Good old @vodafoneuk! What a shame that at the same time as doing this, their advertising folk are ailenating people like me with their abuse of Yoda on their billboards. I’m glad they’re doing experiments like this, but I wish they’d stop trampling on our culture.
@LloydDavis I think you’ll find George Lucas already did that when he made Episode 1.
But when are Vodafone going to supply 3g coverage everywhere? Many times when I’m out and about in Northampton for example my phone shows “no signal”. At other times I just get the small circle or an “e”. Mostly I have to wait till I get home to use my wi-fi to do any data intensive tasks on my iphone. But at home I have my computers, which are easier to use!!
@ydnab40 There will always be black spots. Events, buildings and other uses always have an affect on coverage. I have three or four sims on me at any time but chose Vodafone as my main sim a long time ago because i found it the most reliable in an uncertain world.
Is it not expensive running 3 or 4 contracts or are some PAYG?
Not when access to data helps you do your job. I have back up PAYG sims but as the article says, my main everyday sim this year is Sponsored by Vodafone.. http://t.co/LglNkmRM
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I’m usually at shop buying a new SIM card before the ink of my most recent passport stamp has dried.
I’m surprised that TFL/mobile networks haven’t started putting boosters on the tube trains especially heading towards City and Canary Wharf etc.
In Bedford you lose signal in the Harpur Shopping Centre and at Sainsbury’s over near Clapham – once you get past the first till/vegetable bits the signal tanks.
still not managed to acquire a US sim for my mifi when I’ve gone over. Vodafone happily took 250£ off me for the very brief moments when I slipped my data back on over a long weekend in Chicago. I know I know I shouldn’t have done it but free wifi is not available every where I need it ;(
