Will Orange and T-Mobile merge their networks, so that all mast carry both networks? If so does anyone know when. Ideally I would like my Virgin sim to be able to connect to the local Orange mast which has a strong signal. -- Michael Chare

Anyone familiar with this situation: You're at the gym listening to on your mobile phone through your earphones. As your running the earphone jack comes out. What you want to happen is that your phone pauses the music until you can plug your earphones back in. But the phone designers thought it would be a better idea start playing your music on the phone loudspeaker! If that wasn't bad...

Hi, There used to be a website where you could get a code to unlock Nokia phones foc. So, does anyone have the URL and is it possible to unlock the following using said site:- Nokia 6020 Nokia 5200 TIA

I want my phone to be able to record phone calls without the other person knowing. When I had my Nokia N70 I installed something called Ultimate Voice Recorder which worked fine. I've just installed it on my E72 and every 2 seconds I can hear a quiet beep in the background which the other person can hear as well! Looking at alternative software it seems that a feature that comes with some...

I have a HTC Hero Orange branded but unlocked to all networks and have been waiting patiently for the Android 2.1 Eclair update as it comes with Android 1.5 Cupcake as standard. Well early this morning they finally released part 2 of the OTA update which is 2.1 Android Eclair and I have successfully updated the phone to this new version (which comes as standard on the latest HTC Android...

All, Anybody know how this could / can be done? Regards, Richard M Wade Esq.

I'm wondering about buying a mobile principally for use as a VOIP client over wifi. It's to be bought and used in Sudan, where there's not much selection of non-mobile VOIP phones (and offers like Three Skype don't exist). Due to various double NAT headaches (see my thread on uk.telecom.voip) it looks like Skype or IAX are the most robust protocols, but I'd like to keep my options open to use...

does anyone know if this can be done *without* a lead. Doesn't look like it from HTCs websiite, but wondered if anyone knew different .....

I have a T-Mobile G1 on an 18-month contract with flext (calls, texts, internet). I'm happy with it. The 18-month anniversary/renewal came up last month. On the website renewal bit in My T-Mobile, T-Mobile offered me a phone upgrade or a 20% discount on monthly fee if I renewed for 18 months. Took the monthly discount offer and the webpage confirmation said "Your £6 discount will be applied to...

Purchased an old Nokia on eBay a few weeks ago and been using it with a Vodafone SIM with no problems. When I insert an Orange SIM I get signal for a few seconds and then it disappears. Selecting 'Orange' on a manual network search gives a 'No Access' message. Thought there was something funny happening with Orange but I've since tested all networks and am thinking the handset has possibly...

I am looking for a new smartphone, having sed WM2003, WM5 and WM6.5 on my previous phones, I now see the mention of Android phones. Is it likely that Windows Mobile phones will be a thing of the past soon? Is Android taking the lead in popularity, and which is the best O/S to have? Are there plenty of free apps for Android? DS

I'm not talking about going over my allowance, just using it within my allowance. The terms and conditions are pretty clear about it not being permissable but I'd like to link up my ipod touch occasionally to the net and it seems the easiest way to do it. I'm on a pay-monthly deal with "unlimited" internet (i.e. 1GB per...

I used to be able to listen to radio 4 using realplayer in my Nokia E66 and a Wifi connection. In May the unhelpful BBC discontinued this facility. The BBC say that the iplayer will run in a E71 which is a similar phone http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/mobile/mobile_phone though if the web site is to be believed I need a TV licence just to listen to the radio. However my attempts...

I have a T-Mobile G1; when I press a key to get the screen back on, there's a little box which tells me the date/time, and the network it's connected to (in the UK always T-Mobile: abroad when roaming, the relevant network). I was out walking today in an area (UK!) that I often go to where there is no T-Mobile reception. Usually, it just shows "no service". However, today, it was picking...

Are there any USB dongles that are capable of making GSM calls? The reason I ask is I was recently using a Huawei B220 router. This looks like it's a wireless router with an E220 USB dongle built into it... there's a USB port you can use to plug it into a PC and if you do it appears just like an E220 (even the E220 unlock method works). But the router also has a phone socket on the back, which...

For my travels abroad I would like to have my own means of connecting to Internet and Mail using Wi-Fi. I am considering to buy a netbook but I wonder if spending on a decent mobile would be a more cost effective and more portable as I would have with me only one and smaller device. However, one thing I am not sure is whether these smartpohes can, in effect, do all that a netbook can do as...

Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to unlock a LG KP100? TIA

I've been connecting my laptop to the internet via mobile phones for at least the last 10 years now, but I've noticed the use of the word "tethering" being used recently to describe doing something like this. I may be missing something here, but is this just a fashionable new use of the word to describe what I've already been doing, or is there something more to it? To me, tethering is something...

looks like my next work phone will be one of these. I currently use an N5800 ... is this a sideways step or a step up, or will I hate it as much as I hated the HTC touch ?
