True 'old fashioned' PAYG

David P[_2_] — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:52:10 GMT

Are there any of the true PAYG sims around anymore and if so from where
please?

Few calls are made each month, not many texts and 3G is extremely limited
as the user tends to go wireless at home or find a hotspot whilst out
(McD's for example).

So rather than have to top up each month to get the 3 aformentioned they
are looking for a PAYG which they can top-up with £20 every now and then
and just pay for the internet, calls, texts as they use them.

Recommendations much appreciated

David

Keeping PAYG alive - the 90 day rule

Gordon Freeman — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:59:44 GMT

It seems a lot of PAYG SIMs require you to make a call every 90 days to
avoid being cancelled. Would other chargeable use would also count, e.g.
texting or using the internet/email from the phone?

Do Virgin PAYG SIMs ever expire?

I recently found a Nokia 1100 down a crevice in the sofa that was last
seen (according to the call and text logs) in July 2006.
To my surprise the SIM is still active.

T-Mobile Vivacity

Adrian C[_2_] — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:39:59 GMT

What a phone, they'll have to build an additional power station in its
honor!! Styling to fool the Apple brand fashion cognescenti, Camera
resolution harking back to the days of coy soft focus moddling shots,
this cheap as chips phone is excellent but the grease marks show...

(Ok, where's me meds....)

Seriously, it makes a very good upgrade from an Apple iPod Touch. Screen
and Android apps are impressive. Just ignore depending on it as a phone
unless ye can plug it to charge at least once a day.

Got mine for �70 before xmas on PAYG, 6 months free internet. A nice toy
IMO.

This rings a vague bell somewhere. I've had emails blocking in POP3 in
the past when using T-mobile. If it seemed persistent I'd switch to
accessing the POP3 server through an SSH tunnel and they then transfer
fine.

Telemarketing app

Deux — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 23:34:07 GMT

Is there any app either for Android or iPhone that will waste a
telemarketers time?

The app I'm looking for will listen for silence and then each time play a
sound that says something like "That's interesting", "Tell me more".

Calling your own number

Deux — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 23:28:07 GMT

I noticed if I call my own number that my phone displays "LINE 1" as
though I had that stored in my phone book. This is on T-Mobile.

Could this be some kind of fix for the Voicemail CLID problem? Some
way of identifying if the caller ID is genuine?

Vodafone fault in Argyll

MB[_4_] — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:50:32 GMT

Quite a big feature in this week's Oban Times about a Vodafone fault
affecting lots of people around Oban. Some have been off for a few
days, some since 3rd January and some since before Christmas. One
comment added says that Bridge of Orchy has been off for three weeks.

What really annoys them most is that when they ring to report it
Vodafone blame on their phones, SIM card and anything rather than admit
there is a fault though some people have been given free Sure Signals.

Are the customer service people given access to any information on
network faults or are they programmed to initially blame the customer's
equipment. Reminiscent of BT broadband!

UK email to SMS confirmed addresses

PVS — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 04:59:28 GMT

Hello everyone:

I am trying to get a confirmed list of email to SMS address for operators in the UK. I've see lists that indicate

for T Mobile
for Orange

etc

but most information online seems outdated or incorrect. I am hoping perhaps forum members can help create a confirmed list of addresses.

One way to find out what your phone's email to SMS address is to send a text message to an email address and see what the from "address" says at the other end. This may not always work but its quick and easy to try.

I develop an app that enables you to SMS from a PC (bit.ly/phoneleash - hope moderator is OK!) and thats my selfish reason for trying to get this information

Thank you
