   Are any of you having trouble texting vodafone mobiles?
 My sis and I are both having issues with the messages not sending and I'm wondering if there is a problem with their network or if we're just lucky    |

   Me and my friend sometimes have this and it is so annoying. I think it happens when the so many people are texting at the same time and the server goes crazy.

   YES! I'm so glad to hear that, well not really but you get what I mean.. I was just about to take my phone in to get looked at. I keep getting error messages saying sending failed and my mum says she has sent me messages but they never arrive! she has vodafone, I have telecom.
 I just have to say that telecom suck and the only reason I'm with them is for $10 text, I've always had heaps of problems with them, and they are never much help.

   I recently switched from vodafone and never had issues sending to telecom from that phone which makes me think that maybe vodafone's network is superior?
I've emailed them about it, I wonder how long it will take to get a response.

   I have one of each and have problems with both at times I come to the conclusion that on busy days they give telecom to telecom txts higher priority same with vodaphone.  I still reckon they are very equal companies

   I have both    and I have to say that they are much of a muchness in terms of customer service. Vodafone were down for 2 days over NY with no explanation other than overloading, yet Telecom managed to function. But I can send PXt from my vodafone when roaming and not my Telecom.
 Both suck IMHO  -they could do with some competition to improve services and drive prices down like in Australia

 "Dear Melanie

   I dont have problems with texting vodafone but sometimes I dont get messages form my friends who are vodafone.
But I ofund when I was on vodafone before I switched to telecom that sometimes messages from my vodafone to another vodafone would take anywhere from instantly up to 5dyas to arrive to the other phone.
 I always wondered why people used to send me messages telling me I was a snob when I was actually texting them. It used to frustrate me.
 I changed to telecom for the coverage more so than anything else, becuase in Queenstown/ Arrowtown I used to always lose reception with vodafone, and had never had issues with telecom til I mvoed to Wellington.
