They should have put GPS on there, probably more use than Wifi for a 'normob'?

Hold *, 3 & Green Handset buttons whole turning on. It will completely wipe the phone, but should get it working again.

All you had to do was take the RER B south towards Orly, two stops = St-Michel Notre-Dame. €1.50 each.

Re: Paying for parking with Verrus ain’t that easy

They send you text explaining the syntax ie: "Send LOCATION DURATION eg 7002 3. Add VRN to change car eg 7002 1 ABC123. To extend send DURATION only. Details at verrus.com". If you haven't already registered, I think you can do it via text - it certainly lets you change your card if it expires (or they decide to stop taking Amex, like they did earlier in the year).

Sky updates come via the satellite, not over the phone line. The only reason to hook it up is for Sky Box Office or if you have multiroom.

I use this for parking in Lincoln, just text HELP to 07950 080201. No messing around with IVRs or paying 0870 numbers.

When you go through the 3 checkout you get the following:

If you are already with 3..
* Get 50% off Mobile Broadband plans (except laptops)
* Get 50% off Wireless Router, when you have a Mobile Broadband contract
* Get 2000 3 to 3 minutes if you buy a second mobile

If you order a dongle under the existing customer offer with a router, it's half price. So it must be possible to order one on it's own or get it from a store?

It's been on the site for a few days, I ordered one on Friday - half price & should be here Friday.

It's probably hard coded to only use the three APN? Although it might be possible to flash it with unbeanded firmware, when available. There's a bit of info on the three site about configuring etc...

Power Monkey - charges just about everything, can top my phone up 3/4 times & it's quick to recharge from the mains or USB. Means you don't have to carry loads of chargers around too.
