I have used vodaphone for 5 years and never had any problems at all with them although I haven't got a G3 so I can't comment there. Just my yens worth!

3G's trash. Mine after two months has developed a problem with rechargher connecter. Sometimes it won't connect so I have to adjust it for ten minutes. There have been problems messaging too. I'm not rough with it either, if anything I've been babying it. Piece of junk!

I got my Vodafone for free with Nova. I knew I shouldn't have gotten it. What a piece of crap. It was huge and had a nice camera but the reception is terrible and I couldn't make collect calls with it. I called the operator and was told "we dont offer that service" what the hell??
I trashed mine yesterday and picked up the new AU A1404S phone which is a thing of beauty. Amazing reception too. And on top of that I don't feel like even more of a foreigner for being seemingly the only one i meet who uses Vodafone (or as I like to call it Gajinfone)

#1

Since when is it ever a good idea to let someone else "optionize" and pick YOUR cell phone?

#2

Piece of crap...

A little more information such as the model type would be more informative to other viewers of this thread.

#3

Gaijinfone...

I have the utmost appreciation for such dry wit; however, you are a foreigner...

...I dont think your cell phone company is going to make you look any less like one, but best of luck.


On a side note, depending on where you go to acquire your cell phone different options will be offered. I went through a fair number of Vodafone shops and the option of which services I wanted was only offered twice. The other few times I was given no choice in the options.
