Hi
Well I managed to get talks through Vodafone around May last year and they
insisted upon sending the handset to their service centre. However, I found
that it didn't work too well. I caught up with Mike Ducksbury at Sight
Village. We arranged to meet up when he was to visit my area. I was to ring
and make arrangements at the beginning of that week however, he never answered
his phone, nor did he reply to my emails. I really felt anoid that Vodafone
had took a big commitment from me and forgot their commitment. Recently, when
their network went down, for some weeks, I found their support seriously
lacking. I don't think that I'll be sticking with Vodafone once I'm free of
the contract.
Last month a blind friend asked about Vodafone's service and customer support
couldn't answer his question. So I rang on his behalf and I was told they
still offered the service. It seemed it was difficult to speak to the right
people.
BTW: At Sight Village, Vodafone were selling discontinued pay-as-you-go
handsets with talks installed, at a very good price. Whether they'll be doing
the same this year, who knows.
