  • If they also ban sex, religion and net pay after tax we won't have any more problems.

    Actually, I take that back; they're already making a concerted effort to ban the last one.

    As you have plagurised this article directly from another source the least you could do would be to acknowledge this.

    Edit after merge - refers to post 7 which was first post in a thread quoting (without attributing) article linked to in first post of this thread
    I think....

    Could you point us to the source. The one thing I would point out is that the networks are not adhering to their own voluntary code.
    The problem lies in the fact that the networks are running a cartel and no-one else can break through into the market.

    I may have missed something but who is the letter to? Also I dont know the MP so which party is he?
    Surely this is another example of how little protection the customer has these days. Ofcom represent their industry and only if they were under personal threat would do anything to protect a customer at the expense of the big boys. The practices that the networks have run have been known for ages and should have been dealt with then. The networks should be held responsible for the contracts issued by retailers.
    What about the issues that many have with the networks themselves and cannot get even to speak to someone other than the brick wall that is called customer service?

    'Most mobile cashback deals are a con'
    According to a survey undertaken by the site, one in four people with cashback deals have had difficulty obtaining their money.
    How can 25% be construed as "most"? Just curious :confused:
  • It appears in this week's MOBILE UK

    I predict total wipeout by end of the year-This is the Northern Rock of the phone industry-Thousands of people will lose their money but no Bank Of England stepping in to save them :mad:
  • 25% is just the figure of those who ADMIT it

    Is this another plagiarised or copied article without acknowledgement or a link?

    Perhaps the OP should study a little copyright law.
