Hi SaligaoNetters, Hope all is well! Hey Rico, Sonarbhat is not the only vaddo having power problems but then as you rightly said, one needs to get the message across. The other vaddos must be having same problems. Everytime I call home, Fiona & Mum are either grumbling about there being no power for hours on end, or about having power for an hour & then none for 4 hours & so on, so much so they no longer keep items in the freezer. OR they complain that their phone isnt working despite changing it twice & of course the time taken up to make a large number of complaints. They dont have internet so that is one headache less for them. I have a problem contacting them since mobiles dont always work indoors (after all we are in the "dark continent" - Donvaddo) though IDEA is definitely better than BSNL with regard to "range". Ciao Regards Annette
