A very well attended event, good to put faces to names, good day
all round really, picking up the 9 mix-tape tree climbs before
the event, then a surprise with the Cuckoo cache. shame it was
so wet towards the end. Looking forward to the next Cotswold
event

I'm getting there to and I'm not even a customer yet :o But with
no mobile mast near by and we've got a Vodafone Sure Single box
already and their new Smart Ultra 6 mobile getting good reviews
- this was why Vodafone. But I'm now seriously thinking on
giving up on them.

Since 4th July I've been trying to buy a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6
mobile. It's a new mobile and small Vodafone shops don't have it
and it seems I can't order one at a shop.
So, use the Vodafone web shop, which I tried, several times to
do :o
- You get right to the end where their site verifies details
with my credit card and it fails :o
- So I got an on line "Live chat" person to go through the issue
as I must be doing something wrong :o
- An hour and a half later, I seem to have placed an order, well
got a Vodafone order number. ::)
- What the "Live chat" person got me to do, by a link, turned
out to jump the credit card verification so Vodafone got no
money and so I got no mobile :o :(
- It was several days and no mobile when I checked my credit
card to find out no money had been taken, back to Vodafone :(
- I tried their telephone number 08080... but you get caught in
an endless loop by the auto system asking for my mobile number
or account no - I don't have either, I'm a new customer :o :(
- Another on-line "Live chat" asking what happened to my order
and then asking for a number to call a real person and was given
191 :o :o >:(
- I asked how was I going to call this number when I have yet
not got my Vodafone mobile, were they not reading our "Live
chat" >:( >:(
- Got another number 03333 .... and another auto system that
doesn't let you get through to a real person >:( >:( >:( >:(
- Cooled off, so thought I would try again today, even tried on
my Android tablet. Web shop failed again right at the end :o
- "Live chat" again and went through the whole process because I
must be doing something wrong :o
- Bet you can't guess what happened right at the end - failed to
verify >:(
- I was told it is an issue with their computers and the IT team
are working on it ::) :(
- I asked about talking to a real person but was told that they
don't deal with PAYG sales over the telephone, go to a shop >:(
- I needed to go to Cirencester day, so while there, tried that
shop and was basically told I can't order one, go to a big
branch where they may stock them >:( >:( ::) ???
- PS: I now have about 7 login accounts for Vodafone, as one is
created each time I tried to place an order ::) ::) :o ;D

Sounds like you need some Live Chat to help sort it out,
[member=3]walktall[/member] :P :D ;D ;D ;D
What a nightmare! Hopefully you get it sorted soon. I've found
that Three is good, although some areas around here have no
coverage (e.g. Chipping Campden).

I had another mobile I was looking at but a bit more expensive,
hence why I went with Vodafone.
Not any more ;D
I'm going to go with EE, especially as our village might get the
mast that EE have planing permission for & not yet built.
They may now build it, as they got shamed on BBC Oxford the
other day, a bit about poor mobile coverage in the Cotswolds and
they got mentioned as they haven't built the mast yet. There may
be someone you recognise who was on this piece ::)

Missed your 5 minutes of fame [member=3]walktall[/member], will
have to see if I can find it online.
We use Vodaphone because the coverage around home and work is
good., but there service, grr! Only just this week they
increased one of my son's tariffs by £4 and changed the amount
of contract data and talk time without any consultation with us.
And when Tracy went down into the shop in town they said they
couldn't do anything about it we would have to ring up. So she
made them let her use their phone in the shop and gave them
"what for" in front of all the other customers in there. It's
sorted now, well at least for the moment.
I found three caches today. Haven't logged them yet. One of them
the logbook was a bit of disarray, but the cache was otherwise
in good shape. Where was I? Have a guess. Attaching a big clue I
spotted.
