I do like Vodafone again... I called up today to ask why I couldnt get through to Alaska recently, and while we were waiting for a technician to run some tests I mentioned that it was incredibly frustrating to not be able to call my Alaskan boyfriend. Vodafone lady said "Oh! it must be terrible being so far away, we cant have you unable to call, hang on I'll put you through to a senior technician who should be able to resolve this..."

Half an hour later the technician called me back to say that I was the only person on the network who called Alaska regularly, so he'd changed the routing of Alaska numbers to use one of their better carriers, and that he hoped I had a great time at christmas!

I assume you're concerned about the constabulary rather than simple embarrassment?

No no no, not *that* sort of phone call. Someone might see me using a public appliance! It would be so much worse even than that time I was waiting for james to bring the car around, standing too close to a bus stop, and a friend saw me and thought I was waiting for an omnibus!

oh the shame.
