Pete/ Paul/Nick,

=20

Many thanks for your replies

=20

I thought it strange with no line, I remember previously they
didn=E2=80=99=
t have access to BT exchange to put their kit in (or something like that).

=20

I have taken up Pete=E2=80=99s advice and purchased a unit to play with. I
=
am going to try a cheap Sagem unit initially from UK (I got burnt on my
las=
t import with tax/duty/admin costs) , if can=E2=80=99t get signal, then I=
=E2=80=99ll try a chinese one.

=20

When I saw Pete=E2=80=99s email, I remembered discussions from years ago
on=
this very topic relating to holiday home, not sure if it was on ukha or Co=
mfort forum.=20

=20

=20

Thanks for all advice and reminder

=20

One day SWMBO will let me update to  Comfort II, but 17 years still going
s=
trong is pretty good (hope I don=E2=80=99t jinx it)

Hi Campbell

=20

I am surprised that Virgin are offering fibre with out phone though that
is=
odd!

=20

There are of course Cytech offerings that provide mobile coverage: UCM-GSM
=
etc, however we run our holidat home phone on the mobile network and
Comfor=
t works fine with it.

=20

Originally we used an Ericsson 251m Fixed Wireless Terminal but a couple
of=
years ago I invested in a cheap Chinese version from ebay like:=20

Band-900-1800Mhz-Worldwide-/321915935631?hash=3Ditem4af3af5b8f:g:-QwAAOSwwb=
dWQAMk

=20

Which is oddly far better than the branded version. All you need is a PAYG
=
SIM and it works.  The only watchout is that mobile often gives you
voicema=
il so you need to disable that and ensure they let it ring long enough for
=
Comfort to pick up.
