I had a series of mails in today from an apoplectic Three UK user. He’s a good friend and I regularly go-on about Three to him whilst he’s patiently gritted his teeth. He’s a reluctant fan of Three at the best of times. He phoned up Three this afternoon to change his price plan. He [...]

Why mobile operators need to have blog relations
Have a read of Mark’s post here — he’s managed to get his Slingbox working with his X-Series handset. I need to have a go at doing this. Still haven’t got round to getting a slingbox! Mark had a few technical issues which, as he explains, were resolved by Darren of the X-Series blog. Without [...]
Meeting Frank Sixt and Doug Hamilton of Three
In answer to my earlier blog post, this afternoon I was at the Hutchison HQ – ‘Hutchison House’, in Battersea. Normally I get a nosebleed if I go anywhere near south of the Thames, but I’m ok if, as you see in the picture to the right, I can still see the water Why was [...]
T-errible T-Mobile UK experience
Martin Geddes over at Telepocalypse has been having a series of bad days with T-Mobile UK. His experience is documented at his post, T-Stuck First problem: they can’t provision T-Mobile Hotspot access at the same time as the rest of the account. You need to call back after you’re a customer. Wonder how many abandoned [...]

Three UK thumbs up from Justin of BuddyPing
Justin is top dog at NinetyTen, the company behind the likes of BuddyPing. On his personal blog yesterday he waxed lyrical on Three. This is particularly exciting because Justin knows his stuff. He’s a total geek and a total mobile know-all. For him to be complimentary is excellent for Three. Says a lot. Link: The [...]
Three UK — use your inclusive minutes on 3 networks abroad
I wrote in a previous entry that I wasn’t sure if Three UK were also supporting this ‘Three at Home’ service, where you can use your inclusive minutes abroad. Well, John Burton just posted a note to say that it’s advertised right there on the Three UK homepage! I’m blind! Here’s the text from the [...]
Three X-Series – scanned in the bill
For those interested in how X-Series looks on the bill, I scanned in the relevant page. It’s rather gratifying seeing ’77′ million bytes of data and then a £0.00 next to it.
Three UK’s Mobilcast is a piece of GENIUS
Mobilcast is Three UK’s podcast-to-your-mobile service and is part of their X-Series offering. I’m extremely impressed. Mega impressed. You’ll note that this doesn’t happen often. Generally speaking, I’m left dumbstruck at some silly strategy or the like (Vodafone’s me-too on broadband, Orange’s unlimited data, but only at 2am on a third Tuesday of each month, [...]
