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.

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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
