    Has anyone used the Three Feel at Home deal on their phone? Read about it on the dibb and thinking of getting it for when i go away on my transatlantic cruise in September, a both Spain and USA are covered on it. Would get a PAYG sim and get the bolt on. Just wondered if anyone had any experience with it?

    Yes, it works fine. Small print - you can only use TFaH for 2 months per year and a maximum 12gb data per month on a monthly contract or 12gb data on an annual contract.
    I had the annual one for an iPad £30 for

    Broadband - Pay As You Go + 12.
    Includes.
    Pre-loaded with 12GB and valid up to 12 months. Topped up and ready to go.
    12GB data
    Valid for 12 months

    I got this one for my DGD £20

    15GB
    1 Month Contract
    1 month

    She is away for the whole school holidays, so I do a rolling 1 month contract for her and cancel it after 30 days. So with the notice period, she gets the whole holiday covered. She will easily use the allowance so not worth cancelling after 15 days.

    MOST important bit is that you have to it activated in the UK.
    Mi-Fi unit is cheaper to buy on Amazon/ebay etc than in the 3 shop. With 3, it connected up to 5 devices and was very fast, even on 3G. The only thing it slowed down on was Amazon (I was looking for beach towel/sunbed pegs!).

    According to the first site I checked, in 2016, 46 percent of the respondents had an Apple iPhone. Massive market share.

    Infact according to Comtec the largest continuous research consumer mobile phone tracking, they have a 36% share in the UK, which is still a massive percentage.

    That's comparing phone manufacturers, not iOS v Android which off the top of my head is about 15% v 85%.

    It cant possibly be. By default, if Apple have a 40% (for example) share of the mobile phone market, then it follows that iOS equally MUST have a 40% share of the market.

    Zag, since you are around, what was the film that you said the cleaner from pulp fiction first appeared in was? (On another thread) As not sure if I have seen it, so was putting it onto my mental watch list.

    Afternoon all - What a miserable day outside it hasn't stopped raining since I got up.

    Sorry to hear that OA has been confirmed Bubbs - it can be so debilitating and that horrible pain which seems to be so worst at night. Upside is that it can be managed as I have had in my neck for years but after a lot of trial and error my regime is as follows: regular physio and exercises even when you have no pain, accupuncture when you have flares up, magnesium oil (massage into effected areas) and eliminate foods from the deadly nightshade family eg tomatoes, chillies, potatoes and aubergines as apparently they increase inflammation. I have found that I can reintroduce these after awhile.

    Also those taking extra Vit D might like to google the best form to take - I only take Vit D3 oil.

    Magnesium oil is £12.99 at Holland & B might work out even cheaper with penny sale. Don't get the one with Winter Green in though as you will smell like your old granny :rotfl:

    It's brilliant stuff - can't believe it took me so long to find out about it.

    Have a good one x

    I see you're looking at GB, I was thinking bigger...Worldwide.
