3GS Blocking Landline Calls
I got a text from my wife this morning saying that a call from our doctor had been blocked by her 3GS. Since neither of us has the first clue how to set up call barring and the doctor isn't exactly someone we would choose to block anyway, I was wondering if anyone might know why this could happen and, more importantly, how…

Overseas internet access
I am shortly due to spend 2 weeks in Belgium on "holiday" but need to bring my laptop to do some work. I therefore need internet access. Obviously paying a squillion quid per byte to my UK carrier is out of the question. I was wondering what cheap methods there might be to do so? I could visit an internet cafe or coffee…

Hi all, Yesterday I went to O2 store to apply for iPhone 4 on monthly contract.

Orange Pay Monthly Sim Only
I am thinking of ordering one of these, but need to be sure of it before signing up. I currently spend about £10 a month on PAYG, but it really annoys me when it runs out of credit just when i need it. So the 18 month Canary 10 Sim deal at £10 per month looks pretty good, given that it has 200 anytime any network minutes…
