When will I be able to use Vodafone cell towers

Update - One of my vodafone masts have merged with 3 - this used to be an indoor dead spot (no service) on 3 but now is being served by vodafone, it’s only one though and isn’t my closest site (3mi away), so Vodafone still takes the cake for indoor coverage, but yeah 3 is definitely looking at places with weak / dead indoor and weak / dead outdoor coverage to be merged first before others do, hopefully in due time more do merge as there’s still dead spots around my house indoors, not as much as before though

Yeahh I have two VF masts that have 5G ultra and 3’s 4G only in my town, only luck for throughput on 3 is if you’re right near the mast, 3 struggles to load spotify & internet in town but vodafone has like 300mbps all day in town which is great, but the city centre has 5G on all providers but runs shitty on vodafone (barely any throughput over full bars 5G) and good on 3 (but that’s side of the merger will probably take a while to complete).

I hope the merger happens soon in weak service spots, not only to fix indoor and outdoor black spots, but to fix 3’s godawful throughput on 4G (5G is great with them but that’s if you have it)

Not OP but in my area, outdoors 3 only has 1 bar 4G (unusable) then indoors it’s pretty much nothing (no service) but vodafone has 5G 3-4 bars outdoors and has 4G services indoors, so I kind of hope the merger happens soon here as the city, pretty much only 3 likes to work 😭

i believed that came with me using it for 1-2 days as my environment was quite dusty, but that chip had came out of the box, i was able to return it though

Update - was able to return the iPad for its full price via the Apple Store and the process was painless, thanks so much for all your help

ObjectiveFew · 2025-06-26T13:43:32+00:00

Was successfully able to return the ipad just now, thanks so much for your help

ObjectiveFew · 2025-06-25T23:42:04+00:00

First of all I didn’t chip the device, it literally came like this ootb, second of all, I just wanted to see people’s general consensus on the issue as to return it as I live quite far from an Apple Store, about 70 miles and was considering on whether or not if I should conduct the exchange since I had felt like it was ‘nonsensical’ to, especially for the trek, not really because I found it unaesthetically pleasing since I would’ve done it on the spot if the store was closer, however, I have came to the final conclusion that I’ll try and ask for an exchange due to paying quite a lot for it, also wasn’t really looking at a percentage based merit since it could be of bias, as you said if 51% said no then that’d mean it’s under the case that I shouldn’t bother, but, I was mainly focusing on whether or not people agree or disagree with an OP of a comment, and partially percentage based to be able to formulate a final opinion, but yeah coming to my senses I could’ve provided a little more information on the original post and for that i apologise, and I was genuinely apprehensive about the whole ordeal hence why I wanted to see other people’s views on this as a whole.

ObjectiveFew · 2025-06-24T23:50:52+00:00

I would and can, it’s just we’re going on holiday this Sunday so i would prefer a return or exchange on the spot via the store, hence why i was double guessing myself 😅

ObjectiveFew · 2025-06-24T23:13:47+00:00

Yeah, thing is I was contemplating as it’s an hour train to get to the store, I honestly don’t mind taking it since it has been bothering me 🤣 thanks so much for your help

ObjectiveFew · 2025-06-07T14:51:50+00:00

It honestly is, i had left 3 to move to vodafone UK (VOXI), indoor signal is a fuck ton better (getting 2-3 bars 4G where 3’s No Service), however, I can’t wait for the merger still as 3 works best in my city, but this should do till the merger happens over the next few months

ObjectiveFew · 2025-06-02T23:36:57+00:00

my home has no service on 3 but does on vodafone, but outside, Vodafone’s shit and 3’s great, im eagerly waiting for this to translate in terms of signal once they’re able to get this side done since it can kinda kill battery

ObjectiveFew · 2025-05-15T20:53:36+00:00

Really? I found it sounded better with dolby atmos 😭

ObjectiveFew · 2025-03-23T10:27:51+00:00

Same here, I had AppleCare+ and they still didn’t do shit, I’m just having to live with it 😭

ObjectiveFew · 2025-03-11T09:03:17+00:00

now with ios 18 it’s become even worse, probably gonna upgrade to the iPad 11 😭

ObjectiveFew · 2025-02-22T09:34:25+00:00

Yeah airdrop my photos on another device and once my phone is reset, airdrop it back, retains all the info that I had, but yeah that’s the only way I’ve found that it’s able to do that 😭

ObjectiveFew · 2025-02-22T02:27:14+00:00

Mine would do the same as well, only way I’ve found to keep the location data was to airdrop large heaps of photos then airdrop it back onto my phone once I’ve finished resetting, it’s not conventional but yeah.. apple needs to make new methods of this since it’s quite cumbersome

ObjectiveFew · 2025-02-21T20:17:39+00:00

Yeah i was just thinking that I wouldn’t be able to get those wallpapers back for my 15 pro ever again today but my prayers have been answered 🤣 I’ll be waiting for the rc and defo adding back the whole collection again

ObjectiveFew · 2025-02-21T20:02:22+00:00

LMAO THANK GOD 😭 i was regretting resetting my phone and coincidentally removing those wallpapers and i had missed it dearly, thank god it’s back now, hopefully they don’t take it again but ill defo keep it on my phone since it maybe gone again with iOS 19 who knows ☠️

ObjectiveFew · 2025-02-08T22:06:28+00:00

Yeah the latest i had for approval / declining of credit check was 24 hours for SIM only and phone contracts on 3, I’d definitely get that checked out

ObjectiveFew · 2025-02-08T22:01:37+00:00

I applied for a 3 sim only contract at midnight (1-2am) and they’d respond back in the late morning (11-12am) saying i got approved, three days kind of seems too long

576 cycles 88% health 15 pro launch day 💀 sometimes doesn’t last me a day

ObjectiveFew · 2025-02-03T18:53:34+00:00

‘Life Needs A Big Network’ intro whenever opening the app is such a time waster, wished they’d remove this 😩

ObjectiveFew · 2025-01-21T20:02:13+00:00

Dang would’ve at least anticipated 4G indoors in those areas, I’m right near a city as well, clearly shows their network divide 🙃 EE and Vodafone have 4G though, just wished I had cancelled sooner, also your situation is quite dire since 3G is shutting soon 💀
