giffgaff = con-con by
Martin Jay
Well, well, well. Despite all it's community based fully charm,
giffgaff is just another con.
A few days ago I noticed my giffgaff balance had unexpectedly dropped
by GBP5, so I sent an email requesting a refund.
Surprise, surprise it transpires that giffgaff have charged me for an
unrequested premium rate text message that was sent from a third
party. I had hoped the premium rate text...

Are Orange GPRS rates still a rip off??? by
donkeydave
Some years ago I was with Orange PAYG, and ocasionally used their GPRS for
access to the web and email. Problem is it was a complete rip off. Are
Orange still a rip off for GPRS, or have they become better value these
days? I am considering using them again, but only when I cannot get into
the three network. How much are their costs these days for GPRS on PAYG?
Thanks

Useful for giffgaff? by
Steve Terry[_2_]
If you are an O2 customer and over 13 you can get one of these,
apparently without charges in the UK?
http://money.o2.co.uk/cashmanager.html
Being Visa you could then use it to top up a giffgaff
(if you haven't any other Debit cards)

Suspend Orange contract? by
Gyp
Anyone know if it's currently possible to suspend a contract on Orange?
Having signed up to Vodafone with lots of minutes, my OVP-Virgin/ED50
line1/2 combo isn't being used as much as it once was (the 40p/min x-net
being the killer), but I'd rather not cancel it just yet, especially as
I won't be able to reinstate it if I do.
So, is it possible to suspend it for 12 months or so?

bobmobile, scamming thieving crooks by
Davie the Scotsman
without me signing up for anything and never hearing of them before
the crooks and scammers at bobmobile.co.uk have stolen money from me.
They sent me five text messages and charged me £2.50 a time and what
do they say when I told them I never signed up.
Tough luck!
They are a bunch of crooks registered in Germany and they steal money
from your phone credit and say that you must have signed up.

S2 Internet & Mobile Modem - Expensive by
CJB[_2_]
It seems that using the S2 as a mobile modem can be more expensive
than at first realised.
I was wondering why my monthly mobile dongle Internet allowance and
one week Internet add-on weren't lasting very long.
It seems that the S2 and my laptop are uploading and downloading
considerable amounts of data as soon as a connection is established.
The S2 Mobile Modem window shows considerable data...

Lycamobile & Lebara Connection Fees & Porting by
CJB[_2_]
Both of these are advertising free minutes and texts for same network
calling. However in some forums customers are complaining that there
are hidden charges such as connection fees of 15p that are charged
every time a same network call is made.
And apparently Lycamobile Plus (on O2) wont allow you to port an old
number to them.
Both Lyca and Lebara are heavily pushing their services, yet when...

A couple of days ago my Demon ADSL line was down for about eighteen
hours. Not only could I not send from my laptop using 3 to my home SMTP
server but neither could I send mail to Demon's server because that
appeared to be down as well. So I tried...

K750i possible to unlock? by
tireless.orion@gmail.com
Hi
I've just bought a new phone (800i) and my wife (who is with Virgin)
would like my current K750i which is on Orange - I had a brief chat
with Orange today and was told it would be possible, but at a cost of
£25!
Is there an easier and cheaper way to do this? I have no experience of
unlocking phones, but it seems a shame to throw away what is a pretty
good phone just because Orange won't...

Additional data usage on Voda Mobile Internet by
Bob Pullen
Hi all,
My voda tariff is '300 minutes + Unlimited Texts with Mobile Internet
and Vodafone Passport'
AFAIK there's a 500MB FUP on the data tariff.
Does anybody know what happens when you exceed this? I've just acquired
a Nokia N900 and suspect I'll be using between 250MB-750MB of mobile
data each month.
