Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

The Vodafone tariff has dropped to €29.99 (€14.99 for first 3 months) USB modem is still €59, same 5GB cap as on the previous tariff. Advertising will start in the the next few days... I'd imagine they were waiting to see what O2 were going to offer and then just match it.
Vodafone HSDPA is going live within 2 weeks (possibly sooner) so all networks will be offering the same 3.6mbps and then the race is on to upgrade to 7.2mbps before xmas.
Personally I'm happy enough with my landline but just wanted to update the thread
Hopefully the mobile price war will continue to reduce the cost and maybe the landline providers will be forced to follow suit.... 0 -

To Check with Voda IRL you need to input hs.vodafone.ie
Voda Spain: airtelnet.es

Well so much for being an O2 customer and waiting to see their offering
Looks like I will be getting it from 3 after all
O2 seem to have got the pricing all wrong and there is no incentive for existing customers to sign up. In acual fact, they force me to re-sign a contract again......
"Existing customers with less than 12 months remaining in their pay monthly (voice) contract must extend their voice contract by a further 12 months.
Existing 18 month contract customers in month five onwards of their pay monthly (voice) contract must extend their existing contract by a further 12 months "
How disappointing

hehe, just going by what I heard. Some other user posted about it and it boosted their signal a lot. It was a trick that used to be done with sky receivers too or something with the card?
For some reason my Google now goes to .co.uk since I've been using the 3 BB

culabula you never cease to amaze me with your tireless quest to get the best mobile/broadband deal going
you seem to have gotten it down to a fine art.
fair play.
nearly makes me feel sorry for the poor operator.. nearly.
I just wonder though about stuff like
1) using your three usb sim in your handset
2) using your three handset as a modem and
3)using a spanish payg sim in your handset as a modem abroad.
are you confident you're never going to have a huge bill doing this.0 -

Ah yes, the old "it's true because I read it on the internet". If you even think of the physics of it for a second, how can a clean SIM card affect radio reception?cormie wrote:For some reason my Google now goes to .co.uk since I've been using the 3 BB
Probably because Three route your data through the UK.0 -

I once spent 700IEP on what I call an on/off switch for my turntable so who am I to chide? :-)0 -

Why thank you!
You should have seen me in the 90s when I was the original King of Free SMS and fSMSCs...I wrote the book. Once Pannon Hungary charged me for a rake of SMS sent via their MC in 1995 -the shower! -and I went down to Eircell house and had it all refunded. V naughty. I was the first in Ireland to send SMS-MO after I convinced them (Eircell)to turn it on for me because I had a Psion 3MX, a cable and a 2110i plus no less than 3 SMS apps for the Psion. 20 months of officially-sanctioned free SMS! I used to get SIX HUNDRED pages a month of a bill from Vodafone UK of absolutely *nothing* as I ravaged the world's SMScs. To this day i can't stand paying for SMS, have no bundles -it's a legacy thing :-)
Anyway, enough of this idle boasting:
Using the 3 SIM in an handset is absolutely fine
Using my unlocked N95 as a modem is absolutely fine with any data-enabled SIM
Using my Spanish PAYG SIM for data having converted the credit to a data "Bono" is perfectly above board.
As a caution -have 2 batteries for your Mac, 2 for your N95 and keep the bottle and the glass well removed from your computing!0
