Emergency Only Mobile by
Jeff Gaines
A few years ago I bought a £15 mobile in Comet to keep in the car for
emergencies.
I bring it in and charge it up and test it occasionally and a couple of
times it has failed to register the SIM (it's a Nokia phone on the Virgin
network). I called Virgin and they performed some magic to re-connect it.
It's now done it again.
Before I try and get it re-connected is there any mobile or...

Wierd voice mail problem, voice mail for another number on phone by
[email protected]
We have two phones with Virgin pay-as-you-go on Direct Debit SIMs in
them. The SIMs have been moved between phones a few times as we've
changed and upgraded.
We have a problem now where, when you call one of the numbers and the
call isn't answered, you get through to the voicemail of the *other*
number. Even more confusing is what happens when you call one phone
from the other, it tries to go...

IP address GPRS by

Is there a way of finding a PAYG Vodafone sim's ip address without
having the sim in hand?
We have one in a remote piece of kit which I would like to download
data from other than going there and connecting a notebook to it.

Samsung on BBC Watchdog by
Gordon Freeman
Someone was just complaining on BBC's Watchdog programme that the latest
Samsung iphone-killer is so full of bloatware that although billed as 16GB
there's only 9GB free so when they upgraded from the previous model they
couldn't fit all their existing apps onto it! You'd think Sansung would
make sure that a new model gave you more free space not less, people are
unlikely to want to reduce...

SIM for visitor to UK? by
Clive Page[_4_]
Some cousins of mine who live in Australia are visiting the UK this
summer and asked me to suggest a UK SIM to put in their phones while
they are here and in other parts of Europe.
I thought that Giffgaff might be suitable. I'd happily post them a
couple of SIMs, and assumed that they would be able activate them before
leaving so they know their new temporary numbers in advance, and would...

????????????? WHY DID PROPHET MUHAMMAD MARRY AISHA THE YOUNG GIRL by
BV BV
WHY DID PROPHET MUHAMMAD MARRY AISHA THE YOUNG GIRL?
This is an important book talks about a common issue misunderstood but
misused by lots of thinkers and orientalists. It is “Why did Prophet
Muhammad marry Aisha the young girl?” The author shows the reason
behind their discussion. They want to distort the picture of Prophet
Muhammad not criticize the marriage of young girl. Also if this...

Is there any major downside to Ovivo? by
[email protected]
I have one Ovivo SIM running on their "buy it for £15 and then pay
nothing more" deal and don't see any problems. I'm thinking of getting
one for my wife's phone too, similar fairly low usage will fit in the
free allowances most months with very occasional extra usage.
Am I missing something obvious or is this really by far the best deal
for a fairly low usage mobile phone? It's certainly a...

Roaming cheaper than within UK calls - wierd! by
[email protected]
We have two Virgin "Pay as you go on DD" phones, we had a query about a
call recently and I was studying out recent calls carefully.
I suddenly realised that roaming calls from France back to the UK were
*cheaper* than calling the same numbers in the UK!
Calls to landlines etc. within the UK cost 40p/minute, calls from France
to the UK cost 30p/minute.
We use the phones very little so they're...

Nokia Lumia - battery saver mode by
Scott[_3_]
My Nokia Lumia 820 says that leaving the phone on battery-saver mode
is 'not recommended'. However, the phone can still receive calls and
texts so I don't see the problem. The battery definitely seems to
last a bit longer between charges. Am I missing something?

Is WorldSIM a con? by
Dee[_3_]
A friend of mine recently picked up a WorldSIM sim card before
travelling to a number of countries abroad. It promised free incoming
calls to a UK number and cheap calls from abroad.
The UK number actually turns out to be allocated to the Isle of Man, so
UK networks charge to call or text it. Their website gives completely
different call rates to the enclosed leaflet, in other words it's...

Tethering to an Android (from Windows phone) by
Peter Jenkins
Hi,
I was wondering, how is it possible to tether to an android from a windows
phone, as it seems the Andriod will not pickup adhoc servers, only the full
wifi style routers???
That WMWifirouter program for the phone doesnt seem to work, unless im
config it incorrectly.
Does seem silly paying for two data contracts if i can aviod it!!

Orange OVP - how often does it have to be used to stay active? by
Clive Page[_4_]
I have an old phone with an Orange OVP SIM in it - which I'd like to
keep for emergencies.
Does anyone know how often you have to use it to stop Orange disabling
the SIM and giving someone else the number? And is it sufficient to
receive a call/text, or does it have to make one? I have a vague
recollection this has been discussed on this group before, but I
couldn't find the thread, and...

Mobile Phones - Battery Life by
Martin Brown
I can't be the only one that needs a compact robust mobile phone that
doesn't need recharging every day and does the basics very well. I have
had a Nokia 6303i for ages and that was ideal until it had a terminal
encounter with a bucket of water. I have gone back to my previous 6300
but its battery life was never much good when new and is much worse now.
I am in the market for a new mobile...

Big Button Mobile by
nick
My father in law is looking for a big button mobile phone.
He just needs basic voice and text functions. Reliability and battery
life are more important than bells and whistles.
He has suggested a Binatone SM300.
Anyone with any experience of these?
Anything better available?

Android app to stop other apps connecting to internet... by
Jake[_2_]
Is there any app that will run on Android phones and either block any mobile
data connections (in the interest of preventing roaming data charges whilst
abroad)
Is there any app for same that will block a specific app/number of apps from
connecting to the internet whether over mobile data or wireless (due to
privacy concerns and ad blocking)

Hi,
My contract with o2 online expires on the 30th October and I don't think

find one in stock) and one of the Square Deals they're offering just now.
afaik the Square Deals end on the 31st October so my main question is: What

Help with smartphone problem? by

Greetings,
I am the proud possessor of two smartphones, both Huawei. I have
