3 wireless routers

whizkid1

I just bought a 3 wireless router in Belfast to share out my 3 broadband wirelessly. works on any 3 broadband modem

Imagine my fury when I got it home only to find that it was locked to 3s uk customers only

Imagine they locked a router to 3s uk customers

These will be soon released in the republic. my bet is they will cost 3 times the uk price.

ROI customers beware

the joy or carnage of buying in the north its a different country

Imagine, they subsidise hardware sales to their customers and they have the nerve to lock the device, same apples to most phone sold, this is not a rip-off, just un-informed buying...

So hang on you bought esentially a UK "mobile" and found it was locked to the UK supplier of this mobile, shock horror!!!!

You'll find its the same for any iPhone, Nokia etc :rolleyes:

Not a consumer issue imho, its simply down to you not doing research on any level
