    except you get 3g everywhere with vodafone

    Not correct , 3 have the largest 3G population coverage with 94% followed by o2 at 90.5%, I'd guess Vodafone is lagging a good bit behind followed by meteor.
    The figures above are a little misleading as there's a substantial difference between 3 & o2's indoor 3G coverage maps.

    3 Indoor in light blue

    o2 Indoor in Purple

    Meteor's Indoor coverage is fairly slim.

    The Vodafone 3G indoor coverage map won't load up for me, their coverage checker is broke.

    The 3G coverage maps speak for themselves. o2 and 3 offer the best coverage for the iphone 3G.

    I used a vodafone iphone at the weekend and was shocked to find you only get the choice of one network, it won't let you select between 2G & 3G. That's a serious flaw.
    Can you select between o2, 2G & 3G on the iphone? Do both networks show up in a network search?

    No, only one - O2 IRL. If you turn off 3G it reverts to EDGE though, does that count?

    Cos meteor sent it to him? He showed it to me and said "in case you thought I was making it up"

    I'm guessing they were just sim free iPhones bought to keep their high rolling customers happy. They did announce that they have no plans to release the iPhone.

    So has he commented on why some customers are being offered them?

    He just denied that that was happening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,706 ✭✭✭120_Minutes


    Kinda makes the "no plans to release" line a bit less credible then doesn't it?

    ive asked why are Meteor providing iPhones to some customers and not others, and i got no reply! wont expect one now until Monday at the earliest.

    i even gave them a link of one guy selling his Meteor issued iPhone on adverts - http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=208467&cat=188

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff

    Someone on their forum has linked to the adverts.ie ad for the meteor iPhone. That's right under the part where their Forum Mod said this
    Hi Ronan,

    Sorry if anyone has been told differently but at the minute we have no plans to release the iphone. Don't worry I'll make sure the handset guys keep us updated so if there was any change to this we'll make sure to let you all know as soon as we can.

    Hope this helps
