what disgruntles you so, Claude Speed?

It's important that I know.

never get a decent signal at all, it's like talking to a brick

have you enabled roaming onto T-Mobile?

(arseboon dilbaro arseboon dilbaro, Tue 28 Feb 2012, 12:46, archived)

yes and i've never even had a signal from that either

what phone have you got, and where are you?

samsung tocco and im in swansea

dodgy phone in a patchy coverage area

the problem with Orange is that they insist on putting their own modified software on handsets, and the Tocco wasn't reliable to start with.

Swansea seems to have very patchy coverage, with the most consistant signal coverage over the sea.

i'll have to rent a boat and hang around in the bristol channel then?

I actually get pretty good signal with them...

...are you ACTUALLY talking to a brick, by any chance?

^ this with fucking bells on

the T-mobile shared signal is loads better, but it doesnt always become available.

Samsung galaxy S2, living in islington, london

Good signal outside most of the time, but it pretty much dies as soon as i touch my phone in my flat. There's supposed to be an app on the included orange firmware that enables you to use your wifi connection to get a perfect connection, but orange havent made it available for the SG S2 yet.

poor service

there's no excuse for Orange to be weak anywhere in London.

But try this:

That's the app i was talking about. Not got that kies thing installed. Suppose ill have to sccumb and install it if i want to try this out...

Im guessing the lead coated bunker i live in is to blame for the signal drop, perhaps. According to some website thing, orange reception is excellent in all of london.
