Hi

Does anything in http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Vodafone-Sure-Signal/Troubleshooting-Please-read-before-posting/td-p/... help.

You may need call Customer service on 191 for help if the power leads etc are ok.

Edit : A similar thread with information in.

Does this indicate an ISP issue?

 

Thanks

I've requested for an update to be sent to your Sure Signal.

 

Please leave it for 24 hours, then restart your phones when in range of the Sure Signal.

Hi, I called 191 and as there were no lights and I have had this for just over 2 years. I was told to just purchase a new one. Dissapointing really seeing as no offer was made and I would just have to fork out £100, now that I'm left with very little or mostly no signal in my house

Depending on which version of the SureSignal you have, it could indicate that there is an issue with the power supply.  If you have a version 1 or version 2 - try it with a different power supply.

I am not sure what offer you would want.  The device is no longer under warranty and therefore, you'd need to buy a new one.

That is of course your prerogative to move networks.

Especially if a person not locked into a contract so no cancellation fee is applicable or are on a payg account.

Tip

Before you commit to a new Monthly Contract with another Network may I first suggest that you acquire PAYG Sim Cards from the ones your interested in to test out the strength of their signal and Data Speeds where you Live, Commute and Work.

PAYG Sim Cards are usually available free from the Network HomePages and from their HighStreet Stores as well as the £1 shop outlets.

If your current phone is locked to the a Network stopping you using other PAYG Sim Cards you can request for the handset to be Unlocked. If you need further assistance and Links on how to accomplish this then please let us know.
