A friend was at my front door when we sent him a txt, (didn't know he was at the front door but he rang the door bell as the send button was pressed). He was sitting in my lounge 2 hours later when the message finally arrived at his phone. He was on telecom and we were on vodiphone. He hadn't left our house during that time and the reception is good. tcomp (5542)

237089 2004-05-18 03:53:00 Thanks for all the advice, everyone. It looks as though it might be six of one and half a dozen of the other which confirms my suspicions.

The two 027 phones here have good reception at a number of places in the wop-wops that the 025 phones can't handle so it looks like my 025 phone's days with me are fairly numbered. ;-)

Yeah it was pretty unbelievable.

It was kinda random ringing 111 and talking to the dispatcher there (whom I knew) and sorta saying "Yeah um, I'm on the Lynx and just happened to find a diver" etc...
