Arrrgh OneTel/1899 Somebody crashed my phone/internet service!
I signed up for OneTel and 1899 17th March due to reading the posts on here. OneTel say my service would be activated on 06/04/05. Great I thought. How wrong I was.

Awful hotel
My husband spent a lot of money treating me to a surprise weekend away.

He spent £115 per night on this hotel room, which for us is a huge sum of money,…

That's why when there was a knock at the door and a guy telling me (eventually) "I'd been left on the old, more expensive tarriff" I was wise to him. I answered the door to be greeted by this guy and his clipboard (so it must be…
