Vodafone Australia - Browser Advice

[Smacky_Wolf]

Hey Anthony,

I've noted this with VF before. Basically, without emulating and running IE,
you aren't getting in. I think there's a few little plugins for Firefox that
might do this, but due to lazy web design, they have basically decided that
anyone not running Windows is not worth their time.

Vodafone are famous for being incompetent and useless. Don't bother trying
to call them, they'll just tell you to call your manufacturer.

Try using CrossOverOffice or something like that to run IE if you don't have
a windows install. Not much else you can do.

Smacky. (Resident VF hater.)
