750 minutes... £13.99... BARGAAAAINNNNN!

Advantages: loads of minutes
Disadvantages: only Tmobile network

...BACKGROUND ******************** I have had this contract for 2 years, but changed recently (i'll come to that). I am French, and live in London. I was using this contract because of the high number of minutes and also the price. I used it mainly to call mummy and daddy (with an international phone card), to tell them about my adventures... WHAT IS IT? **************** A mobile phone contract. It includes: - 750 minutes (about 12.5 hours) off peak (6pm - 7am, and the whole week end) - free answer phone - 50 free texts a month (you can get special deals with 100 txts) - a free phone - itemised billing: +£1 per month (you have no choice, you have to get it) detailed bill with all the numbers you called or txted. HOW MUCH, BECAUSE YOU SAID BARGAIN EARLIER... ********************************************************** £13...

Review of T-Mobile Freetime 750 24 month 12 Month

My Supermarket Mobile

Advantages: Cheap, easy to get started, good coverage, clubcard points
Disadvantages: None so far

...So here we go again another review brought about by the fact I had to move to keep my job (long story and will be covered when I write the review of my employers when and if Ciao list them). Sadly for Orange their network doesn't cover Lydd camp - just the area outside it but no signal penerates the camp fence oddly enough. So while on my hunt for a working network I checked the O2 website and found they claim to have full coverage across the camp, not long after this I remembered the handset and SIM I was given by the nightclub I used to work for but was on Tesco mobile. Dont worry I've not lost it, Tesco mobile and O2 are pretty much the same thing because Tesco buy the 'spare' satellite time from O2 to operate their network. Which means that while the Tesco sell the SIM's and the handsets its O2 that owns and operates...

K750i Why Not Buy It ???

Advantages: Good Quality Camera, Expandable Memory, You Can Change The Mobile Cover
Disadvantages: You Can't Video Call or Receive Them, You Can't save WMA Music Format

...cover. I WENT BACK TO COLLECT MY MOBILE THE OTHER DAY.. I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE WORKING. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY DIDN'T EVEN FIX IT AND THEY EVEN VOIDED MY WARRANTY, MEANING THAT I CANT USE IT, AND THE WARRANTY STILL HAD ABOUT 6MONTHS TO GO. THEY SAID THEY I CHANGED MY PHONE COVER WITHOUT AUTHORIZATRION!! I FIND THAT SOO PATHETIQUE BECAUSE EVERY1 ELSE THESE DAYS BUYS MOBILE COVERS AND NUTHING GOES WRONG. VODAFONE ITS SELF ALSO SELLS K750i MOBILE COVERS SO I DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM. I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO CALL THE CUSTOMER SERVICES AND HAVE A GO AT THEM BECAUSE IF I SENT IT TO THEM WITHOUT THE NEW COVER THEY'D AVE FIXED IT. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE DAMAGE COSTS MORE THAN THE PHONE TO FIX, WHICH IS RATHER A LIE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THE MOBILE. I AM VERY WELL PISSED OFF AND I AIN'T LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS!! By the way if...

Review of Sony Ericsson K750i

Tesco are now Mobile...

Advantages: Reasonable cost and a straightforward range of tariffs
Disadvantages: Some underlying network problems

...Want to buy your mobile while picking up your beans? Why not go one better and have the supermarket BE the mobile network with Tesco Mobile (well almost? see below!). When did Tesco build a mobile network? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The answer, of course, is that they didn't. The Tesco Mobile network is a 'virtual' network, similar to Virgin Mobile, in this case being carried on the O2 network. It is a joint venture between Tesco and O2. Why do these virtual networks exist? On the (physical) network operator's side they use up spare capacity while someone else picks up the marketing bill. On the (virtual) network operator's side they gain the ability to offer mobile telephony services without the need to spend (many) millions and years building a network. Here O2 effectively get access to Tesco's undoubted marketing ability...

Disadvantages: noisy

  T erffic Mobile

Advantages: Good Coverage, Excllent Customer Services, Excellent Price Plans
Disadvantages: none

...rental and I could change tariffs if I wanted too. I received my phone and all was well, I contacted T-Mobile to activate the phone and followed their instructions of waiting for a text message to arrive and charging up the phone. I remember thinking at the time how nice the person was who took the call and that they actually seemed pleased to talk to me. They made sure I understood what tariff I was on and that I understood the terms and conditions. A couple of months later I decide to check out what new tariffs were available in anticipation of there being something better when I was able to. I found a tariff that allowed me 750 free off peak minutes and 50 free text messages for only £13.99 a month. I contacted T-Mobile to ask for further details and they told me it was a new tariff on special offer, they didn?t know how long it...

Susuki GSXR-750. The Hooligans weapon of choice!!!

Advantages: Speed, handling, reliability, snarly exhaust note.
Disadvantages: Maybe not quite as stylish looking as some other bikes.

...Susuki GSXR-750. The Hooligans weapon of choice!!! Previous to buying my Gixxer 750 three years ago I owned a 2001 Kawasaki Ninja 600. I ended up having no end of expensive problems with the Kawasaki and in the end I part-exchanged the bike for a brand new Suzuki GSXR-750 K5 model. I bought my bike as the new model was coming out so I got a hefty discount on it. You can pick one of these up for about £4000 now. Which is good considering that they are known for their bomb-proof engines so you shouldn?t get any problems. Just be careful as they are a bit of a track day goers favourite so might have been trashed around race tracks. ~~~~~~~ The Look ~~~~~~~ I bought one of the less popular colour schemes, yellow and black. I actually really like this colour. It looks good with my black windshield. A bonus is that you will see a lot...

Kawasaki Z750 - Commute, scratch and tour.

Advantages: Handles well for a 'budget' bike, friendly for newbies and fun for the experienced. Engine good
Disadvantages: Suspension could do with improvement, brakes are only so-so.

...Well, having passed my full motorcycle test (Restricted A2, 33bhp for 2 years) back in December, I wanted to quickly get rid of my 2k7 (and getting very expensive to run (+ uneconomical, noisy and useless at long distance faster riding) RS125. I kind of bought the Z750 on impulse. It was a good price for me (some £400 below parkers list) and for a 5 year old bike, incredibily clean. I would commute and enjoy occasional fun runs for about 800 miles before getting it restricted to comply with the (IMO!!) stupid EU regulations, so obviously performance now is merely adequate, but beforehad the 750's powerplant would give you all the performance you'd need (and want) on a public highway! Handling wise, well, let's say that in the corners it has no trouble dealing with being thrown about, so long as the road isn't really bumpy, then...

Virgin Mobile

Advantages: Everything is an Advantage
Disadvantages: Naaa

...After being with virgin mobile since it first was set up in 1999 and still at this present day, I have had no problems with them at all. I first started with the Philips Savvy and then moved on to a Nokia 3310 cause I dropped water on the damn thing, but other than that I have had no problem with the operator itself. The thing that drew me towards the idea of Virgin mobile was: 1) Cheap calls 2) Free voice mail (which you have to pay for on other operators) 3) Great savings and deals (when you buy a phone and during the time you are with them) 4) Friendly staff to help you out if some thing goes wrong or when you register. 5) Great COVERAGE (for once) 6) Different way to pay 1) Cheap calls: The phone prices are cheap than other operators, which are always a big thing for the public, and over the last couple of years...
