O2

All mobile phones, or whatever it is they've mutated into over the years, should be lined up and shot. Man should not have to depend on a small device for what humans have been conditioned to believe we can't manage life without. Life was more enjoyable without them in my opinion.

I'd agree with that to a fair degree.

I had a really quiet day yesterday. Our company relies on O2 for all mobile telephony.
Now we do have the option of redirecting our phone numbers to a different number.
However to do that you need to use the mobile phone. So without the mobile you can't redirect in the
case of issues.
But we did loose a shed load of productivity/cancled meetings ,etc.
I'd say as an organization as a whole is may well have cost us £100,000 in lost revenue and alot of people are going to have to work late to make up in time what couldn't get done and of course all claiming overtime.

You could look in to something like Vodafone OneNet (loads of resellers out there - find a local one) or make your own similar solution from a couple of different services like redirection/VOIP providers.

I wish I were in that position. Unfortunately I'm only a minion in a massive organization.
And that his the deal they've gotton with O2.
There are worse things they've done mind....

like wise, about 18 months ago for purely cost reasons after about 8 years or so we ditched Voadclone and went to O2, thats about 5000 mobile phones worth. The drop in QOS/coverage is noticeable, very
