Minnie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 For a couple of weeks now I've been getting texts but they have funny symbols in the middle of some of the words. It's not every text just the odd one or two. Anyone else having a similar problem or is it to do with my mobile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Up until today I hadn't, but today I got a text from someone where the last three letters of a word were bizarre symbols - not even English characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yep, that's what I'm getting. I can mostly work out what the word is but last week I got one text which was completely symbols. Will call into MT tomorrow and see what they suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Smith Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I know MT have been having problems with with their mobile phone and broadband systems so that might explain it. Apparently they're switching over to a new 'something or other involving a technical term'. I would still go and see them though, might get something knocked off the bill or some credit !!

Will someone PLEASE explain why they have a shit network. I have had a mobile since 1995 and apart from maybe a handfull of times for no more than an hour the network has been unavailable. However it a very different story in the UK where the vodaphone handset I had was going off at least once a month. Now that was truly shite and worty of calling shite.
