Is anyone else having trouble with Three phones???
COVERAGE!
SOFTWARE!
MAITENANCE!
EVERYTHING IS GENERAL??
Its not that i'm complaing. lol. Its just that im sure that i cant be the only person in the world who is experiencing trouble with it. Im from Australia, and i know that my mates, and people i know, have had trouble with either some or all of the above.
I'm just curious to know if anyone else is having trouble with it anywhere else? People in England, how about you???
Have a nice day peoples. and remember 2 important things.

I am in England and i find the best thing to do is to not use Three 
The best 3g operater here is Vodafone. IMHO.
Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

Roona, i notice that your from Sydney.
I'm from Perth, and i have family over in the bue mountains. I was recently over there to visit them, and was carrying my 3 phone. I was talking to several of you Sydnians, and it seems that while your coverage was ok, your software was still crap?
I just want to know what's going on with 3. get their act together i reckons.
Btw, Sydney is a lovely spot. just the train rides without a concession cards is a kick in the nuts.

I would seriously look around before you go around signing up to 3. they are seriously overrated, and even though video talk is still huge, and widely popular, (because everyone has 3 fones now), the novelty of it wears off really quickly.
The lg's are a good fone. The fone itself, lasts a decent while, depending on how much u twist the camera. My camera spring died within the first 5 months of me having the fone and i wasn't very impressed with it. You can take it to Hay St. to get it fixed, but apparently it isn't covered under the warranty, or some bullshit like that.
There's an old saying. "Better the Devil you know, than the Devil you dont." THat works extremely well with phone companys. Stay with Vodafone, or Telstra, or Optus, or whichever mainstream carrier your with. They maybe ripping you off. But at least they're familiar.
On a lighter note. Where abouts are you situated? what type of phone do you carry? I work in a phone shop, so the stuff that im talking about, especially with Three, i have a reasonable idea about.
woot out. |

nice phone...had no problems with '3' at all....
BUT EACH TO THERE OWN!!!!
i do know ppl that have had nothing but problems with '3', i personally hate t-mobile...nothing against o2 or orange...and vodaphone...never had one...so cant comment on that....

My friend Cathy has had to send her LG flip back because of software issues. The language was changing to Arabic or something. BUT, while she was on the phone, she found out they had cancelled the insurance on her phone saying they do not insure their phones anymore.  Can anyone else confirm this? |

Only problem I find with 3 Australia is support, do they realise that a lot of Indians are VERY hard to understand? |

Golden Face;
About your previous post, im not too sure about what is going on with the warranties and stuff involved with that when it comes to three. I was recently sent a letter, in regards to so sort of warranty sticker that had failed to be placed on the handset itself, and apparently its illegal to carry the three fone around without this "sticker of approval".
They have been toying around ever since they got here. I have had nothing against vodafone, o2, or orange, but i'm just a tad confused as to why, they would sign up with a compnay like three, and have their decent reputation damaged by dodgy carriers.
i think i better start up my own fone company. maybe i could make a deal with Telstra, and use their coverage... i was thinking that maybe i could call it 2.77recurring. something catchy like that. something that will never be as UBER as 3.
fags.
woot signing off. |
