Telecom XT can get fucked

[SMOKEU]

I've been having endless problems with XT. Several times my phone doesn't receive txts for several hours, then all of a sudden I'm receiving in excess of 40 txts all at once, some of which were sent the previous day. The mobile TV is shit as well, it won't play for more than 30 seconds without pausing. Leaving it to buffer for several minutes doesn't help. Telecom say they've fixed it but that's complete bullshit if I'm still having problems with it. The old network never gave me such troubles. I've got a lot of explaining to do to angry people as to why they couldn't get hold of me. It's not like Telecom even care. They're denying that a problem even exists (when I called them tonight).

try crashing it.

LOL telecunt must die.

Why do you think i have gone and got a Vodafone and 2Degrees phone? May be more expensive to stay in Contact with people, But at least i can stay in Contact with them!

[Hitcher]

Recipe for success:

Adopt an unproven technology just so you can have a point of difference with your competition
Trust a contractor to implement a solution you don't understand yourself
Take a bunch of shortcuts to save money
Rush it into production early
Spend shitloads overpromising it
Have no Plan B
Pay CEO $3 million performance bonus.

Everybody wins!

Without a job I can barely afford to top up my XT mobile, any other network would be unaffordable.

I've only ever had to pay 1 fine, fuck knows how I haven't received any more fines. Bike rego runs out in 2 weeks and insurance is due next week. I don't know how I'm going to scrape up the cash.

For some reason we were recently sent some new XT sim cards at work... some of us were getting texts late, not getting texts... I sat next to a friend who was having problems with her XT phone, yet mine was working fine... something to do with a new sim perhaps :yes:

No, I'm not on WINZ or anything like that. These days I have to find my own money.

Either way, I'm going to have my old phone on the old Telecom network connected so that way I will carry 2 phones with me at all times. My clients go to another supplier if they can't get hold of me, so this is costing me money. And no, I'm not a drug dealer.

Had mine reconnected and the XT phone sent back to whoever at no cost to me what so ever, they even sent a courier bag so I could send the XT phone back.

What about the old network ?

Why you decide to go xt ?

Because XT is the cheapest by far. Now I know why. You get what you pay for.

I have a TelstraClear Nokia which I got free, a 6275i and have had it over a year and it's been perfect. Only $20 pm, 500 text/pic to any network and 29c calling to any landline or mobile in NZ! On the old network I've had no problems, save not being able to pxt my wife, but it seems to be only her phone!

When deciding what to do about a business phone, since I'm spending a lot more time calling, I carefully considered all the networks before deciding to upgrade my old Vodafone pre-pay which I still had to a free Nokia E63 on the 120min plan. Get 120min, 600txt, 1 Bestmate. Telstra was next best, but couldn't give me the phone free.

My son-in-law runs a business in Auck and we chose Telecom for everything as they had the best combination including free-calling between all the work phones and the lowest overall costs. He's had no trouble at all with the XT network and they work throughout the city.

My new Vodafone sends pxt and txt instantly between the networks with no issues. I sent my old Sony Ericcson K750i to my Mum as a present and she stuck her 2Degrees sim in it and while I can send her pxt she can't send me one, however I'm not sure whether they are still learning how to use it yet, as they are not very techie. I'll call 2 degrees and ask them.

Are you a hooker?

[SMOKEU]

Are you a hooker?

No, unfortunately my services are not for sale.

[marty]

i still run old-school telecom. no problems whatsoever. wife and kids are on XT - poor reception at home and they go into 'emergency calls only' mode often.

Daughter has an 022 as well - it's really good, but can get a little expensive. has great service though.

[avgas]

I hear Toyota are using XT txt messages to tell the brakes to engage. Pretty amazing technology

[Mully]

XT is rubbish. We went on to it at work (cos we got some deal with telescum for all the calling we do).

I'd happily go back to Scodafone if I had the option.

Yeah so did we. But I am not complaining.
I have been on call for 12 weeks now - $200/week............been called out to site twice.
Apparently some calls didn't get through - diddims. hehe

XT will be fixed pretty soon, or so i've been informed... I've also been informed that someone decided to implement an architecture that didn't make any provision for failover (oooo, that'll save money)... some people saw this coming... some just crossed their fingers and hoped that the architecture, as it was, would be fine... DOH!!!

[Swampdonkey]

Endless problems since i signed up. XT has lost me sales, delayed txts and calls always dropped,even when the tower is in sight. Look forward to the change

[ckai]

Interesting really. I switched the company to XT after me and the wife switched and we have had no problems at all. We were pissed off at the shit reception of Vodafone. I was anti-telecom for ages but then decided to look into them again.

What does piss me off is Telecom keep giving us these bloody credits with reasons like "down network" when there's been nothing wrong with it for us ;)

Oh well
