Why not just put it on this thread ?
Then whoever wants to book a cab can do so anytime they want.
Cheers

You are either a time-waster or have some other motive to persist in this way. You are not prepared to say who you are or what you really want.
So please if you are ever in this area don't bother calling us.

Sorry I am not sure I quite understood what you meant.

Are you saying you wouldn't put the telephone number of a cab office on this forum just incase someone phoned it up and actually booked a cab?

Why would anyone want to search a trade forum for a Taxo company telephone number? basically either to disrupt the said forum or because they basically have no brains and need a lesson on how to use the internet.
Basic lesson for the finding Taxi companies in your area.
Go to any search engine and type in taxis+(your area) please substitute (your area) for the area in which you would like to find Taxi companies.
If you cannot understand the above lesson please let us know and I will supply pictures for you

You obviously have not read the thread totally.

I wanted a ride in a cab that was using the Cordic system.
I did not want this to be a demo I actually wanted to see a realistic representation of it in action.

So far I have had nothing but negativity regarding this, all I wanted to do was see it from the passengers point of view. I don't want a demo. I just want to see it in action.

It surely begs the question.. Is it possible to see this system in action or is it only being used for demonstrations?


I will repeat my offer because I forgot to login. We are using the Cordic system and are very happy with it, we do not do demo's but are happy to show it to anyone that is genuinely interested.

Hello,
I have a customer how has just installed the Cordic system for his some of his specilist vehicles and he is certainly pleased with it. Seems too work fine but I wonder what the speed of it will be like in peek times? GPRS has been slated in the trade magazines (radio ones) with regards slow connections/lost connections etc due to voice calls and text messages taking priority over GPRS.

But apart from that the booking side looks neat, the street search is quick and mapping not bad at all. I do like Tom Tom navigator software and was pleased to see that the PDAs had that installed.

So not a bad product at all for someone who has an application for it.

regards
Radioman

What rubbish, if you are going to slag off a system a least be honest.
"specialist vehicles" why are you trying to imply that the Cordic Sytem is only for specialist applications. You are just trying to sow seeds of doubt.
The speed of customer calling to the taxi accepting the booking details is faster than any radio system could hope to be on their best day. The only limit is the typing speed of the operator.
You must be destperate if you need to resort to this underhand way of discrediting your competition. Obviously nothing you have can stand up to head to head comparisons.

Radioman, soon to be historyman.

I dont see whats rubbish about it at all. Yes the customer has specialist vehicles. He operates a taxi fleet with around 100 vehicles on the Auriga data system and has now just opened up a chauffeur company at a local airport, these are the vehciles that he has installed the Cordic system into.



You are just trying to sow seeds of doubt.

Well if thats the case then I will gladly give you the name and telephone number of the person who has bought the system and he will tell you what he thinks of it and what I think of it. Like I said is a good application for what he is doing i.e. running 8 chauffeur vehicles on it rather than install them with the Auriga system.


The speed of customer calling to the taxi accepting the booking details is faster than any radio system could hope to be on their best day.

Not true at all. There are KNOWN problems with GPRS and the speed at which the connection can be made and data sent. I will gladly get you a back issue of "Land Mobile" which is the communications industry main publication which went into great detail about GPRS and also 3G technology and problems associated with it.

The only limit is the typing speed of the operator.

Yet again not true. There are limits on ALL systems.

You must be destperate if you need to resort to this underhand way of discrediting your competition. Obviously nothing you have can stand up to head to head comparisons.

Competition?



Well it seems that you have gotten the wrong end of the stick and think that I am slagging the Cordic system off, when in fact I am not. My customer is more than happy with the system. The installtion was good, the software looks good and the coverage will certainly be a lot better than standard radio due to the fact that you are using a mobile phone network.

I pointed out problems with GPRS and not with Cordic. Dont be so blinkered and read my post again about what I have said. Next time dont be so quick too jump down someones throats before you get all your facts right.

regards
Radioman

Radioman.

Why dont you tell us who you work for or what company you represent.
You never know some-one may want to deal with an honest sales person or really need a "consultant".
Why hide behind "Radioman"? Do you wear a grey business suit by day and then rush to a phonebox to change into "Radioman" when you see a confused taxi driver so that you can fly to his aid with your pearls of wisdom and your underpants on the outside of your trousers, like a true super hero.

This section of the Forum has no value as a discussion group as it is cluttered by Trade Suppliers bitching at each other and advertising posted to look like genuine comments.
Please don't bother to send me any further private messages or even post a reply to this, I have no interest in anything you have to say on any topic.

Wow. Some are really on the defensive.

Wish we could get more suppliers on here.

Radioman sounds like he worked for a leading Computer system supplier.

Dare I guess he has extensive experience in running a decent sized taxi company.

If it is who I think it is, he is always good value, has a fresh perspective.

Hang in here Radioman, some might learn something. Guess you aren't keen to take Diplomat Stewart up on the offer.

I did see in PHM that Exel said they are the biggest supplier of radio data systems. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Is that a bit missleading?
