As I promised I wouldn't use any more bad language today, so figured the OP was better served by others. As a family this summer were are no longer giving the lying, stealing con-merchants any money and are strictly a o2/orange household. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shetlandcars Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 The advantage of vodafone is if youre in a non signal area but have broadband, ie perhaps where youre living when you get here, you can get a sure signal box for about £50 that uses your broadband for a 3g signal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better networks don't disable UMA or charge you for using it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandcars Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Why pay £50? Better networks don't disable UMA or charge you for using it! because when you are out of range of a suitable wifi router for UMA you are then reliant on the normal transmitter coverage, leaving you looking for an orange or t mobile signal Not to mention having to have a wifi phone and have that option switched on all the time, draining the battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daegerty Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Paying 50 quid to be allowed run a base station for them, they should be paying you for it. Shower of scammers Vodafone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
