"This is a joke"

“Phone calls only work in the attic”

"Hello, is anyone there?" Many Adnet residents no longer have reception on their cell phones - including village chief Auer. (center of picture).

No reception, lots of trouble! Adnet has been experiencing massive disruptions in the cell phone network for several days. This is because operator A1 has dismantled its transmitter. The residents are up in arms and the company is promising improvements. The solution to all the problems? A truck. . . 

"We've never been famous for our cell phone reception. But this is really the height." Eva Wögerbauer expresses what many Adnet residents are thinking. For almost two weeks now, hundreds of cell phones in the tranquil Tennengau community have stopped working - at least those that use the A1 cell phone network. The company has dismantled its transmitter. "It's a joke, we're simply no longer reachable," says an annoyed Wögerbauer.
