I am on hold waiting for tech support at the moment so I thought I might ask here as well. I am currently in Burnside and have lost data/3g connectivity. It happens so rarely that I have to wonder if it's my phone, my account, or a more general outage. Anyone else experiencing this?

Cheers,
D.

Hiya,

Myself and two colleagues here in the CBD (Barbadoes Street area) are experiencing complete loss of 3G coverage on our Vodafone connections (all post paid iPhone 4s).

Tried to call but am at work and with 5-10 minute wait times I wasn't going to try my luck.

Can you please post a reply when you hear from them?

Got an answer after 17 mins of waiting - there is indeed an issue but they're putting a workaround in place. Should be up again momentarily... however long that is...

Thankfully I'm back in WiFi range for now.
