Hi, a few days ago we recieved an email from Slingshot saying an "Automatic upgrade has been completed" I thought to myself oh great our connection will be improved, and maybe it will be better. WRONG! It has given us nothing but problems.
For a start, I don't think we even got an email explaining what would be changed. it has completely overwritten our previous voicemail setup, that we used for about 7 years and not had the slightest problem with. We got that setup when we were still on Telecom and when we changed over to Slingshot, that service was just carried over and we were happy with it like that.
The New Voicemail prompting menu, is too slow and that really needs to be changed, and access numbers have been changed and It's vert confusing. Also, the Caller ID suprisingly I don't mind the way it is now, although it was simplier to understand the numbers before the change.
The biggest problem is I have have a habbit when somone doesn't answer I phone them back, untill they do. But With Slingshot, I have to push the end, and talk button more than once because when I do it first go quite often the call hasn't disconnected or if it is an engaged tone and I push end, then talk again then I still get the engaged tone.
I have to keep phone on end for a few seconds before I can push talk again, a total annoyance. Internet on the otherhand has been fantastic, and I love my speeds. It's just the telephone changes that I'm grumbling about. Possible to get original configuration back, as I really hate the changes.
Thanks
