The infinite dilemma. Does this mean they’re so big they can do amazing things for the consumer, or does this mean they’re so big they can do amazingly horrible things to the consumer.
Does it mean now that vodafone gonna use three 5g masts where they had no signal before and vice versa?
Are crap – I moved off of three to Vodafone as their signal strength was pants in my hometown
Terrible news. Mobile service is already shit in the U.K, it’s simply about to get worse and more expensive with this consolidation. Oh, and we get to see thousands of more job-losses from both companies in the coming years, thanks to this little turn of phrase: “The combined group are also aiming to deliver £700 million in savings annually within five years.”
I hate this timeline.
4g signal in my area is shit even though their website says it’s good. 5g is non existent despite the website saying it’s good. I’ve been with Vodafone for 20+ years. Same number. If it wasn’t for my cheap monthly cost, i wouldn’t stay with them.
Now after this merger… Will it be better for me? I doubt it.
You’d have to pay me to use Vodafone, they were the most expensive and inefficient company I ever had the misfortune to have used.
I appreciated them when they helped out to give a free phone sim card, data and texts, but when I stayed with them as I appreciated the gesture I then found they were not competitive at all, they were expensive and their gesture was not to help me out, but to capture me to gouge my limit resource as much as they could. Everything they did was to confuse their customers so they could continue their pretence as market leaders.
I just left Vodafone at £57 a month to smarty for £8 a month, enough said
Meanwhile, we again have no mobile signal or data on VF as the local cell tower has no UPS; O2 share the tower and have the same issues, so the only option to explore is EE (or one of the virtual networks using EE).
Service will *absolutely* not get worse from this, or more expensive.
No sir.
So how come this was allowed but O2 weren’t allowed to merge with Three? How many brown envelopes have been handed around for this?
I just know it’s gonna me cost more.
It always does.
They might surprise me by saying, have 30% off for 6 months to celebrate the merger.
yet here I am still using my o2 sim from 20 years ago, that I can go years without adding any credit to as I’m always home so just use the wifi…and then if I do need any, its £5 for unlimited text and calls…can live without going online whilst out and about.
Hopefully, we’ll start getting better signal now as a Vodafone customer.
Oh no, looks like cheap sims will be a thing of the past, three were always the good value cheap and cheerful option, but probably won’t be now if they’re part of Vodafone. Terrible news for the customer. I love the excuse of well it’s okay because they’ll invest more in 5g, well surely they should be doing that anyway?
So I’m guessing this means that within a few months that the lowest signal quality for three customers will drop from 3g to E? or might there be some silver lining that Vodafone customers would get 3G as their lowest signal?
I’m still surprised this was allowed to go through given how O2 and three wasn’t allowed a few years ago and this has the same effect of reducing the number of operators
Vodafone support once called me an “Idiot” for asking to end my contract, because I bought a OnePlus over an iPhone, which at the time they didn’t support.
Fuck em
