Mobile Networks

Horses for courses - it’s exactly the opposite for me. Dual SIM iPhone - my work (EE) line frequently drops out when I’m indoors at home - I frequently get missed call notifications where it hasn’t even rung on my phone, and the download speeds are atrocious. No such problems on my personal (Vodafone) line.

Do you not have Wi-Fi Calling switched on?

It doesn’t work - presumably because it’s not enabled on my work business account.

Has anyone managed to get Vodafone 5G SA to work yet?

Being 900mhz I wonder what the top speed could theoretically be. Quick browse online says 250meg which is pretty decent and far sufficient for mobile use.

Anyone requested a PAC from Three lately? do they tend to call you after you send the text?

They will call you and offer you in their opinion - The very best deal

The £5 for 20gb is on O2. The standard package is 10gb but it’s doubled to 20gb through Volt.

Ooo it’s official. I wonder why they didn’t communicate it to customers ahead of time.

Doesn’t it mention in case of traffic management opposed to 100% of the time? I can’t remember the wording.

I remember the days when Three used to throttle but strangely the speed tests were all great, but try and use the BA app to check in for a flight, impossible. Social media apps were also fine. :thinking:

EE were caught throttling despite denying it, and then suddenly it was ok again.

Well with Sky (via O2) breaking the mast round us meaning I get no service, managed to use that to jump contract early, and go back to EE.

I honestly don’t know why I did that to myself. O2 are so crap these days if you live out in t’sticks.

£10 a month for 20GB which I don’t think is all that bad, plus at least people will be able to ring me now.

I’m contemplating switching my Sky SIM elsewhere too. They don’t support Wi-Fi Calling on the razr (at first I thought it was EE doing their firmware shenanigans like they do with EE branded firmware on Samsung phones and disabling Wi-Fi Calling for other networks) and my area is a signal blackhole so I never get calls/texts/they can’t hear me without VoWi-Fi.

I should’ve done it sooner. Honestly it’s so poor.

When I rang up to cancel (the airtime as the handset still needs paying off) the agent was like “we’ll send you a text with a PAC code” and I was like “great but since I’ve not been able to receive texts for three weeks” I won’t get it” they didn’t take long to convince cancelling was probably best

BT mobile used to be my go to, EE sim at half the price but as they aren’t taking on new customers bit out of luck. Only thing I miss having is visual voicemail, Living in the sticks EE is one of the only networks to provide a stable connection but have recently tried VOXI (Vodafone) and they’ve been decent.
Best thing I did was get a 99p sim and just test each networks signal

I wonder why Virgin Mobile is still accepting new orders considering they’re moving all customers over to O2 within the next 5 months. Surely it’s just unnecessary faff for themselves and customers when they could just redirect new customers to the O2 website instead?

But if you sign up to VM now, when you move, you’ll get double data or unlimited data :wink:
