monadog Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Very weak to no Telcel signal here in Mirasol for many days. Most of the time the phone does not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimanjome Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Update:: Went to Telcel in the plaza today, noontime. Rep said the entire SAT area and CV is out. The problem is the tower serving this area, it is non-functioning. They have a team working on it and it should be cleared by tomorrow (translation: possibly this Friday, probably next week...maybe) Finally I am able to translate!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgreenbury Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 I've been incommunicado for a week and a half - Telecable landline went down first and now the cell won't work either. What are people supposed to do in an emergency? How many phones do we have to have? I guess we could send smoke signals but would probably burn down whatever trees are left... If the internet goes too, my business is going to tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 It is not an emergency; just an inconvenience. But it may make some think about what they will do in a true emergency, a really big one, like a major power grid failure, thousand year storm, meteor impact, war, or whatever other scenario you can imagine. There would be no power, no water, no gasoline, no groceries, no communication, and no information. Good question: "What are people supposed to do?" I don't think there is an answer in today's dependent society. Now, where did I leave that old Bic lighter? I need to cook something, or someone.

Ferret Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 If only those medical devices were available here but they too depend on wireless communication availability. You're screwed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 A friend was told via TelCel at the big office that a tower has been vandalized, on more than one occasion. No other information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barcelonaman Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Very weak signal, lots of interference in s.a.t Been like this for about two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 It's spotty. I listen to music in my car delivered by cell phone, and as I drive to my appointments, it stops and starts, stops and starts. So I know when I'm in a dead zone.

kimanjome Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 I posted elsewhere--the SAT tower 's antennae was stolen. Talked to the gentleman at TelCel last week, he said a new one has been ordered and will be here and installed in 2 weeks, mas o menos. I am thinking, mas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha1 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Still not available, cell phone or modem. Looks like that antenna is being shipped from China on a slow boat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
