Got 3G enabled in your phones settings? Maybe you've set it to use 2G only?

Is this a 2D coverage area or Vodafone that 2D customers roam onto Vodafone?

2degrees don't have their own site at lincon so you are probably being impacted by the work happening to the Vodafone site.

We do not have a tower yet at Lincoln Uni site at present and probably getting the signal from Prebbleton.

Can you search for and try locking it to 2degrees signal?

How is this progressing?

I know 2D have been approaching sites around Lincoln trying to get somwhere to put their tower.

When i search it gives me the option of Vodafone NZ or Telecom NZ
