Is anyone else having sh***y reception with vodafone? Or is it just my iPhone 4? I heard vodafone is going through a merger with 3 but my phone has had very little reception if any at all for at least 8 months or so. It cant be taking that long can it?

you would have to look into it but basicly they are not providing the service (ie reception) as described in the contract so they have voided it. Means you should not have to pay a thing to end it, this info is just from what i have heard and in no way is it the rule.

Best thing is to ring them and while being polite but firm (remember the person on the other end of the phone is just doing their job and is not personally accountable for the lack of service) tell them that you have had very little to no service for x amount of time and that you would like the contract ended so you can go to another carrier.

Make sure you get the persons NAME and I.D NUMBER (if they have one) incase it does not work so you can ring back up and say that you spoke to said person on date whatever.

Tell me about it

I have no reception in my freaking room. Imagine that I've got to place my face at the window just to make a call and it isn't guranteed that my call won't disconnect.

I feel i'm getting substantial performance only... very very unhappy especially when my mates on Telstra or Optus have no problems at all.

I'm on Vodafone with a Blackberry.

again google it everyone is the same. On the train one of the guys i work with has no reception between perth and his stop (voda) and im fine (optus). try what i have suggested.

PS will have to get you to take some photo's of the new to me car once it arrives, maybe on the next cruise.

Cheers

I called them...they told me I had to go down to the nearest vodafone shop so I did on my lunch today...an guess what? They told me to call up because they couldn't do anything in the shop! :@ not very happy :/ i know they are just working there but still you think they could at least try and help :/

Yeah - I copped thatr one myself once.

The second time they tried to do it I arced up on the phone, demanded to speak to a supervisor and got 3 months free access. Still, 3 months free access kinda gets cancelled out by 3 months of patchy/no service, slow as fcuk data transfer, constant drop outs and text messages recieved up to 2 DAYS after being sent to me.....

Tell me about it. I'm with 3 and I cant even get 3G in the whole of Hillarys where I live. Then because they give me shitty reception they charge me extra for data when being outside of the 3G zone. I tried to stop it but it turns out its my facebook getting notifications even when I'm not signed in. Anyone know how to get the thing to stop synchronising itself on the internet? Its costing me precious fuel money.

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
