Well she called back today. Left a message. Order still there but not processed.
She's escalated it to find out when it will be here.
I like EE Business

Thanks, I guess I'll ring ans see then, though she is PAYG so not holding up hope. Still, at least Orange now have femto.

Woohoo! I do believe you will be first mate.
Had a second message from EE business last night. Only got it this morning (bad signal see! :-)
She said I wouldn't get it today but it will be here Friday. Cool.

Pagemakers · 13-12-2012, 12:26

Mine arrived today. Very small and sexy looking.

Problem is when I call the T-Mobile activation number nobody has any idea how to active ate the device!!!!

Called twice now.

Pagemakers · 13-12-2012, 13:36

T-Mobile called me back after about an hour. Gave them the IMEI number from the box and it activated in about 20 mins.

I have gone from 0-1 bars of signal with GPRS to full bars and 3G anywhere in my house.

3G speed test results: Ping 99ms Download 9.02Mbs Upload 4.81Mbs

Call quality excellent.

Unlike the Vodafone box, you do not need to register mobile numbers. They just work. There is no admin access that I can see.

The device is a Nokia Siemens FAPr-hsp 5000

Sounds like devon bloke is going to crack open a bottle when he gets his

The Lord Lucan · 13-12-2012, 13:45

He'll probably Pass out from excitement when reads this

Reading the spec sheet Nokia recommends a home broadband connection of a minimum of 2mb down and 512kb (0.5mb) up.

was it t-mobile business or normal that called you back?

Pagemakers · 13-12-2012, 14:45

It was Tech Support. The number I initially called to activate the box as per the instructions in the box.

wrexham103.4 · 13-12-2012, 17:09

do you have the number pls

Pagemakers · 13-12-2012, 17:15

08009563146

And to confirm this is the tmobile activation line. Not the ordering line.

ok thanks just calling now, plugged mine in 5 mins ago and the light is still flashing

Pagemakers · 13-12-2012, 17:26

It won't work until they activate it.

wrexham103.4 · 13-12-2012, 17:42

23 mins and still on hold

paulker · 13-12-2012, 18:10

I called EE business. Answered in 1.25 seconds. They put me through to tech support and registered it for me. Its pretty good bit of kit. I notice that my iphone makes a beep when a call connects through the femto. Not sure if thats iphone specific.

paulker · 13-12-2012, 18:14

Will put up a speed test through it with wifi off shortly (Sky fibre). I brought it home and am just waiting on it configuring itself

wrexham103.4 · 13-12-2012, 19:10

mines all activated now

i know when im connected to the femto as my phone displays tmobile - orange , and we dont have orange 3G around here

where's Devon? wonder if his arrived

DevonBloke · 13-12-2012, 20:18

I'm here.
Mine came this afternoon.
Just plugged it in but no info on registering it!
I'll ring them in a mo when I've got the kids to bed!
Noticed it an 8 user device not 4 as advertised on the website.
This would be why Nokia recommend 2Meg.
Mines normally 1.6 which should be fine since there's only 2 handsets in the house.
Sight problem though. After a line fault my ADSL is 283Kbps. Great!!
The Dynamic Line Management hasn't brought the speed back up yet so I'm stuffed.

But when it is working, I'll probably have a coronary, yes.

DevonBloke · 13-12-2012, 20:53

It says the device is HSPA but doesn't mention a "+".
Once Paulker get to test it on something faster than 20Meg we'll know.
Also I see they only recommend 2Meg download so there's a decent handset data connection. For most the data connection won't be used, only voice/sms.
I note they recommend 512 upload meaning that 512 must be enough for 8 Simeltanious calls.
Therefore my measly 283Kbps should be enough for at least 1 call which is all I need 90% of the time.

DevonBloke · 13-12-2012, 20:55

BUGGER!! EE business gone home.
Aaarrrggghhhhh!!

wrexham103.4 · 13-12-2012, 20:56

my broadband is 2.10 down and 0.39 up and the signal box works fine

paulker · 13-12-2012, 21:13

Well, I have done a speediest with wifi off and the speeds are rubbish. Less than 2 up and down. Switch wifi back on and way hay.
