hawkdeira · **Trip report - Iceland -** 09-04-2007, 22:02

I was in Reykjavik for a week before Easter and could not get Riiing to work at all (although it is a country for which they list coverage). Although the request for a call seemed to go off to Siminn no call back was ever received. This happened at least six times.

The other Icelandic network (Og Vodafone) would not even accept the call request and gave error message "call barred".

In contrast my colleague (using MyCherryMobile, a Manx rebrand) had little trouble using Siminn, 95% success on calls first time and 90% success on texts first time.
