It was an unusually warm day today here in Blighty (well at least in this part). I have no ADSL at home at the moment and my parents' broadband was flaky (sort it out Sky, I'm switching to you too and won't put up with that!) What's a guy suppos...

Google Maps Mobile on SE W595

No pictures yet I'm afraid. Talking about being afraid, I was scared senseless at 3's The Darkside launch last night. Some mysterious force prevented my camcorder (with nightvision) from working. When I left my place yesterday my battery meter ...

GetJar partners with 3 UK

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 22:30:05 +0100

Just read this on IntoMobile - I think this is one of those things that gets announced a little while after it happened. GetJar has been prominently featured on Planet 3 now for a good few weeks (at least). I came across the excellent New York C...

Scotland's great!

...I say that even though my problem isn't resolved! Using a bit of the ol' grey matter I decided to choose the option for cancellations/upgrades when dialling 3 on 333 this time 'round. Bingo, straight through to Scotland! Nice chap, went out ...

Cupcakes were nice, a resolution to an issue would be nicer.

I've had enough of Mumbai. I want to speak to someone in Scotland or Maidenhead. What am I waffling on about? The fun and games that is trying to get something resolved when speaking to people in a call centre half a world away! On my 3 mobile...

Sister's in HK and I didn't give her a Skypephone... again!

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 22:02:28 +0100

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 Skypeph...

Got Mobile Mail working, just had to reinstall!

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:17:18 +0100

It's a less than an ideal solution, but it worked!

Push email isn't working on my phone. Bugger!

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 11:06:00 +0100

Oh how I'd like it to be working right now. I'm tidying up my parent's garden and am expected my sister who is in HK to contact me. We've already missed one email and a text message. I hope 3 sort it out as when their Mobile Mail is working it'...

Scamster, Jamster, Jamba, chumba whumba... 88888

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 23:43:48 +0100

Whilst I leave the fellas at mBlox, Hotwire PR and McGrath/Power alone for the time being as I'm focusing my attention on Jamba/Jamster. My latest mobile bill has three texts to the shortcode number 88888. As you can see from the scan below, the...

Latest merry-go-round... Jamster and 3 UK

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:08:54 +0100

I've wasted yet more time trying to get to the bottom of strange premium rate messages. This time they involve Jamster (aka Jamba) and amount to just 40p. Why waste so much time an effort for 40p? I'm beginning to ask myself that after two phon...
