Nokia 105 settings
My elderly neighbour has a new Nokia 105, and sometimes accidentally changes the settings by pressing the wrong key. He has turned something on that shows 2 musical notes on the screen. Even the manual didn't show me what this was, so I haven't been able to turn it off. We established it wasn't the radio. I'll be grateful…

Advice on a mobile in place of a landline
So I've cancelled my landline with BT & as of tomorrow it'll be shut down. It was quite handy to have though for whenever the reception wasn't great on the mobile as I'd just get whoever to call the landline in that scenario. My wife & I are both on o2 so we'd be looking at something running on a different network. Other…

Lebara roaming in India: data mostly broken, use local SIM instead
Prior to a long stay in India I ordered a SIM with Lebara because they offer roaming access in India. Sounded good and I can't fault delivery and using it here in the UK.
