Are any of you having trouble texting vodafone mobiles?
My sis and I are both having issues with the messages not sending and I'm wondering if there is a problem with their network or if we're just lucky

Me and my friend sometimes have this and it is so annoying. I think it happens when the so many people are texting at the same time and the server goes crazy. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

YES! I'm so glad to hear that, well not really but you get what I mean.. I was just about to take my phone in to get looked at. I keep getting error messages saying sending failed and my mum says she has sent me messages but they never arrive! she has vodafone, I have telecom.
I just have to say that telecom suck and the only reason I'm with them is for $10 text, I've always had heaps of problems with them, and they are never much help. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I recently switched from vodafone and never had issues sending to telecom from that phone which makes me think that maybe vodafone's network is superior?
I've emailed them about it, I wonder how long it will take to get a response. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

| I have one of each and have problems with both at times I come to the conclusion that on busy days they give telecom to telecom txts higher priority same with vodaphone. I still reckon they are very equal companies |

I have both  and I have to say that they are much of a muchness in terms of customer service. Vodafone were down for 2 days over NY with no explanation other than overloading, yet Telecom managed to function. But I can send PXt from my vodafone when roaming and not my Telecom.
Both suck IMHO -they could do with some competition to improve services and drive prices down like in Australia -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Well I got this from them just now
"Dear Melanie Our mobile support Team have advised that there is a know problem at present with texting to other networks. At this stage, we do not have an ETA for a fix for this, but are working as hard as possible to resolve this issue. " So I guess thats good? At least they're working to fix it! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I dont have problems with texting vodafone but sometimes I dont get messages form my friends who are vodafone.
But I ofund when I was on vodafone before I switched to telecom that sometimes messages from my vodafone to another vodafone would take anywhere from instantly up to 5dyas to arrive to the other phone. I always wondered why people used to send me messages telling me I was a snob when I was actually texting them. It used to frustrate me. I changed to telecom for the coverage more so than anything else, becuase in Queenstown/ Arrowtown I used to always lose reception with vodafone, and had never had issues with telecom til I mvoed to Wellington. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
