My Vairy Godmother

I was in town today and thought I would take a look at the Orange Vegas in the Orange store. I thought it was quite a dinky thing, especially in pink (they didn’t have the black version in stock). Though they wouldn’t allow me to try one first, I decided to take the plunge. I [...]

Addicted – New Virgin PAYG Tariffs

Just picked up the latest Asda Magazine and inside the back page is the news that Virgin are changing their PAYG tariff.

Killer Threes Keep On Attacking!

Have I said lately that I am sooooooo fed up with Three? It dawned on me the other day that I hadn’t received the PAC code via text from Three as promised on 23/12/08. With a feeling of dread, I called their customers services again today.  Ah yes I can have the PAC code but [...]

The Nokia is Dead! – Long Live The Samsung!

Bless Your Beautiful Hide (Skin, Actually)

Just noticed on the Three website, a new service that allows you to cover up your gadget with a new skin. These self adhesive skins come in many designs (oooh love those perdy flowers) and are designed for loads of phones, ipods and laptops. I might give this a go myself. The skins start at [...]

Hot on the heels of FamilyMobile’s cheap PAYG tarif, Asda have waded in and cut their pricing. 8p per minute 4p per text and only 20p per mb for mobile internet, makes it a very attractive proposition for casual users.

Mobile Browsing – Overdraft At The Ready

Mobile internet is growing fast, almost every mobile phone now offers a better browsing experience and many websites encourage visits by providing mobile versions. This growth will be reigned in by greedy mobile companies, I’m sure. My advice is to abandon the greedy ones in favour of the others. At the moment I can personally [...]
