(And yes we're happy with that) There is an dd on for phone, my mum likes the landline, so $99 in total. It will allow unlimited free calls to mobile which we don't get with Voyager. Makes it a tiny bit cheaper than Voyager too. And finally I'll be able to plug the phone back into the ONT instead of modem, which is a weird method Voyager uses. Geekzone has a discussion if anyone cares to look.	piroska (17583)
1477342	2021-05-23 22:35:00	We have just had the final two Vodafone VOD-TP Links installed. Yet to run speedtest to see how it compares. Latest Vod account to hand and what an abortion of a document!!. Once a free landline now becomes you pay for everything, calls to cellphones, home phone and national calling, caller display and the SuperWIFI mesh device. Oh well, we should have expected that, as the lady over the road has the extra TV linked as well and has to ring about her account always being wrong. lurking.	Lurking (218)

You poor bugger having to deal with Vodafone. :crying I couldn’t even give them 1:10 for my time with them. :groan:	B.M. (505)

No complicated anything.....so good for newbies or the IT challenged. I'd say even my mum would be able to follow it. So far so good, just to see how it is after connected.	piroska (17583)

If its just straight BB then of course you either have to use Freeview or one of the other subscription services for more content. I'll stick with Vodafone thanks :) Works fine, has the TV x2, unlimited internet at an average of 700+ Mbps, Phones (VOIP) and a list to long to remember ;) of extras, all for $162 / month. What MANY don't know is Vodafone was sold a while back, and the service is generally better now. Last few times I have had to call them for customers (only once for myself when we changed the Phones) they have answered with in 2-3 rings. There's a "trick" to making sure things get done - Write down the persons name you are talking to and make sure they know it - as I said one time " if this isn't sorted as discussed we know who to blame" :D	wainuitech (129)

1477348	2021-05-26 00:48:00	Have to get you "fellas'" to sort out our lady over the road, doesn't have a computer, but, we think her family had bought her one of those smart phones, which apparently does mimic a computer. She turned 80 over the weekend and has never had anything to do with modern technology. Can't blame her in the least, but she could sure use a sewing machine in her day. lurking.	Lurking (218)
1477349	2021-05-26 21:46:00	The lady may not care, my mum doesn't. She has got a tablet, mainly for her church stuff and uses it to read stuff or watch a video, with help usually as she tends to press it like she's hammering nails. Seven Sharp last night was going on about the death of landlines, not copper, by 2024. Husband would have been horrified, for an ex-Telecom person he was a bit of a luddite. But yeah, who needs it anymore, it's just a scammer device. I'm sure my mum could ring people on an old school cellphone OK.	piroska (17583)
1477350	2021-05-26 23:21:00	But yeah, who needs it anymore, it's just a scammer device Businesses use them . The price of using a phone, VOIP, is way cheaper than a mobile that can be misplaced etc . And whose going to pay for them ?? The price of mobiles is ridiculous . The price of calls / Plans will HAVE to drop as well, there's many people who wont call a mobile as its to expensive . What about places that don't have mobile coverage ?? Still plenty of those areas about .	wainuitech (129)
