Thanks - PuravapeFollowed a youtube film & rushed off to unscrew cap & fill.
Then wouldn't work - so came back & carried on watching & found out I mustn't get liquid in the tiny hole:o:o
It worked perfectly for Fourp who hasn't smoked for 15 years & has sent him coughing & spluttering into a head fug:o

Re: average data use; it really depends on your day-to-day needs.
I use quite a lot of data and tether to my tablet too, I pay £15 per month and get unlimited minutes, texts and data (4G) for £15 per month on a 30-day rolling contract. I'm with Three.
Average MSE user on here would be difficult, but there are apps which decrease the amount of data you use.
I'm guessing you'd use the data for internet browsing (e.g. 15 minutes/day) with the odd use of Shopitize, CoS etc. No YouTube, music streaming etc.?
No youtube or music, but DD did mention face time on Iphones? But guess would do that at home.
Would just catch up on here while out and maybe report from the field.
And get myself into a few cashbacks thingies. :cool:0 -

Sorry Fourp but :rotfl:
Maybe you could tip the liquid out and let it dry out. It may work after that, worth a bash at least. I tried a Belgian chocolate one recently and it tasted fantastic. I haven't converted to ecigs as they contain more nicotine than the ones I smoke now, utterly bizarre. *lights up Silk Cut Silver*'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good'0 -

When browsing at home TS you would be using your own wifi not your data allowance - just make sure wifi is switched on. Also, when in supermarkets you can tap into their wifi, you have to follow instructions the first time but after that logging into it is just a tap and click. hth0 -

I never use all of my O2 minutes, most is about 800 of the O2 1000 units and some of those will be texts , and only about 50 of the 150 evening but I do use rest of my credit and 10% rewards on daytime calls and I do run out of my 100 anyone texts.
Am I really spiting myself by not going contract?
PAYG vs contract is personal preference and dependent on your individual requirements.
I am not a fan of being tied in to a 1 or 2 year contract. Who knows; there may be an amazing offer on in the future or even a glitch that would work out significantly cheaper (T-Mobile had a SIM only glitch several months ago).
It sounds as though you don't want to be committed to a long term contract? If that's the case, then 30-day rolling contracts would suit you best. All you do is give the company a one month warning and your contract ends at the end of the month. No cancellation fees.
Best SIM only deal I can think of for you at this moment in time would be Virgin Mobile. They piggy back off the EE network so have very good UK coverage.
You can get 1200 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB of data on a 30 day rolling contract for £12 per month. Unfortunately, there are no cashback offers.
However, Virgin are VERY easy to haggle with. So after having had the SIM for 3 months, give them a call saying you want your PAC code (a code that allows you to transfer your mobile number to another provider i.e. you're leaving them). They'll transfer you to their retentions team who will knock the above package down to £5-£7 per month. I can (almost) guarantee this will be the case.
I have done this for both my Mum and boyfriend, my Mum pays £5 per month and my boyfriend initially paid £7 per month. I then phoned again 2 months later and got his down to £5 per month.:grouphug:Official MSE canny forumite and HUKD VIP badge member

I have no idea whether I have been getting good deal or not, I have just stuck with it for must be 15 years now since my contract ran out. :eek:
If your Daughter or anyone you normally phone has a computer available, and you have one! You could both Skype each other for as long as you want which is free to download and totally free to use and as an added bonus you can see each other as well.
Skype is also available on any smart phone again totally free to download and free to use.Low Carb High Fat is the way forward I lost 80 lbs
