Vodafone

Advantages: great UK customer service, great coverage
Disadvantages: NA

...Vodafone is a phone company I used to be with years ago, but due to the rest of my family members switching, I had to make the switch to the same provider as them. Now, they have made the switch back to Vodafone, and I have recently done the same, and have to say, it's a great network to be with, and has a vast amount of call plans Making the Switch To make the switch to Vodafone, I ordered a Sim Pack online, which was free with free deliver- all the more to convince me to move to their network. The delivery had a little delay in between, but the Vodafone customer service and e-forum team kept me up to date, and in contact until my Sim Card arrived, which was within a few days of contacting them. I have now been with Vodafone again, for about a month, and can honestly say, the network has not changed since last time I had it...

Vodafone!

Advantages: Great customer service, easy to speak to, friendly!
Disadvantages: None!

...I have been with vodafone for a very long time and i find them a good service, I was with 02 before vodafone and found that they was not as good as vodafone, I am a very good texter and 02 could not find me a good tariff, but as soon as i spoke to vodafone they were easy to talk to and helped me straight away, i get 500 free minutes anytime of the day and 1000 textes a month for just £35 which i found is brilliant compare to other network rates. There are different priceplans, you can find online but i found it easier to phone them and speak to them personally about what i used my mobile for and for them to tell me a price with what i wanted instead of getting a priceplan online and going over that priceplan. Vodafone do a great package called "family" its a package where you can have 4 people who can ring eachother no matter...

GPS extraordinaire

Advantages: Very fast connection speeds
Disadvantages: None

...After purchasing a Pocket PC (HP hx4700) mainly for use as a calender assistant and portable web browsing device, I soon discovered that it could also be used as a portable Sat Nav device as well, allowing applications such as Tomtom to be uploaded onto it, and for those who are interested in light aircraft flying, like me, memory map is fantastic aviation GPS program which can be used on using actual CAA aviation maps with GPS data overlay for flight planning and tracking purposes. The one extra hardware add-on which is needed to allow tomtom and memory map to function is a GPS receiver device. I had previously purchased a Compact Flash card extension GPS receiver which plugged into the Pocket PC's existing ports directly, unfortunately, it was very poor at satellite tracking and position locking, taking several minutes to lock-on to...

Vodafone Mobile Network - Not The Worst, Not The Best

Advantages: Good signal; good range of phones; reasonably priced plans
Disadvantages: Poor customer services; long customer service waiting times; incorrect bills

..., and even though I later went on to experience several problems with the phone (Sony Ericsson W910i), I couldn't fault Vodafone. Here's why: SIGNAL STRENGTH I can literally get a signal just about anywhere. The only times when I have difficulty is inside a few of the lecture halls at my University, but that's no major problem at all as I don't use my phone whilst in lectures. My girlfriend is on 'Orange' and struggles to get signal in the front room, whereas with Vodafone it's no problem at all. I've also been abroad a good few times since being with Vodafone, and have always managed to maintain signal even in other countries. I used to have a '3' phone - years ago now, probably back in around 2003, and I struggled to get a signal wherever I went. With Vodafone, as I've previously mentioned, I can make calls and send/receive texts...

TomTom Wireless GPS Receiver 20 channel GPS receiver module

Advantages: good
Disadvantages: none

...I dont have a 20 channel receiver however I do have a 12 channel receiver which came in the box with my Tom Tom Navigator 5 for PDA, whichi I use in my Treo 680 Smart Phone. The whole thing works perfectly and I couldn't ask for more as Sat Nav goes. The GPS receiver looks identical to the 20 channel one shown here and if this one works as well as mine does then you can't go wrong. It has a matt cover which makes it stay put where ever you place it on the dashboard and in use I've found that it picks up a signal very quickly and once linked to the PDA by bluetooth it keeps the signal so long as it can see just a tiny bit of sky. Once linked I take the unit off the dash and place it on the floor of the car in between the seats and it keeps the signal through motorway tunnels and even during a traffice halt under a bridge! It does link...

