My sister is halfway through a business trip to China, Hong Kong and Vietnam. Right now she's in HK and I'm kicking myself that I didn't loan her a Skypephone. That's the second time I've forgotten since getting my hands on a pair of 3's Skypephones last year. After her recent trip to New York,...
Vodafone spammed me again on the cellphone. Scotty, when you get to New Zealand, do not sign up with these idiots. They never do anything right. To wit: Ladies and Gentlemen: Please see the thread below for the dialogue that has got us to this point. I vehemently dislike cellphones and consider them...
Amazon will soon be selling the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) in the EMEA territories - this should include the UK. The OLPC, from what I've seen of it (I'm probably one of the lucky few in the UK that have seen one in the flesh!) is a fantastic machine. The design and the thought that went behind it...
What more can I say? Other than I'm sure they've visited more than twice (that's just their HQ in Plano, Texas). It's handy enough that they get listed as the ISP as if they didn't it wouldn't be imediantly clear who they were.
I rang up David Shepard and spoke to him. He claimed not to be David Shepard and was reluctant to give out any details. Now, to be honest that's understandable. I, a total stranger, ring him up and tell him I'm recording the message (if I were him I'd have hung up there) then avoid giving my own...
They knew Spread Media were as dodgy as a £6 note (well they ought to have as they both got fined at least twice before together) and yet they continued. Be interesting how much they're willing to compensate me and how many others got ripped off (especially those that have no idea!). I don't think...
Oh yeah, this is a keeper. How they got my email address is another question... Oh wait, it's on my blog! The email address is used almost exclusively for my VOX blog and I didn't give it out to mBlox or PhonepayPlus in any dealings with them. Now if someone can check out the IP addresses for me,...
Normally I recommend 3. They have the best deals, cheap internet and some fine handsets. And despite what you may hear from some naysayers, their coverage (at least in areas where I used it - London and the South East) knocks spots of the competition. Why would I not recommend them now? Well I'm...
Well, well. Fraudster David G Shepard (I call him G as that's "street", I think it stands for gangsta) is up to his old tricks again thanks to a Bud. That's Andrew Maurice Gordon Bud (or as I like to call him, The Regulator). For those not up to speed, he's the head honcho at mBlox (which incidently...
My first recording of a phone conversation hasn't gone swimmingly. Too much feedback from using my phone hands-free with 3's CS (on 333). Did manage to record some nuggets though, including the guy saying 3 didn't get a cut from the £1.50 charge (that's the amount I'm getting ripped off each time I...
The mobile phones have become essential in our lives. Unlike any other multi-functional gadgets, the developments in this front has been quite amazing. Besides being the communication medium, these handsets provide information as well as multimedia capabilities at the click of a button. However, to...
Here's an example of an SMS that VFNZ sends re iminent 3G data cap blowout. The new VFNZ casual data daily allowance of 10MB for $1 is certainly a huge step in the right direction - great for email, RSS, & a bit of web surfing - but avoid downloading Youtube videos - as you'll blow your daily cap in...
Ben, Betty and Kiki Van der Burg came to SF today to purchase all the really, really inexpensive goods in America. The Euro is so strong, Ben bought 3 $2,000 suits on Rodeo drive when visiting LA earlier this week (actually the suits were discounted by 70%, but still $600 each, but significantly...

Until today my sister (she's the one with the folder next to Ms Hilton) was a fairly happy, loyal customer of Vodafone. She's been with them for a decade or so, spending £60 odd quid a month (and over the £100 mark when out of the UK). Her phone packed up on Thursday and she's been in desperate...
This is a very cool ad that has been playing on NZ TV for a few weeks. Enjoy!
This May Be the First Man on the Planet to Get an iPhone 3G The guy grinning in this photo is called Jonny Gladwell, and he's from Auckland, New Zealand. Why's he grinning? He's first in the queue at the Auckland Vodafone shop. And due to the timings involved, that should make him the first person...
That's what it will cost you to use an iPhone in New Zealand on the only "practical" plan being offered by Vodafone. Three plans offering either 250MB, 500MB, or 1GB of data per month, with the last being $250 per month on a 24-month contract. Apple has designed the iPhone to be *used* ... not to...
