Mobile operators should stop 'bundling' phones and airtime
Saw this today on BBC website https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-53930777 . Basically it's saying mobile operators are ripping off people who don't change their contracts once their phone has been purchased at the end of the contract by not reducing their tariffs to an equivalent SIM-only deal. I was thinking about this…

How do people feel about "effective" pricing ?
I know many will simply say that it's "no effort at all to submit your bills" e.t.c, which it clearly isn't, but in real-world terms, you're still paying the full quoted price for the contract and you're just getting a small amount of money in your pocket every three months (or thereabouts) to spend on something else. I've…

Three moving out of contact users - Again!
This happened back in 2014 and looks like Three are up to their old tricks again. We have been with the three network for years and years on sim only contracts. Once the contract expires, we normally stay on a rolling monthly basis and only renew into a new sim only contract when a better offer comes along. Several members…

Breach of contract by Vodafone?
I was mis-sold an additional line to my phone contract rather than the upgrade that I processed. It took me three months to get Vodafone to acknowledge this and for them to cancel the additional line. Vodafone terminated the wrong line, while I was on the phone to them, and I was left with only the additional line for 15…

EE replacing RPI increases....
From next year, EE will be replacing RPI increases with CPI + 3.9%!!! Also, currently there are two separate increases annually, the one you get depends on when you signed up originally. Everyone will be moved to the same rate at the same time. So under the new model, if CPI next year was 2.5%, then EE would up the plans…

Use of SD card with doro 825
I have installed a 30GB SD card on my Doro 825 OS 5.5.1 I’m most disappointed to find that most apps will not avail of the card, particularly Google apps. The only real success is storage of photos and videos, and data for some navigation apps. Any suggestions ? Thankyou. John.
