pongo Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Down Niarbyl you can't get a Manx Telecom signal, but you can usually pickup UK/Irish networks. Can you actually make or receive a call from there using those networks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried tbh, just did the select network search having lost local contact and it came up with about seven other networks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 why would you want to use O2 just for 5mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 off thread: o2 (and I think Vodafone) are currently testing femtocell / microcell technology in the UK. A femtocell is basically a small cellular base station (for the retail domestic market) about the size of a router which connects to the carrier network via broadband to create coverage over a few hundred metres. Typical use might be if you live in a dip but want to be able to use your phone. Imagine if these caught on over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
