JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Just now, Ken's Deputy said: 3's become my favourite, by a ridiculously long shot. Been with them for years and years now. Simply never really had a problem with them. Broadband I'm talking now. Voda's BB was absolute fukking Shit! Off line as much as on! Granted, their phone service has never given me a problem. But, the moment I want to do anything but make a call? Like I'm now trying? They've become an absolute fukking nightmare! Was thinking of switching my broadband to em might rethink now, though I presumed it was all managed by BT ultimately anyhow? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Voda have the worse rate for transfers because of how they do it and are also have the highest complaints with ofcom. Openreach own the line and voda rent the line off them the same as the other companies. BT has nothing to do with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Works fine but she does have an older model she bought outright from an Apple store in Malaysia and the problem is, when you turn it on (regardless of provider) it says "no service". Also one of her friends took a look at it with one of those weird simm cards in and it said the phone was blacklisted.... any ideas anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blacklisted means the contract wasn't paid or the phone was claimed for on insurance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This dongle thing I don't get. I can sit on the beach with my laptop using my mobile hotspot from my phone. I'm with Digi here, I get unlimited calls, 500MB wifi and 64gb of data every month (with rolls over, at the moment I have about 200Gb available) all for £40 a month.
