A Dane in Luxembourg

I’m still very unhappy with the service from Vox here in Luxembourg. Their network coverage is not working properly. The data connection is very slow, whenever it’s EDGE, but also when you are between EDGE and 3G. Recently, whenever I’m covered by a Vox hotspot, I can’t connect to anything…
As for the phone network, it’s [...]

I hope this is good news… Hopefully, Vox and LuxGSM will be competing to provide the best service to their customers. I have not been impressed with the quality of the Vox network here in Luxembourg.

Have you considered what to do when you are out in the cold weather wearing your gloves and your iPhone rings? Well, Rob Griffiths has some good ideas :

The temperatures outside are dropping rapidly, and many of you will find your hands wrapped in thick gloves. And then suddenly, an important phone call drops [...]

I have put up a petition on petitiononline.com that will be sent to VoxMobile. If you care about the iPhone service here in Luxembourg, I encourage you to sign it.

version 2.0 is out but still only available in very few countries
Looking forward to seeing the app in the Luxembourgish iTunes Store!

So the phone is activated now, and I see that the coverage in my workplace isn’t not great. I hope that Vox is working on improving their network coverage. EDGE coverage on Kirchberg is not good enough.
And no, the HotCity wi-fi network isn’t available on Kirchberg.

Now that I have my iPhone, it is time to get involved in improving the the thing
A French site, http://www.iphoneideal.com lets you make suggestions for improvements and you can vote for suggestions made by others.
I’m sure that someone in Cupertino (maybe Bertrand Serlet ) can translate for Steve. Check it out.

Just received the news. Vox will have a launch party going on at their shop in Luxembourg City.
140 iPhones up for grabs. So youngsters, line up tonight if you want to be one of the first. No word on the data plan matrix yet, but I hope for Vox that it will be an attractive [...]
