Fifi Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 We've not had any reception with Vodafone today and heard rumours of mast problems, possibly due to the weather. Anyone heard anything?(** mod edit - this thread is a merged combination of at least 5 discussions - please post messages regarding mobile phone coverage, signal outages etc in this thread rather than start a new one each time you encounter a problem with your phone - Cheers! **) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjm23 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello There, I am in Tingwall.. And have not been able to get a signal all day. My mobile just says "No Service" and when I tried to contact Vodafone then there helpline stated that it had technical problems aswell so I couldnt get through to anyone. But Im not best pleased...

max Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Still not getting service in Brae, for some odd reason...:/ The Muckle Roe mast seems to be brawly unreliable. This always affects Brae and the surrounding area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njugle Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I was glancing at this thread thinking "Ah well, what a shame, nothing to do with me" until the penny finally dropped and i realised that i have no signal, and this explains why i only got my voicemail from yesterday at 3pm this afternoon while visiting Nesting. Still no signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifi Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Goodness knows how we in deepest darkest Hillswick are back on with Vodafone and others aren't.. I'm not sure whether we get our signal via Collafirth Hill or wot. I know there are others still off in Mossbank too. My Pocketsurfer is still off though. It'll be interesting to see if that springs back to life when the Scalloway mast is fixed. We're so reliant on technology these days!! Can you imagine life without t'internet and mobiles?

MJ Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Can you imagine life without t'internet and mobiles? Try moving tae waa's. miss my 3G up here anyway, but got no phone signal with out walking half way up one of the surrounding hills. Try explaining that to folk south. At least I can still text fae the computer - if only folk would believe me that I can't recieve them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner72 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 We're so reliant on technology these days!! Can you imagine life without t'internet and mobiles? That was life only a few years ago, and being completely honest i really miss it. I'm only now realising how much. Don't get me wrong, i enjoy the internet and appreciate its usefullness. Mobiles can save a lot of time and money in organising things, over and above the safety benefits. However last night while the mobiles were down, and then the lights flickered, i was honestly longing for the power to go too. And genuinely dissapointed when it didnt. Imagine - no streetlights blazing in windows, no TV blaring, no emails/IM's/texts/voicemails/phonecalls etc etc.. Sheer bliss.. However, went off a bit there, back to the topic! Still no joy North i hear, but reception was fine in Scalloway and Brae late (11pm and on) last night (sunday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
