Vodafone. Helping you browse, call and text while you get drunk

You have to question the logic behind this one. I mean, were the Vodafone executives on a country break when they decided that remote pubs should get better coverage?

If you’re on Vodafone and you don’t get much signal indoors, get yourself a Sure Signal box. After hooking into your broadband it’ll route your mobile calls over the interwebs instead. The magical little box pumps out a small mobile phone signal, so your phone hooks onto it and behaves as normal.

The photographer was obviously drunk too. This shot is on the skew.

You can, if you run one, whack one of these in a pub too. However, the Vodafone bods have decided to do this as part of their not-spot squashing campaign, and definitely not just a quick fix so that they can browse the web during their next boozy weekend.

The new Premium Sure Signal units will be installed in four rural pubs. Two in Norfolk and one each in Dyfed and Flintshire in Wales.  Customers on Vodafone will be able to make calls, browse the web and text with a nice strong signal whilst downing famous ales like Bishops Finger, Tactical Nuclear Penguin, Panty Peeler and Buttface Amber.