Vodafone Update

Advantages: My family and boyfriend are on Vodafone so I can save money on calls to them, offers a wide range of services, excellent customer service.
Disadvantages: Not always the best coverage, expensive, limited choice of price plans, not suitable anymore

...I have been with Vodafone now for nearly three years. I brought my first phone on pay as you go on and I was spending a fortune on top ups. I then a year later decided to buy a contract phone on Vodafone to save me money on my calls by having the free minutes off peak to call people. This actually did not work out much cheaper than top ups because I always was texting more than calling. I admit it I am a text addict and when my bill came in each month I was horrified to see how many I sent each month but it didn't stop me did it. My bill was around £60 - 70 per month in just texting. I wish I could have got out of the habit, but still to this day I text too much. I have actually now a genie sim card where I can send 300 text messages free every month. This was great when I first received it and my next two bills were only £30...

The best GPS receiver I have seen yet!

Advantages: Tiny, appealling, accurate, powerful and desirable.
Disadvantages: Rubber cover for DC power supply breaks off easily.

...) alternatives. Suddenly, the GlobalSat BT338 popped up in front of me. It looked more like a fold-up mobile phone. I seriously thought that it was all looks, and no function. I was fortunately proven wrong. One quick eBay bid, and a couple of days later, I was holding the GlobalSat BT338. The first thing that struck me was how small, but solid the device felt. Of the external appearance, only one thing bothered me, and that was the rubber cover for the DC power supply (to the lower left of the image shown). The rubber was so soft, that it felt rather anaemic. The device is supplied with a large capacity 1700mAH Li-Ion battery. When you see how small this GPS receiver is, you'll be even more amazed that about half of that size holds the battery. The battery fits snugly and securely inside the device, by means of a slide off back cover...

VODAFONE - become a Vodaclone

Advantages: Price Plans, Coverage, Ethics
Disadvantages: The TV adverts

...~~~ Vodafone History ~~~ Vodafone is the largest mobile network provider in the UK and it's headquarters is based in Newbury, Berkshire close to junction 13 of the M4, which is home to over 6000 employees. Back in 1983, a small electronics firm called Racal teamed up with an American telecoms company and together they bid (and won) one of the 2 mobile phone operators licenses which were put up for grabs by the government. Vodafone was launched 2 years later in 1985 - the name of the other company was Cellnet (later renamed BT Cellnet). In 1993 a new boy arrived on the block called One-2-One, prompting Vodafone to look beyond the UK to increase it's revenue and co-inciding with the launch of digital technology or GSM as it is referred to now. The next 6 years saw Vodafone buying out...

vodafone

Advantages: cheap, easy, cashback means cheap phones
Disadvantages: dropped line quality at peak periods

...I've been with vodafone for about 6 months now, and after being with one2one and btcellnet, i must say it is the best mobile phone provider. Many of my friends are on this and so i get very cheap calls to them which helps. They also have the excellnt scoot feature which enables you to get free information(dial 333 from your vodafone FREE). Vodafone also has an excellent customer service, my two calls gave been answered almost immediately, and the help i have recieved has been clear and simple. I would recommend this to anyone....

Great GPS receiver

Advantages: light, portable, good reception, accutate
Disadvantages: none

...A slim GPS Receiver that connect to your device using 'Bluetooth' a handy product that will enable your smartphone or windows mobile phone to connect to the GPS satalite network for trip guidence and other similar sat-nav tasks. I have used this with my O2 XDA mini phone and found it to be very reliable. I loaded the Destinator sat-nav software onto my phone, launched the application and swithched on the Holux receiver and once i had set up the pairing in my phone it was good to go! Reception was excellent and accuracy very good. In fact because it is so portable i was able to compare it with my friends Pergout car's factory fitted sat-nav and it beat it for accuracy hands down. I also use it with some Geocaching software for paperless caching - look up Geocaching on google if you want to know what it is? Some phones now have...
