Samsung Galaxy S2, O2 and Ice Cream Sandwich
Yesterday, Samsung made available Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, or ICS) available to the UK networks for the Galaxy S2 (my phone of choice). The idea is that the individual networks can now make any changes to it that they need to, test them and then release the final package. My SG2, on O2, came [...]
O2, your phone number and lost services
Yesterday PC Pro a story about how system administrator Lewis Peckover had discovered that O2 were transmitting customer’s mobile number when you visited a web page. Lewis even produced a web page where you could if your phone was doing this. However, by the afternoon O2 appeared to have back-peddled quickly and removed this functionality, as my phone was [...]
The Sony Ericsson phone, Christmas and O2
Back in November I purchased a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro Android phone as my daughter’s Christmas present. O2 had a limited offer on it at the time where you got an additional £20 voucher with it, so I snapped it up. When I received it, I took the phone out of the box, put [...]
No broadband, no home phone… welcome to O2!
It’s been quite a week. I’ve been using O2 broadband for a good few years now and have had no issues. Only recently I also moved my home phone to them as well and, so, when buying a new mobile phone contract it was O2 I went to (especially as they take £5 off your [...]
Amazing deal on Samsung Galaxy S II
My mobile phone contract is expiring soon and, in the middle of a house move, I’m trying to find ways to reduce outgoings. At first I was looking at getting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, as I knew that was reasonable affordable. However, for the same money I’ve now, amazingly, found the Galaxy S II. [...]
O2: Our Home Broadband prices are changing to… something
I’ve just received an email from O2, who provide my home broadband… Internet use has changed dramatically over the last few years and this is likely to continue. We need to increase our prices so we can still give you the level of service you’d expect from us. From 31 March 2011 Any discount or [...]
Happy New Year!
I’ve been strangely quiet over Christmas and New Year. It’s a time for family anyway, but a nasty bought of flu had me knocked off my feet for most of last week. Even now I’m suffering (particularly at night) due to a nasty cough. However, I’m relatively recovered and back to normality. A few things [...]
How to Max Out Your Mobile Internet Plan
Often hiding behind the incorrect usage of the word “Unlimited”, all the major UK networks are not unlimited. After O2 announced a 500MB cap this week, all the networks now have a limit. So, after some digging, here are those data limits (jn all cases they related to monthly contract plans)… Most of the networks’ [...]
T-Mobile & Poor Reception
Since getting my HTC Hero (sorry, T-Mobile G2 Touch), I’ve been plagued with poor reception problems at home. T-Mobiles map shows a very good signal strength for my area, but I’m often without ANY reception when indoors (and it’s a 70′s build semi, not a Victorian terrace with thick walls). It was never bad enough [...]

Fibre Broadband Options
It’s a while until my O2 broadband contract expires but, none-the-less, after all the issues I’ve had with them I’ll be keen to move on. It’s therefore worthwhile keeping an eye on the state of the market in the meantime. As I now have both cable and FTTC available to me it would seem churlish [...]
