Help: I think I'm turning Vodafone

In the tune to the immortal ‘Turning Japanese’:

I’m turning Vodafone I think I’m turning Vodafone I really think so
Turning Vodafone I think I’m turning Vodafone I really think so
I’m turning Vodafone I think I’m turning Vodafone I really think so
Turning Vodafone I think I’m turning Vodafone I really think so

Here’s the issue. TWICE today I’ve been cut off.

First: I was hurrying through Soho on the phone wondering whether to pop into see the guys at Sonus PR unannounced or get to my other meeting on time. In the end, I thought I should focus on the calendar and time. As I walked into Soho Square, my conversation suddenly stopped. I looked at the phone and it just said ‘connection error’.

I redialed, everything was fine. I carried on talking.

Second Issue: It happened again, this evening. I was sat talking away and all of a sudden the handset just disconnected. Same error.

Third Issue: People try calling me but, despite the handset being connected and send/receiving internet traffic, the calls are diverted. I have to switch off the handset and switch it on again to get it to poll the network. Likewise, trying to send a text message is impossible until I restart.

I’m thinking it’s a T-Mobile issue. Not an E61 issue. I mean it could be the handset, couldn’t it?

Anyway, I hung around in the Vodafone store at Liverpool Street today pondering.

£40 for ‘unlimited’ data each month. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Could get their USB modem. Would be damn useful for the Apple when I’m in werid hotels with no internet service. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Could I actually get a Vodafone deal at say 60 a month, add a 40 quid unlimited price plan………….. and that would more or less equal what I blow on T-Mobile most months…………..

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Thoughts? Do I need to be HEAVILY sedated?
