Next year: Vodafone brings 4G network to the moon

Guys, if your phone is set to allow switching networks automatically, you better keep an eye on it so that it doesn't switch by accident to the moon carrier on full moon nights. I hear the roaming costs are quite high.

 

Sky-High in fact.

 

Boy, the first guy to use that has to have a horrible expensive mobile plan

 

That is super cool. I can certainly see cellular comms being useful for moon ops, and could probably be linked to earthside comms easily enough (as easily as anything is done in space, that is). I am really excited by all this interest in returning to the moon.

 

Aliens will cold-call you at 3 in the morning.

 

Another thought: now you can't even escape the telemarketers in space?

 

Would be a bit of a pain having to take your gloves off every time you need to use your phone IMO.

 

So there will be another 1.3sec delay if I try to connect with someone on moon...
Well, there is nobody of my friends there, yet...

 

I think vodafone fails in every segment of network,here in hungary atleast after a year i quit using their network cause there is like nowhere reception. I heard rumors when they come to hungary they rent Antennas from other 2 providers,and when they get own they fail so hard... Like you got reception than same position your smartphone lose internet like nothing... They advertise full coverage, i see only low coverage. So kinda they should burry themselfs.

 

4G network on the moon.... sounds out of this world.

*prepares noose*

 

Hey if it's anything like the 4G I'm getting it's gonna take a year to load one text message

 

Hey Vodafone, how about you focus on earth first. Where I live I can’t even get 3G, let alone 4.....

if they charge nasa the same they charge people in earth for data ..... then they will blow Nasa Budget with in few days !
