CPW no help! Samsung S6 Freezing and Restarting Issues
I've been having an issue for months with my Galaxy S6 phone. It started with the phone restarting on it's own now and again, every few days, and then also started freezing when idle or in use.

Any BT Mobile Customers - Any Good?
They have a double data on their £10 sim only contract at the moment - that's 4Gb for £10 a month - pretty good.

Small 3G phone...?

He has absolutely no interest in getting a smartphone. He wouldn't use the features, but the main reason he doesn't want one is that they're so…
