An old red Monster just went past sounding right. The rider was wearing shorts. I can criticise, but here, that’s just how it is
My left behind Android phone didn't, I don't think. It was terrible with that just working without messing me about attitude that it had. It was so much worse than the Apple that when I get home, the Apple retires to a desk draw on permanent divert.
I've arrived home from Spain (awful trip back on various ShitRail offerings). We stopped at various tiny stations on account of previous train cancellations. Tiny stations with nobody waiting and nobody getting off as we where never going to stop there in the first place. What really pisses me off is when stopping at small stations (like mine) you have to be in certain carriages, as the train is too long for the station. Would it take a Rocket Scientist to work out that the trains need to be shorter. but just more frequent. The announcer omitted to say this is all being done on the cheap, in order to boost profits so we can pay French Railways a bigger dividend. This is all so wrong! Railways should not be privately owned in order to make profits for shareholders, who primarily are like SNCF, are foreign shareholders looking to rip the British public. A railway is a public service and not a profit centre. Puts me off the whole thing. Going by train to Plymouth, the ferry and not sure about Spain. Well, Spain is OK (but odd), but just going there by ferry and train. I drive to Worcester in a few weeks and was going to fly to Madrid later in the year. Not sure about it now. Maybe. The iPhone was shit coming back. It's now retired somewhere (I don't actually know where it is) but some of the problems (well, all of them!) were maybe due to its inability to cope with crap WIFI - it just gives up, disconnects and forgets about it. It may be thin and light, but it is useless. My other main phone was a Samsung S20 Ultra. If I go to Madrid, or anyway where I have to carry luggage about. I won't bother take the iPhone - too much hassle. I will call O2 next week in order to discover the crac of limiting the data allowance to 1 gB on the iPhone, whereas my Samsung other number has 20. That was just mean. Well, I'll get the data allowance sorted out and I'll take it to Worcester (I drive) and it can stay in the car. The camera is good, but possibly too good and Apple always want to eat data by copying, backing up, or any excuse to copy the photos to somewhere on the internet.
right! The phone data allowance has been sorted out to 30 gB. As I type this the phone is pinging away but I've talen as much as I can stand for one day (my O2 tolerance level is ZERO!) That has committed me to another two years of O2, but it was always my choice to go with them as the network coverage at Bath P & R car park and here, in Berkeley, was shit with anybody else. So, hopefully that's me done and I CAN take the shitto iPhone to Spain, but now I am not going until next Spring. And because the iPhone now has a reasonable data allocation, I promise that I will stop calling it a pile of shit! HONEST GUV!!!!
The O2 network is used by all the following: giffgaff Sky Mobile Tesco Mobile Chattr Conditions vary, but its entirely fair to say that all the above provide the same signal for a lot less money. O2 Service rating with accounts problems, billing, and over the phone help is 1.4 out of 5 which is abysmal. Perry you may not care about the money, but you do care about the service... I don't know of any reason to take up a 2 year contract with any 'phone supplier, with built in increases, but you could educate me? You have 14 days to cancel a new O2 contract penalty-free if you purchased it online, over the phone, or at your doorstep. If you bought the phone or SIM in an O2 physical store, you do not automatically have a cooling-off period. You can have O2 network with great service for less money and no contract. Think it over (or not).
FYI Perry, I discovered by accident, there’s an attribute on iPhones whereby data is automatically moved over the 5G network if the WiFi connectivity is poor (eg in a hotel where they provide the minimum bandwidth yet have a significant number of devices trying to use it). This possibly explains why the iPhone chewed through your miserly 1Gb of data even though you thought you were on an Internet connected wifi network. You can obviously adjust the settings to suit your needs.
It is done. FINISHED. FINITO, SORTED, CLOSED, FORGOTTEN! My tolerance is very limited with ANY mobile phone supplier. I just wanted it sorted out and now it is. When I go to Madrid, I can take the iPhone and no other phone. The most important thing was to keep my main mobile number that I've had since I started with mobile phones with Vodafone, over thirty years s ago. Now that it is sorted, the last thing that I need is to start discussing keeping the number with Tescos. I avoid the place.
OK, one last time, otherwise the iPhone goes: I just cannot deal with this shit! If I cannot get the photos out in any sensible way, the phone is junk. If on Monday, I am still in this position, I will call O2 and ask for a SIM with my main number. I will either treat myself to a new Android, oe use an old one. The photos are saved as *.heic This format is unknown anywhere but in the world of Appleshit. I get them off the phone by emailing them to myself. Sometimes it works, when Apple ignoreS my instruction to mail as an attachment, but sends me the picture in the email and sometimes it flounces and nothing is emailed. WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT!!!! Anyone know how to stop this shit? I don't want the files in this weird format, but jpg, BY DEFAULT!!!
Just playing. All Android and guess what? It just works!! Ooh I know that the quality is disgraceful. Oh dear, what a pity, never mind. And the registration document arrived in the post today!
