| 795627 | 2009-07-27 06:38:00 | I just looked at my phone a couple of minutes ago, and I noticed that the usual 'vodafone NZ' had been replaced by the text 'Emergency'. I restarted it, and it reverted to the usual vodafone NZ, but I'm pretty sure it was the network. I'm running off the chch central tower at the moment. Did anyone else see this? Or is it just me? |

| 795628 | 2009-07-27 09:35:00 | Maybe they have a dedicated cell network and bandwidth for emergency services. I know on Telecom when dialing 111 it locks the phone into emergency mode which leaves it still broadcasting until you restart the phone. | Vecaren (14444) | ||
| 795629 | 2009-07-28 06:12:00 | That wouldn't explain it though - how did I get onto the emergency network? I haven't dialed 111 on this phone. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 795630 | 2009-07-28 06:56:00 | I thought they were removing the broadcast name feature. I don't think XT transmitters transmit the locations name. | robbyp (2751) | ||
| 795631 | 2009-07-28 07:05:00 | Nah, it wasn't the tower name (my phone doesn't display that anyway). It was the network name that had changed. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 795632 | 2009-07-28 07:39:00 | I thought they were removing the broadcast name feature. I don't think XT transmitters transmit the locations name. It's odd, mine said it ("Brooklyn") the first time I turned on the phone and never again... |
