the mo beats experience Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I blame the government, its a fucking shambles, outrageous. They should've cancelled the TT, they knew we all wanted to vote for Sam this weekend and they let all these bloody foriegners over to clog up the phone lines.

Alias Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'm in the UK at the mo, and my phone was having problems taking calls from UK numbers. Even tho I'm logged on to O2, does it still do stuff via the Island? Yes, generally all roaming stuff works this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 3G seems to be the way to go, mine has been fine all day, even video calls! is a little daft of mt to be pushing sims on the radio for visitors and making the problem worse when the same thing happens every year.

Mission Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 More to the point, you'd think that if they encountered a problem one year, they'd make sure it didn't happen the next. It's not like they don't know there'll be a surge in demand at this time of the year now, is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebrof Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 More to the point, you'd think that if they encountered a problem one year, they'd make sure it didn't happen the next. It's not like they don't know there'll be a surge in demand at this time of the year now, is it. The obvious solution, especially for the taxi firm, is to buy a second mobile from Tesco for fifteen quid as a back-up, and put a C&W Pay as you Go SIM in it. Manx Telecom simply isn't reliable. This is the problem when firms like MT (not to mention the Racket) are foreign-owned. The IOM is just not on the radar. Isn't it telling that it's the foreign-owned firms that tend to call themselves Manx this or IOM that? Devious sleazeballs attemting to pass themselves off as local.

BigDave Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'm told when the new exchange comes on line it'll make a big difference to the capacity problems. It's not like they haven't been investing in the infrastructure. Not that it helps this TT week, but it's not a problem that's being ignored.
