    Its because you have seen all the ones that were available.
    They aren't infinite.
    I watch some every day and I think there has only been one day when there were none.
    Some days (usually a sat or sun) you may only get 1 or two but mostly there are more.

    I'm seeing the usual Samba page. No Sky movies here.

    Edit: There's a Skyfall / Sky Movies background image, with the website on top of it. I wonder if you were seeing only that for some reason.

    Definitely still going - we have a new Samba deal now live:

    Should work. Samba is running on the 3 network, so the network lock will match. I have a HTC Wildfire locked to 3 that now hosts my Samba SIM, and it's working great.

    Samba is data only. But you can make phone calls from your mobile!
    Localphone.com is one of the companies that have apps for iPhone or Android smartphones for making cheap phone calls to UK and abroad. It works with wi-fi or a 3G connection such from Samba or Ovivomobile.
    Free allownaces from Ovivomible include 500 MB of data every month. That translates to loads of free calls!
    To try it out, localphone offer a free 5 minutes call to new customers.

    DialNow is cheaper than Localphone.
