Re: If a mobile has no/poor reception would the person phoning it hear a ringing signal?

Thus spaketh admyc@xxxxxxxxxxx:
Hi, I have a slightly techie question re. mobile phones. If I am
trying to phone someone who is on the O2 network and they are in an
area that is out of range of the base stations or whatever the
correct term is, then would I hear a ringing tone on my phone or
would I get a message saying something like "not able to connect you"
etc.?

Any info on this gratefully received

A

When out of signal area you will get "...phone currently unavailable" if after being out of signal for about 20mins or more it will say "...phone switched off", even if phone isn't switched off.

Vodafone give slightly different messages.
