I would love to hear from the OP, as to exactly why Vodafone sucks, so far we have what seems to be a very poorly thought out post.

informationminister:johnr: I catch a train from middlemore hospital to Britomart every week day morning and its full of teenage kids and I would say %90 have GSM handsets and I would say %50 of the %90 are 3G (WCDMA) handsets!Is that because they keep waving them around trying to get signal. Or every 5 minutes they loose all signal and you get a lot of people saying 'hello, can you hear me? Hello!!?!?'
By the way, it that spinning cell site in Wellington really meant to spin off the building?

sbiddle: Vodafone is losing out big time in the marketplace with no Prepay TXT plan offering TXT's to both networks. You simply can't afford to be on Vodafone Prepay if you know people on Telecom who you TXT frequently. I just fail to understand why Vodafone haven't made TXT600 (or a customised TXT plan) available on PrePay, Vodafone used to be the cool network for young people, now so many have moved to Telecom that their friends all have as well primarily because of the TXT plans.
When was the last time you saw a boy racer car with "offerz 021xxxxxxx" on the back? All you ever see are 027 numbers and since you can't port to Vodafone Prepay you can be assured they are all Telecom connections.
I agree and disagree here. For once, I sort of agree with Econet / NZ Communications. On net deals can be viewed as anti competitive and they in this case encourage existing customers to get their contacts to switch networks, so they can take advantage of the on net deals. How ever, I do believe they have a place, but I think it is constructive for all if they are positioned in the market with an alterative, that does not differentiate when calling off or on net.
So back your post sbiddle, I do think in the prepaid market Voda seems to be making a come back, although the total market share may not be showing this? As to not affording to be with Vodafone, I often hear of people on Vodafone who just refuse to txt Telecom numbers because it's going to cost them 20cents, and it this soft of situation that needs to be discouraged thought alterative offers IMHO (such as TXT600).
Just my two cents

jesseycy: Actually, from what I know...
Asians = Vast majority on Vodafone, with cheap and cool GSM phones from overseas...
Teens = Around 70-75% on Vodafone..... "Cause I don't want that lousy sanyo on Telecom".....
Adults (the business phones) = Telecom.... Business plans, maybe?
Adults (the remainder) = About 60-40, Vodafone-Telecom...
Oldies = ???
Telecom must have a hell of a lot of business connections then, because last time I checked the market was split about 48 (Telecom) / 52 (Vodafone), with a trend over the last few years back towards Telecom.

PS: Bring on Telecom GSM / WCDMA.
