...get off the bloody phone - you're clogging up the network. I've been trying to get hold of my voicemail all morning and all I get is "no network coverage".

Same happened yesterday - and the day before that. It's not funny. Especially since anyone who tries to call gets put straight through to voicemail. And, guess what, it costs me money to retrieve the messages.

That is if I can find a window when the network isn't busy. Perhaps mobile phone operators should start synchronising when people can and can't use the phone.

Oh, and Orange. If you think I'm going to subscribe to your share offer when this garbage is going on, you are mistaken.

Surely, you're facing mounting compensation pay-outs because your customers are paying for a service they can't use.

Or are you merely a victim of your popularity? ®
