OH and I both have Orange phones. His cost £10.00 (with a £5.00 balance already on) mine over £100.00. We can sit in the same room, he will get a signal and I will get nought!!!!

Modern technology pah!!!!! :-P

We live in a black hole, as far as mobile reception is concerned.

OH's mobile has no reception at all in our house, he has to walk up the street to get any signal at all. We often see neighbours & visitors wandering the street!

It's normal to get no text messages...... then 20 come in at once, some of them a few days old.

Wondering if the sunspots will shock the airwaves and improve our service lol

OHs phone is donkeys years old. Mine is about 2 years old.

His is a trusty Nokia, able to withstand knocks and drops etc.

Mine is an HTC Wildfire - a not too Smart phone!!!

I first had a mobile phone when they were the size of a brick, I had less problems with that than I have with my current phone - I suppose that's down to what they call progress ;-)

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Really odd.

Picked up daughters text at 3.45pm, replied straight away. 4.10pm get a text from the bank, balance update.

4.40pm daughter lets herself in, goes mad at me for not having mobile on & not answering home phone. Been ringing since 4pm, hearing home phone ring & going to answer phone, phoned hubby to ring me same result.

no ringing phones here.

Hubby rang me half hour ago,again, phone rang & I answered.

then I read this thread... :-0
