Network Error
Is it just me or has the Fastlink network been really suffering since Zain took over? I mean, it’s unbelievable how often it happens that people call while my phone has no clue that anybody is calling. It takes several tries to get a hang of the network while it displays “network error”, and often, the network is just too busy to take your calls.
I never had such issues before, but they’re becoming more and more of an issue as each week passes.
Anyone having similar problems?

The network has been terrible lately, but Fastlink turning into Zain was a re-branding and not a new company taking over. The mother company, MTC, had taken over three or four years ago if I’m not mistaken.
I think the reason the network is crappy lately is because all the good engineers are leaving and seeking better jobs at the new telecom operators in Egypt and the Gulf. The turnover in engineering departments is relatively high.

It is not just you! I m facing the same problem as well! Can’t make a decent call lately! The voice keep on disappearing! I was talking to a friend of mine about it the other day, she was thinking that it is her phone the problem, and I was thinking it is my phone! It is obviously the network!!!

ditto Fadi.
The question is, are the other networks better?

i think that the reason is that zen made these two offers recently, Zen kol and the other one illy feeh 5 arqam super? that must have lured a lot of people to go back to zen and leave their umniah and mobilecom lines. or get an additioanl zen one. so maybe the over load of numbers of participants is leading to that kind of problems?
maybe!

I have always liked Mobilecom better. I mean When ever I am in Jordan, I always liked to use it over Zain or Umniah
