....I wouldn't have noticed! Ours used to be awful except for 1 windowsill, we got one of those booster things that they sell which is great but only for 3G phones - which I didn't realise until I bought it - guess what my phone wasn't - have 3G now and signal is great.

Christian Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I called Vodaphone a few weeks ago about my signal and they offered me that box. Once paid for, are there are other charges CM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovemarmite Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I called Vodaphone a few weeks ago about my signal and they offered me that box. Once paid for, are there are other charges CM? i would be intrestested to know about this as all phone signals where i live are terrible. vodafone is the best, but even that means i can just about send text messages at home if i am in the right place in the house.

JillM Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yes, and the right place in my house is apparently the toilet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I called Vodaphone a few weeks ago about my signal and they offered me that box. Once paid for, are there are other charges CM? Sorry for the late reply. No there are no further charges once you buy it. I think we got ours a bit cheaper than the quoted price somehow can't remember how. It is the only way that I can get consistent signal in our house without hanging out of a window - 3G phones only though. Check out the spec in terms of where you fit it (a modem is involved I think - spot the person who didn't fit it ). I would highly recommend it though. Never used a mobile for voice in our house but can now, my phone has all bars instead of the dreaded red SOS. - It's called Vodafone Sure Signal. Edited to say: I think they confuse things a little by saying that you can pay for it outright or there is some garbled way of paying over a period of time which makes people think that there is some sort of ongoing charge.

Valkyrie Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Got stuck here too. DD is on Vodaphone too. I usually get a reasonable signal, hers is normally poor. The day it went down I couldn't get anything and she had the best signal ever!!! How odd!!!! She came back from work rather smug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks CM. They have offered it to me for £50 or £5 a month for a year. When I called, she told me about it and I said I wasn't prepared to pay £50 for a box to guarantee a signal - that is what I pay line rental for! She asked how much I would be prepared to pay?? The short answer? NOTHING! They are trying to sort out my area and if it doesn't work out, then I either leave as they cannot fulfil their contract, or I get the box free. Really don't like Vodaphone and wish I hadn't left O2. Only have to wait until June 2012 for an upgrade.......will be changing back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grracee Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Vodaphone signal was down in our area a couple of weeks ago. One of my friends rang up about it and she was told that the engineers are aware of the problem and it could take days...it could take weeks before the problem is fixed. So don't know what was going on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
