hi Tim...

so what is different about this new device u are offering? will it work? is it for everyone who is experiencing the difficulties or will it only work in certain areas???

TIM,

I have yet to be replied to in this thread by ANYONE from Vodafone regarding any of my posts in the 2 weeks since my initial post - rather annoying. I'm getting lovely PM's informing me that I've reached a new ranking for posting in the community, yet no PM to help me rectify the situation like I've asked for repeatedly. I've spent the past HOUR trying to log into My Vodafone to check my current usage. Took me another 20 minutes to sign into the forums to post this. Ridiculous.

So I'll ask again - Would you or someone on your end kindly PM me because as detailed in my previous posts throughout the thread, I am unable to use nearly all of the data which I am currently paying for as I cannot maintain a working connection to the net. As detailed in previous posts, I don't feel like I should be forced to pay the full amount of my current and upcoming bills until I have access to a working service again.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter.

Hi bindieblue,

The device we are offering is compatible with our 850 network, whereas the device you currently have is not. People who live in areas covered by our 850 network will experience the greatest benefit from using the new device.

I've read through your posts - I can appreciate the concerns you've expressed, and am glad we were able to offer you 3 months with reduced access fees while we investigated the issue. I was unable to find a post where you confirmed the trouble shooting you have completed.

If you have completed all the trouble shooting outlined by Tim in his posts here, and you have posted the outcome previously, would you mind linking the Help team to the post?

If you've not yet posted the outcome, would you please copy the details in Part III of the guide, and paste your answers back into this thread?

Part III of the guide includes all the information I will need (including your post code) to be able to help you further.

Thanks,

Kirsty.
