jjnz1: Vodafone, Telecom.... When choosing a telco, you dont choose one on its merits, you choose one because its the lesser of two evils.
Fe3o4: Yet again we lose all coverage on the vodafone network around the Wauiku area - "sorry we have had a power outage since lunchtime" s'funny as all the lights are on and its business as usual. We have 4 phones at our place and for less than $400 we are moving to the dark side. I thought things might have improved over the years so I have held on but not any more - and despite the numerous promises of increased coverage - Nah - Voda don't give a rotents bottom.
Fe3o4: John,
Thanks for the update on the outage. I am about 5km due east of the steelmill near the main road. Accordng to the coverage tool I should be 3/4 bars on G2.5 - I wish!
jjnz1: Fe2o4, yer sometimes I too have problems when I use a cup and string phone... I get no bars!! Crappy telco!
Fe3o4: John,
Regarding the issue of handset performance, I have had a wide selection of mobiles, from Nokia 6310, Jasjar, Nokia E51 and currently I phone G3 and there was no significant difference in performance. I can appreciate that Vodafone do not test indoors, but I have to go outside to recieve calls now and then they usually drop out. I think we may be in a signal "grey hole"
Fe3o4: John,
Where are the cell sites? the house is brick, wood and decramastic tile, we are located on flat ground with rolling contour all around.
According to the coverage map I can only get 2G coverage anyway.
Is the Iphone 3GS a WCDMA 900mHz device? you would have to pry my Iphone from my cold dead hands - it does everything else and works fine outside the "grey hole"!!
daparrot: The words Vodafone and Coverage are very rarley used unless you also use the word rubbish.
Thier 3G implementation is a great disappointment.
