Twerto Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Vodafone was fine for me yesterday out west and still working today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeAyBee Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 As far as I'm aware, the only affected area was Scalloway. The previous outage was only temporarily fixed and was awaiting a replacement part. Now I'm guessing here but as the job I logged with Vodafone Network is now closed, I suppose they've effected the permanent repair which will have caused a temporary outage. They were supposed to inform me of the repair after the problems we had a short while ago, but they didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twerto Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I wonder if you can sue vodaphone, because the missus gives you an ear full for not replying to one of her texts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I guess no-ones aware of the atomic testing they're doing up at the back of Njugleswater, no? It's the EMP pulse that's knocking out electronic communications .... [edit]'cos I canna spell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinner72 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I wonder if you can sue vodaphone, because the missus gives you an ear full for not replying to one of her texts? Sue?? I'd consider paying not to recieve them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 My vodafone 18 month contract is coming to an end and I'm thinking about switching to 3 because some of the deals look pretty good. Question is though, what's the signal like in Shetland? I realise I can't get 3G or anything fancy like that, but for simply calls and text messages does it work well? I'm only in Shetland a couple of times a year at the moment but would quite like service to continue while I'm up there.

Pooks Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I believe that there is another thread kicking about with a similar question if you want to have a look. As far as I am aware, 3 use the O2 network for most of their stuff up here (I might be wrong on that). O2 coverage is very good now and there are few areas that you don't get a signal.

MJ Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Signal coverage isn't bad, customer service is dreadful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudden Stop Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I just switched to three recently - getting mixed results so far. In places where I do get a signal it seems to drop out frequently for no apparent reason and then reappear all by it's self. I'm more used to vodaphone - either there was or there wasn't a signal. The saleman told me that currently they use orange and either O2 or T-mobile transmitters but that in late summer they were expanding to use the one that the they aren't currently using. If that makes any sense? I can't remember which way it works, they either already use O2 and are going to be using T-mobile as well or it's the other way around. But they definately use orange.... i think.... So hopefully the coverage will be almost total soon. Brae seems to be a noticeable hole at the moment - not impressed by that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunky68 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 3 have recently changed from using O2 network to using the Orange Network. This has caused a few problems in Orkney as the Orange signal is rubbish here. The Orange signal is better in Shetland though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
