I'm south of Newcastle, but I actually think I know the regional manager that covers that store, I'll ask when I next see him.
Ah, I'm North

What does "dims" mean when you see it on the details that get published on roadworks.org? Assuming it's something to do with foundations or cabinets?

Pop into a store and ask them to remove and then re-add WiFi calling to your account. That should resolve it for you.

Not according to the Vodafone website, it's 6s and 6s Plus (and from today on s6 and s6 edge).

To take advantage of Wi-Fi Calling, you need:

a Pay monthly Red or Red Value Bundle, Red+ or Business Premier*
iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus
Wi-Fi Calling is coming soon to the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge


* Wi-Fi Calling is only available to business customers on relevant plans and phones, bought directly from Vodafone. This doesn’t include business customers on One Net or One Net Express

A bit like mobile phones, one day a purely business tool, the next the entire world has to have one...
I think a lot of people just had them because they were lazy, we all seemed to survive years ago with our home phones and Bt call boxes.

You could say that about the 'internet', shall we contact your ISP and ask them to cut off your broadband and give you a dial up number

I never had that, but then I was paying more for dialup than everyone else was paying for broadband at the time. Some ISPs dumped us for being connected too long

(couldn't get ADSL until 2005, it was a very lovely day when the ADSL light stopped flashing on the router and I was able to download at 2Mbps)

10 years later some of us still can't get 2mb ADSL.

Freeserve Ours charged us something like £1/minute if we were connected over an hour for some reason.

2006 I finally got access to 1Mbps, it's amazing! (compared to 56k)

Yeah I think the 23rd or 24th of May 2003 here (Totnes exchange).
Sounds like you did what I did. I had a Dlink router all set up flashing away with dial up over the top. I remember not noticing it had come on one morning and thinking crikey the IE cache is working well this morning.... Hahahahaha
512Kbps back then to start with!

I struggle to understand why not only does their WiFi calling not have SMS but what conceivable reason can they come up with to explain why it doesn't work on the iPhone 6/6+?
Whatever it is i don't believe them.
Jokers.
Can you imagine the backlash if EE had done that!

Not sure whats been going on today with Vodafone I have had VOLTE symbol appear on my S6 three times in different locations it let me place a call rang twice then disconnected so must have been some sort of testing taking place.

Wifi Calling is all over the place as well works one minute then then it doesn't the next all on the same network

We all know that 2G and non-upgraded 3G on Vodafone is awful - if not totally unusable - but where the sites HAVE been upgraded, it's fair to say that it's pretty much as good as Three or EE.

Likewise for O2, where even GPRS and EDGE can work at near maximum speeds for each technology now it has the backhaul in place. Ironic that once the site has fast 3G and 4G, almost nobody will need the 2G (except, again, for some M2M applications).
First sentence - are you referring to data or voice?

Second sentence - will 4G when fully rolled out be able to offer the same (voice) coverage as 2G?

Some Vodafone employees were doing dodgy things with contract end dates, etc. but they replaced that system with another one so you can't do that anymore.

But, they still took away the ability for the stores to raise billing requests, cancel contracts, really do anything account related that isn't a SIM swap or an upgrade
Curious - what kind of dodgy things were they doing?

My current 200GB SIM got the £10 top up added as usual, but I stopped the pack before it was taken. Now my balance is showing as £20, which means I'm somehow getting 200GB for minus £10!
How did you stop the pack?

Well for example you could make a contract one day long and get an upgrade every day...

OK, so more a case of doing over the company than doing over the punter... I just had some thought of retail staff lengthening contracts in order to get commission or some such, but on thinking about it that doesn't really make much sense!

Of course fixing the system for an early upgrade would line the member of staff up for whatever commission was on offer for a sale. (And then there's the possibility of back handers from knowing punters...)
