    Why straight away. Why not wait until the 5th of April?

    Careful about leaving it to the lst minute. The porting process is not foolproof and problems do arise. With O2 which is the system ID are using we had a manual process to resubmit if it failed and that sometimes required a lot of intervention. I'd be moving by Sunday/Monday to ensure there is time to iron out any issues and be certain of keeping your number.

    Hardly surprising. They thought that 20,000MB was 20GB when i queried them on charging me for going over the data usage limit when i hadn't. They took several weeks to reply to any emails even after asking me to contact them that way.

    The customer service was appalling, totally clueless and untrained. Even when i sent them proof to back up any complaints i had with them they just weren't interested. No loss.

    Three have a switch offee for ID customers (via them or Carphonewharehouse) - 5eur per month for 12 months!

    Glad I checked in on this thread, just reading whats been going on since I last was on boards,
    cant go wrong, I think the Virgin Media offer to existing customers was 6 months, Im off to three, not sure how long this has been available but glad I didnt switch to anyone else and that was mainly going to be VM. Didnt want to leave it until the last minute, but preferred to have the date around the start/end of the month so I know when my billing is, will go looking into sorting this tomorrow instore as I dont think it looks like it can be done online.

    They only introduced this offer last week, the 23rd,I think.

    It is. From a mobile data point of view 1GB has always been 1000 MB.

    Not on any other network I've been on. I've always had exactly what was offered and a notification to tell me when I've hit my limit has always corresponded to usage down to the MB. Their website was atrocious too. Both minutes and texts were counted as MB's as well.

    Nah.

    Networks all work a bit/byte level so the metering follows suit (ATM cells are 53 bytes for example). If you top up with Three you'll see 2097152MB for the unlimited package (2TB). I suspect VF are the exact same (UI might perform rounding).

    The VF app at least shows the GBs as multiples of 1024MB

    Is there any way to contact the receiver? I got my update regarding the DD for the headset continuing but when the news originally broke, I cancelled my DD with the bank. Anybody else in this situation?

    1 GB = 1024 mb

    1024 X 5 = 5120

    Different networks do it differently. some take a GB as 1024MB, other 1000MB

    That would be a very small gigabyte!

    Show me one network that has 1GB=1000MB instead of 1024MB.

    They (the IEC) had to redefine this as most people don't think in base2 numbering.

    1 GB = 1000000000 bytes

    1 GiB = 1073741824 bytes

    Got a letter from Beauchamps today saying Tom Murray is liquidator of Carphone Warehouse looking for me to complete a DD form for the remaining €400+ in monthly payments of €30. Who do I get on to with to regard my phone Guarantee if something goes wrong with the phone now? Also there was an original message sent in early March from ID mobile for all Bill Payers that they would receive an email or letter before the end of march to arrange collection of payments for the phones. The liquidator told me I received an email the 29th of march advising my obligation to pay under clause 3.9 which I definitely never received.

    no emails i tried getting onto beachamps i would say about 7 different occasions then one evening at 5.27 my phone rings twice they hand up i call back and the girl Ruth who is dealing with this is unavailable, tried her 3 times since still no joy,

    Beachamps are worse to deal with by the looks of it than ID mobile themselves.

    no more emails or no more post.

    Another funny thing there collect the money for carphone warehouse, try ring them for information and they havent a clue either about it
