Vodafone mobile coverage - tower hit by lightining?
« on: September 14, 2008, 10:46:05 AM »
Hey peoples,  my phone has basically got no signal...seems obvious that lightning has made the local tower inoperable...OR here is my question?

Does anyone else with Vodafone not have signal :)   Leading to the conclusion that Vodafone just Fails.

Ta.

Phone Owned: Nokia N95 5megapixel phone

Each tower has extreme lightning protection.If a site is hit it trips a breaker to prevent damage to the equipment, which are Ericsson RBS2000/2708 Base Stations.The microwave link sends a message to the next base station and coverage is taken over until the affected base comes back online. :wink:

lol.. Or Optus' $550 for $80 ...

So many comparisons Zip-meister.. - All I know is they both beat the Virgin PrePaid.. (IMO) - No slander or defamation intended..

Optus's customer service record lets it down tho' - in short, they suck at Customer service!!
