If you get the three plan Netflix doesn’t come out of your data so in effect it would use none. I dont know how much it would use otherwise

I’ve got this problem now since I got the cataract surgery. Distance vision is great (for the first time in my life) but I can’t read at all now without reading glasses.

Have a look at ThinOptics. I’ve got a full frame pair attached to the back of my phone in a very slim case and another set of folding specs on a key ring.

They’re not cheap but great design.

for those peoplethat are addicted to their phone how much data do you use a month?
Oh no Bib! Watch your back, Paypal CEO's are coming for you


I average about 6gb, mainly listening to music over the air wavays and rendering hi-def sv650.org animations

Giffgaff 10gb a month (£10), unregistered SIM , VPN, I still have some of the privacy you desire - in fact I've been guising myself as you for quite a few years so I'll have to change that now.

Her-in-doors bought me one about a month ago. Not made a call or sent a message on it yet. Used it to check the weather a couple of times.

It might help if I actually gave the number out but even if I do I rarely have it with me, and on two occasions the battery has been flat anyway.

Before retirement my company phone was always with me, and almost in constant use - calls, messages, emails, Whatsapp.

Hate the things with a passion.

Im with voxi as it happens but I don't quite know if setting as a hotpot to share the 4g will be counted as one of the data free apps.

I can watch Prime Netflix Youtube and others in pretty much interrupted 1080p all day long though. I've been with them a while so I've earned myself an upgrade to 20GB/mo and the unlimited socials/Video addon for £15mo, rarely use more than 2gb these days

cheers peeps. looks like i'll just have to try and see what happens when i get my sim.


weird thing is i have two 02 payg sims here and each one has been rejected and when i tried them in a normal (dumb) phone they also never registered. they worked before i put them in the new smartthing.


dont like the card drawer...

Think Sims get deregistered if ununsed or activated for 6 months
