Ewan posted a while ago about Yammer and that team have been playing with it. Initially we used a fair bit now interest dwindled, until a few days ago that is. Yammer have now have the ability to send updates by SMS via a UK number and also the option to receive all [...]

Anna and Will from NixonMcInnes are working with T-Mobile UK to bring them into the 21st Century.
And it’s a good job they are.
For a long time, T-Mobile have been the proverbial arse-in-the-corner, ignoring the blogosphere because it’s, well, unknown.. and filled with.. er… the great unwashed…
For any organisation accustomed to broadcasting to customers and potential [...]

After a busy day at the Symbian Smartphone Show we dashed across London to the Nokia Comes With Music launch party.
(In fact I almost bought one of their handsets today when I was passing a Carphone Warehouse on the way to Earls Court).
There was a predictable riot of good looking young things queuing round the [...]

I logged into my T-Mobile UK account this evening. Remember last week I tried to setup Direct Debit and I couldn’t, because they were busy processing direct debits ‘within 7 days’ — and as their system is so flakey, they couldn’t accept new payment info?
Well, this evening I was greeted with:

Bad news, right? [...]

That’s apparently what we’re about to find out tonight at T-Mobile, according to a highly placed source who’s been texting me. We won’t have to wait too long to find out as the MIR Team is descending on the T-Mobile Winter Preview as I type.

You know when you walk into a mobile store here in the UK and swap to another provider, you have to go through a whole load of hoop-jumping in order to actually KEEP your number and swap it to your new provider.
And it takes days.
DAYS and in some occasions, weeks of arsing about. Sometimes [...]

You can now get yourself a 35-quid-a-month free laptop from Orange.
Although, as we saw earlier, because of their ridiculous .co.uk website design, you’ll need to arse about clicking on their website and be very, very lucky to hit the relevant pages first-time.
The order pages are here, if you can’t be bothered hunting.
Here, then, is what [...]

The pre-pay (pay as you go) in the UK is an absolute joke, I have been looking at what is on offer and it really flocked me off. I checked my email today and in it was a weekly email from Martin Lewis (of Money Saving Expert), and it was details about the cheapest pre-pay [...]

This is rather interesting — reader ‘John’ posted the link to this in a comment earlier. It’s posted as an announcement on the Vodafone eForum:
Hello everyone,
Following previous discussions about Premium Rate Short Message Services, I’m delighted to announce that the bar we promised is now available. I’ve written this message to inform you all [...]

If you are one of those regular air-travelers who often frequent the Heathrow Airport in the UK, this might come as a good news to you. Next time, pray that you get to use the Terminal 5 of the airport, so that you get to use T-Mobile’s Wi-Fi.

Why’s that so interesting? Although technologically, the Wi-Fi [...]

I’ve been meaning to do a post about this news released by Ofcom a few weeks ago.
Here are the highlights:

By the end of 2007, there were almost 74 million mobile connections serving a population of 60 million in the UK. This was an increase of 3.7 million connections since the end of 2006. The total [...]
