dabitch är förbannad och jag förstår henne. Jag tar mig friheten att återge hennes inlägg om Vodafones urusla roaming-avtal och ännu uslare kundtjänst:
“| “Vodafone in Sweden sucks sucks sucks!” :: [2005-10-17 06:22PM] | | | | Wow, how much does Vodafone in Sweden suck? Something major lemme tellya. | | They can’t even send MMS’s to people. Seriously! Way beyond their | | technological capabilities apparently. Vodafone still live in the stoneage | | see. | | | | Ok, geek fact-check first, I have a Motorola v500 here in Denmark, Telia | | (Formerly Orange, formerly Mobilix – and yes I’ve been their customer since | | back then). I send and receive MMS pictures to people on mobilephone | | networks in Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, UK and Norway on a daily basis | | and have been doing so for years. I never have a problem, I send and people | | get my pics. I receive pictures or voicemessages back that I can view or | | hear in my phone wherever I might be. Ta-dah. Ain’t technology grand? | | | | That is, until a Vodafone customer in Stockholm sent me a picture of her | | cat. What do I get? I get a text message. | | It reads: Du har fått ett MMS från (phone number). Ämne: Bild(26) | | Finns att hämta på http://nytt.mms.vodafone.se . Lösenord (XXXX). From | | 10611. | | | | Wtf? Minutes later I get another MMS from that same person, and another | | message asking me to log in to vodafones Swedish site, with a password and | | all, to see that picture that was meant to be sent to my phone. Why didn’t | | they just send me the image? This ticks mes off. Also, the assumption that | | someone in another country reads Swedish is just bizarre. | | Something must be wrong, right? I phone up Vodafone in Sweden (muchos | | dineros €€€€!) to find out why I’m not simply getting the image to my | | phone – like normal networks do when they send MMS. | | | | When I finally get to speak to a person I lay it out for him, I’m in | | Denmark, I have Telia (formerly Orange, formerly Mobilix), I have a | | Motorola V500, I can MMS. Yet, from Vodafone I get this log in crap: Why? | | | | The guy on the other end starts by asking me to download something from | | Vodafone’s website. I ask him why I should download anything from Vodafones | | website. “So that you may receive MMS” he says. “Well I can receive MMS, to | | me it looks like Vodafone can’t send ’em properly. I have no problems with | | any other mobile phone networks in either sending or receiving.” He insists | | that I should download something from vodafone for quite some time, I snap | | at him that I’m not a vodafone customer and don’t really see why I should | | be downloading crap from vodafone.se to be able to just get the image. I | | ask that he explain to me properly why I need to get “inställningar” | | downloaded from Vodafone to get MMS’s from Vodafone, and by that I mean | | “give me a proper technical reason for this” not “gimme some bullshit | | “because I say so” that you just pulled out of your ass”. | | | | He says “So that you can see images”. Crist! I can see images (from | | everyone except vodafone!). Shouldn’t they just frickin’ SEND the damn | | image (rather than a URL and a password) instead? | | | | He goes off to speak to someone else, and now he reckons he has the right | | solution to the problem… it is…. Wait for it. “Change your mobile | | phone provider to TDC”. I splutter: “What!? You can’t be serious?” He was, | | very serious indeed. Now he tells me that it all depends on mobile roaming | | contracts between providers, and Vodafone can’t send to Telia in Denmark, | | so I should change to TDC. I laughed and said “Do you realise how daft that | | sounds? You have got to be kidding, what kind of half-assed company is | | vodafone that doesn’t have a roaming deal with the second largest mobile | | phone network in Denmark? Sounds like you are a bunch of amateurs! That | | just can’t be.” | | He insists. We go back and fourth on this for a while, all I can do to | | receive MMS’es to my mobile phone is change to TDC. That’s the final | | word. Then I say, ok fine, I have to change to TDC, fine, whatever you | | say. But please, explain this one to me – your Vodafone customer up in | | Stockholm snaps a picture with her phone, and sends it off as an MMS to | | me, for 3 Kronor. Yet what I receive is a simple SMS, text only. Why isn’t | | she just charged for a SMS when you don’t send the picture to my phone | | anyway? | | | | He hung up on me. | | | | Seriously. He hung up on me. Vodafone customer service told me to change | | providers and hung up on me. That is so fucked up. Vodafone sucks. If I | | were in Sweden and looking into mobile phone providers to use, I’d stay the | | hell away from Vodafone! Do not engage is all I can say. Choose another | | network.
Voice borde nog ha dubbelkollat om det verkligen fanns någon substans i det löfte som man konceptade åt Vodafone…
