Wow only now do I realize just how shit Bell's network really is.

Trying to port my number from #VirginMobile to #48.ie is proving a nightmare, requiring several phone calls to Virgin each of which involves spending *at least* half an hour on hold… 😰

Y después de 4 dias recibiendo avisos de HOY LLEGA, por fin esta aqui la buscada tarjeta de modem #WWAN para mi #DELL.

Anoche la instalé. No fue fácil porque mis ojos tuvieron problemas para conectar esos pequeños cablecitos de la antena (la edad, eda?). No hubo necesidad de descargar ni instalar nada. La DELL la reconoció a la primera.

Le puse un #SIM de #VirginMobile (que usa la red de Movistar) y les confirmo que ya esta operando perfectamente. Yeiii!

Canadian Phone Companies better Get With EU.

The #US is clueless if they think #Canada will drown without them. Big #Canadian businesses buy from and collab with them because we are loyal to our #allies...

I am disappointed with the #DeceptivePatterns which subscription based businesses often use. Just got off the phone with #VirginMobile where I cancelled my Internet in May. Least I thought I did...

Forcing users to start or cancel contracts over the phone puts all the power with the vendor. I have no record of what they do, or what records they keep (or fail to).

Without a clear paper trail, I cannot track the wasted hours spent trying to cancel a service I no longer am using.

@jeder
Akurat z tego co wiem to roaming jest wyliczany na podstawie ceny, dlatego np. #Mini3 za 3zł w #VirginMobile ma w PL 300MB, a w Unii paradoksalnie więcej

Lecz nadal słabo że we Flexie nie dadzą więcej bo mogliby

Cell phone is going off the hook with unknown numbers today. I don't answer but it's still driving me around the bend!

Well done #BT for making things worse.

The £1.50 price rise each year will be arguably more expensive for users on cheaper contracts. My original
#VirginMobile plan in August 2018 was 2GB for £5 and #VMO2 charges a price rise of 3.9%+RPI which is more expensive than other operators. In that time, I have not switched contracts and my bill is now £7.38 for unlimited when the #O2 app eventually updates it. That's less than £2.50 in a 5 year period. Absolute scam imo.

We're moving away from % figures and CPI-linked changes for our monthly plans to provide certainty for our customers.

Just out of interest, for anyone who isn't on #O2 (UK), do you get a #VirginMobile entry? Seems to be similar strength to #EE.

I'm just interested, since I'm fairly sure this shouldn't be happening on my new O2 5G SIM (I swapped recently from a Virgin Mobile (on EE) 4G SIM. I'm convinced something didn't go right with the SIM swap, since my number doesn't show on the SIM etc, networks except Vodafone do not appear as forbidden.
