throughout the past week its sucked that no one from 2degrees has kept anyone on this site in the loop with whats happening and eta's. i did a number port at 9am thursday and havent heard a thing on either mobile (021/022) and no texts. meh.
And full of errors (probably due to overload). I changed my password but the screen doesn't move on... but the password has changed! And when trying to port my number the current provider selection isn't accepted even though it's defaulted to Vodafone. And weirdly it defaulted my number, first and last names as just part of my new 2degrees number?!?
When its working its actually fail anyway, tried to put in my details - enter in my birthday xx/xx/xx and then hit continue, nothing happens for a a while except you see the system changes my birthday to xx/xx/xxxx and then when give up waiting and hit continue again you get the error - your birthday needs to be in xx/xx/xx format - grrrrrrrrrrrr - what a way to stuff up a positive launch - web based apps is business 101 these days - how about some utility/cloud computing to deal with load or is this just to much thinking .. FAIL
And seriously, this whole idea of submitting the form via AJAX, just to reload the page after is pointless and makes it harder to recover from connectivity errors, because you can't just refresh and have the browser re-submit the details.
Did anyone tell the 2degrees developers that AJAX is meant to be used when you want to AVOID page reloads? Not as a precursor to page reloads?
(Holy crap, there's no less than FOURTY-TWO javascript files included into the your 2degrees pages!)
I hope 2degrees do read these posts. I cannot seem to port my number because the following message always comes up...
"Carrier Id not existed for the selected Existing Service Provider" - which is a client side (javascript) error so it's not even going back to the server to determine the carrier Id not existed!
