Re: Femtocells - Page 6

Hi guys,

I live in a fairly rural part of the UK and although the area is supposed to have O2 coverage, it is in fact pretty dire here. I am tied onto o2 for another 13 months with my iPhone and unless something is done by o2 to sort the signal out I will be voting with my feet next June.
Last year o2 & vodafone trialled 'Femtocell' technology. This is an internet based plug in tx/rx device which is stand alone and provides internet based mobile phone coverage inside buildings where there is insufficient signal from normal sources. Vodafone have embraced it and people are now getting the full benefit of full 3G phone signal in their homes/offices.
Where is the o2 version?
I know I'm a little bitter having been a Vodafone customer for many years, leaving just before they announced that they were getting iPhone, but surely o2 are embracing this technology as the o2 signal outside major towns everywhere appears to be generally poorer than my previous provider.
Does anyone have any thought on this and does anyone know if there are any plans for Femtocell technology to appear on the o2 books in the near future?

Can anyone provide an update on when/if they will be generally available for the O2 network? I too need one. I've a number of colleagues who have the Vodafone offering and they swear by it. Thx.

There's nothing been announced about a release date, or even (initial)results of the trial yet.

I've still heard nothing since I was last told it will be soon. I wonder if they are having problems with the new units or something.

Keep bringing this one up.
Any news yet?

The trial's being extended across more people. So depends what you read into this...

Just called O2, they told me the trail is only available to Business customers and that there is no plans for release anytime soon.

I am lead to believe that O2 are trialling femtocells . :womanindifferent:
Does anyone have any new up to date information as signal in London N2 is really very poor indeed. :robotsurprised:
I am a business trying not to call people back on my landline to others mobiles as my mobile signal breaks down so quickly.
Customer services know little except that perhaps a trial for those with 10 or more handsets on their account is the prerequisite
Ho hum

Thanks Adamtemp64
Any ideas how to get hold of Richard Porter, O2's head of consumer mobile products or get on the darn trial?
My lack of signal is upsetting and the whole area I am in is totally ripe for a trial!
Cheers
