A friend of my wife’s has emailed. She’s just finished 18 months of contractual service with Orange and the company that sold her the deal has phoned her up again, wanting to flog another contract. They’re offering her 600 minutes (I imagine cross-network) along with unlimited text messaging for £30 a month. And, I suspect, [...]
Register your interest re: G1 T-Mobile UK
Here’s the update we speculated about earlier. It’s a sign-up form for notification about when the G1 Android handset is available on T-Mobile UK: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/t-mobileg1-whats-hot/
T-Mobile UK readying Android
I had an anonymous text on my handset just now from what I suspect is a pay-as-you-go number. The contact advises me to check out the T-Mobile UK site this evening, promising something I’d like to see. A working online billing system, perhaps? (Ok that was just a dig based on my recent T-Mobile annoyances.) [...]
Vodafone: No speedy number porting in the UK, thank-you-very-much
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. [...]
Updated MobileMeg — your source for UK mobile data info
Pete’s updated MobileMeg. It’s looking good. I am a particular fan of his rather comprehensive table that breaks down the data rates at all UK MNOs. Useful! Here’s the note from Pete: Hi all, Just a quick update, to let you know about the new release of MobileMeg. As you’ll probably remember, the aim is [...]
Orange UK launches laptops as well
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, [...]
iPhone 3G still doing well in the UK
Yes, we’re reporting news about the iPhone 3G again. If you’re not the iPhone type, we’d still suggest that you be all ears for this. Apparently, even after having its fair share of problems and different lawsuits being filed against it, the Apple iPhone 3G is doing fairly well in the UK, reports MobileToday. The [...]
UK Prepay vs Contract: A complete joke!
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 [...]
HTC Dream to hit T-Mobile UK in November?
If you’ve been waiting for Google’s entry into mobile operating systems and can’t wait to get your hands on the open-source OS Android, which will apparently be powering the HTC Dream, the first phone to feature the OS, well, your wait may finally be over. If the Telegraph is to be believed, the HTC Dream [...]
Vodafone UK’s premium rate SMS bar (“VSPAM”) stops spam immediately
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 [...]
Shit T-Mobile UK Online Billing System: Redux
We continue the shit T-Mobile UK online billing system series with this post today. Last night at 1145pm, the system was offline and not accessible. Tonight at 930pm I thought I’d give it a go. I’ve been trying to setup my direct debit, if you recall. I managed to login fine. Clicked ‘direct debit’. All [...]
Heathrow gets T-Mobile’s largest Wi-Fi hotspot
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 [...]
