Anyone know best prepay deal, am on Tesco 20 a month, 48's 20 a month is similar but you get 8gb as opposed to 5gb, whereas you get 1000 minutes as opposed to unlimited but I'd never use anything like a 1000 anyway?

Meteor's 20 a month prepay gives you unlimited calls and 7.5gb plus better coverage than Tesco/48 AND free monthly cinema tickets

Free cinema tickets? :eek:

There used to be an app for sending webtexts almost like regular texts. Pretty sure there still are and probably even better ones.

Yes but if you go with the twenty you get 400 free webtexts plus most folk use viber/whatsapp.

i'm on PAYG €10 a month 3g data only plan unlimited with meteor then I normally top up €5 extra for calls (I hardly make any calls on the mobile) and use free meter webtexts - I vowed years ago never to go bill pay ever again

Just got this today. Very happy so far but I know of people here in work who had to send theirs back!!

I would like Google Now and not Flipboard when I swipe left from the home screen, how does one enable this!?

Thanks,
Mark

Bill pay is a rip off, Is there any way of sorting your most used apps like on the vodafone turbo smart 4?

Webtext doesn't give a delivery report which I hate, most people I know don't use whats app, viber etc. I need real texts, unlimited calls and 5+GB data, so far Tesco is best for that.

I agree,
I am not a heavy data user as most of the time I am on wifi.
I to use Tesco, 15 per month is good for me
all calls. all texts and 1gb data.

Lol @ not using WhatsApp or Viber nowadays, honestly the best methods of keeping in contact with people, especially if you've a group of friends and setup group chats where you'll all have a laugh. Being able to easily share photos and other media easier than through text is also a big plus.

If coverage is important then I'd go the meteor route, and free cinema tickets every month is a nice bonus.

Also lonespeaker over on XDA has a bootable cm12 available for download, its not a daily driver yet but calls, texts and WiFi seem to be working. Great news for us su6 owners.

Laugh if you like but lots of people still don't use those apps and it some or most of your contacts don't then they're not much of an option...

That's their problem. Isn't basically every phone sold nowadays a smart phone? There's no excuse to not install WhatsApp or Viber, even the cheapest smart phones can use them.

No - it's a problem for the person who wants to contact them too.

Good point. Sending pictures, voice clips, directions/location is much quicker and easier with those apps. Even companies use them these days.

How about that Vodafone Smart Ultra 6? Great phone so it is.

It's a very good phone for the price its as quick as my old LG G2 and the battery life is nearly as good. I've had a few minor problems but nothing major eg. Snapchat (applying filters to snaps freezes the app) and when I lose three's coverage it keeps going into o2 2g mode and I have to manually force it to go back to the three 4g/3g network.

It is single sim only.

I find mine only jumps to the O2 network if im in my underground carpark, and is quite quick to jump back to three once I'm outside again. But it is still a great phone, I've had mine since the start (ish) of August (not long I know) but all going well.

Mine also moves to O2 when it can't fine the Three network. But it moves back again straight away.

The most annoying part of it is it thinks O2 is roaming so it blocks my internet access. Come on Three. Why can't you just merge the two networks??

But this is a network issue not a phone issue. I'm very happy with the phone itself.

I've just put mine up on adverts with some accessories (7 coloured cases & tempered glass screen cover)...
I've been debating about it for a while but the icing on the cake was the last two weekends I went to two different weddings & left it in the car as it's just too big to fit into any bag I have & no pockets in dresses!

I REALLY love this Fone, it's the best one I've had in 4 years including the s4 even when it was brand new!! But not having it with me when I'm doing stuff kinda defeats the purpose... Was the same deal at a few outings over the time I've had it!
No fotos & missed calls & texts!!

If there was a 5 inch version with the same specs I'd be so happy! Ah well back to the quest for the right Fone! Would be perfect for someone with pockets or a bigger bag!

If anyone on here is interested, priority & discount given to boardsies as I have you guys to thank in the first place, unlocked of course & has box & receipt, pm me if interested

SOLD!! Got the asking price within a few hours, thanks for all the messages!
