    I hate to say it but I wouldn't use anyone but Vodafone or O2 for business purposes. :)

    I've used both Three and Meteor for business with absolutely no problems.
    This Tesco thing's ridiculous they seem to be falling over quite regularly.

    Jesus lads. Relax. I've been with tesco over a year. It will be fixed soon. Its still worth the money. Stop bitching of a couple of hours lost coverage. I doubt it was intentional.

    Sorry but 4 times in 5 months isn't acceptable. I defended them the first time but not again.

    Tesco use the O2 network, I don't believe there's an issue with O2 so this has to be an intentional outage by Tesco for maintenance or whatever, it's also too much of a coincidence that the last two outages occurred after normal working hours. When people rely on and become everyday dependent on their mobile phones , even an outage of several hours is immensely frustrating and unacceptable.

    Of course it wasn't intentional. I can 100% assure you no network wants this kind of thing to happen!

    MVNOs don't necessarily share any of the host network's switching system or any of that aspect of the network.
    Most of the 'intelligent' functions of the network would be the MVNO's own gear.

    So, the fact that the O2 network's up, means very little really.

    My phone re-registered on the network and I got an SMS that was sent earlier today but I still can't do anything on the network.

    They just cost me a nights income. Plus to customers and to other business users it makes me look unreliable. Ya will just have to forgive me for being concerned.

    Dont ever use TM for business. If your phone is for work then go with o2 or Voda.

    You need to get sims from different providers then, can't put all your eggs in one basket if you rely on your mobile so much for work!

    I wonder does that fact that they're taking customers from o2 have anything to do with it?:cool:

    And advertise 2 or 3 numbers? And top or pay the bill of 2 or 3 phones? And as if that's not enough, carry the extra phones with you?

    Not practical

    Three numbers will go on a business card.

    Buy a dual sim phone to use two of the numbers, and only use the third when one of the first two sims aren't working.

    Its not hard to do, it all depends on how much your business means to you.

    You can't rely on networks in this country!
