So many things in life these days relies on having a reliable phone service, such as two factor authentication for banking etc.
My current phone has two SIM slots so I'll be adding a second number to my phone but running on different network to SIM 1.

Also I don't have a landline any more.

And Lyca service has disappeared again this evening. Glad I made the decision earlier to jump ship.

I've had no trouble whatsoever with Tesco Mobile. The wife is on Giff Gaff and happy with that.

Yeah I'd seen that. The only way I could get a good deal on my broadband was to take their Volt deal with an O2 SIM I'll never use

Bloody zip on my Dainese leather jacket gave out when I tried to do it up at Tesco. Had to ride home with a big gap in it. Looks like I'm going to have to stump up to get the zip replaced. :smt022

**Edit** On the other hand - I may not!

Decided it was high time to give Hugh a wash and polish. Have not given him a clean so far this year so it was high time. Went for a spin this afternoon and found a five mile stretch of the A40 has just been surfaced, as I came down a slip road on to it with no way of turning back. Got showered in gravel several times as barstewards ignored the 20mph and no overtaking signs, but, worse, the whole bike is now covered in dust! It's near enough booze o'clock so let the self commiserations begin.

Just downloaded my latest credit card statement and discovered loads of dodgy transactions in the last couple of days. So on the phone to my card issuer to take the appropriate action. They were very good and were surprised that they didn't pick up these transactions. Anyhow card blocked and money refunded.
I learnt that these transactions were all Web based and none of them were "verified by visa". Apparently it's down to the merchant whether they want VbyV probably because its a cost to them.
No idea how my card details were picked up. I suspect it was while we were away and using hotel WiFi.

Glad you got your money back and got onto it fast. I'm always fearful of this but in saying that I get instant messages when any transaction happens on any of my cards. Do your banking apps allow this ?

No my banking app doesn't alert me, it's a bit basic. If I use the card with Google wallet then Google does.
To be fair my card supplier has always been very good when it comes to security and they have called me in the past if I've been paying for a large item which they think is suspicious.
I regularly check my activity via the app and hadn't noticed these transactions as they all happened in the last couple of days.

Check it's options it might be able to send push notifications.

I'm assuming the R/R is still going strong :)
