How long have you been with Vodafone ?

I was chatting to the sales guy today whist he was ordering me IPad 2 and asked him when I first joined Voafone.  He checked the records and said I had joined them in 2000.  I cant really believe I have been with Vodafone 11 years already . There have been good times and more recently not such good times with Vodafone. Will I still be with Vodafone in another 11 years ? well unless they start to improve their coverage properly not. Back on to topic. How long have you been a Vodafone customer and will you stay with them ?

Re: How long have you been with Vodafone ?

It'll be five years in May for me- I joined Vodafone as a customer as I joined as a member of staff.

If I do ever go anywhere else in terms of work I'm not sure I'd leave the network as well- I used to be led by which phones were available on each network and Vodafone always have a selection which suits me now.

Apart from a year with Cellnet and one with Orange, and a couple of months with one2one I've been there since 1989. And the works phone has been there permenantly since 1990.

 

Is very likely to come to an end soon though.

I remember being with BTCellnet around about 1999 (on a really early Motorola brick phone) - spent a bit of time on Orange before moving to Vodafone around about 2003

Re: How long have you been with Vodafone ?

My first phone was a Phillips which had a huge SIM card, it was before the small SIM cards which are now used were introduced. 

 

When I got the Phillips brick Vodafone were considered to be the best network with the best coverage, although Orange and BT Cellnet were improving their coverage.

 

I have been with Vodafone since those then, quite a few years.

6 months on contract, no issues, any problems I have had could be solved by myself or I could talk customer services through the process (if they didn't know). Can't see myself changing :-)

Re: How long have you been with Vodafone ?

 i have been on a contract for over 8 years, PAYG for about 3 years before that.. the only time i have really called them over the last few years is when i wanted to upgrade my phone, but now have the sense over the last 3-4 years to realise that i can do all of that online and save myself a phone call!:smileysurprised:

Re: How long have you been with Vodafone ?

About 5 years I think  - I say "about" because Vodafone bought out my previous provider and I can't remember the year.  Never really had a problem in that time.  OK my most recent upgrade was a bit of a mare - cheap plan, therefore limited affordable handsets - and I'd rather not have been forced into longer contracts, but both those things would probably have happened with any other network too !
