Probably around £3-4About £2 then.
This should serve as a wake-up call to the mobile industry. This is quite timely for me as I work in the industry and have recently made myself quite unpopular bemoaning the lack of testing that goes into mobile services, our reliance on them and the ability to trace faults. There has been a lot of noise today about people not being able to watch their cat videos on youtube and update facebook but the network is used for a lot more than that and is being relied on for all sorts of stuff that is coming our way like smart cities, autonomous driving etc etc. We will become increasingly reliant on these networks and I see a lot from the inside that concerns me. Funnily enough I am looking at a root cause analysis tomorrow on an outage much bigger than this in Asia that has caused huge financial penalties for the vendors.
It appears that the problem was an out of date certificate.
i have (private number) but what good is that if half of my clients and men use the offending networks
My phone is now in the business of not been seen on the network i thought this was either phone or sim related.....i just got my wife a cheapy also on vodafone and guess what it does the same. . This happens despite us having 3 bars of signal.You would think it would make sense for them advertise when they are increasing the signal in an area.
I had an issue with Vodafone, we lost signal for a few weeks but because it's a rural area it wasn't a high priority. The crazy thing as @mr_splatter has highlighted they didn't have a clue what had changed. They were even adjusting aerial vanes remotely. I questioned why they would do that if they didn't actually know why we went from signal to no signal overnight.
My wife and I used to do a test years a go where we would ring the house phone from the mobiles. She was on O2 and I was on Vodafone. If we both pressed send at the same time without fail it was my phone that rang the house.
It's an interesting test if you have multiple networks available.
What phone?Easy. Setup rediect. No1 number is out of coverage, transfers to No2 on different network.
I have a dual sim phone setup like this now
Yeah they dont seem to do dual sim note 9....I have a cheap & cheerful "Fonerange" dumb phone on Virgin. It connects to T-Mobile or another I can't recall, depending which is the stronger signal.
I have had sure signal for probably 10 years now. On my 6th box but its stopped working....they were supposed to be sending a new one but seemed to loose interest when i did not get a new phone at end of contract.@ukracer one of the things I've seen previously is having no signal but if I try and make a call a signal suddenly appears. I did wonder if it me holding it action like an aerial but I could get the same result on the table.
We have a Suresignal box now which gives a 5 bar signal in the house via the broadband
A mate of mine is in comms. More networking but he reckons the bars dont mean a lot plus he reckons the signal gets stronger (in effect) once you start using the phone.@ukracer one of the things I've seen previously is having no signal but if I try and make a call a signal suddenly appears.

I have 5 bars just now but if you were to phone me you would likely get 50% missed calls that dont even ring my phone.....but the text vodafone send me to let me know i missed a call, come instantly.
It really bugs me that you can go almost any country in the developed world and your mobile will use whatever signal it can find. There is no reason why we couldn't have network sharing in this country other than it would mean the phone companies would have to charge less because signal strength wouldn't be factor
