EE and Currys have their data Nano SIM (iPad, MiFi, Dongle) deal back on offer. The deal is £10.99 a month, with the first month free and for that you get 5GB of data. It’s a rolling 30 day contract, so you can cancel at any time (giving …
This morning saw another landmark in the UK’s mobile network history. After the limited launch of 4G in Britain last year from EE there is now some competition in the form of Vodafone and O2, both of whom began the roll out of their super fast mobile data …
Three have now confirmed their 4G network will be available from December this year. As promised, unlimited data is still included if you already have it in your plan, a first for a UK 4G network. There’s no additional premium either, so existing Three customers don’t need to …
Tomorrow Voda and O2 will begin their 4G race for coverage, but EE grabbed a massive head-start and have now managed to cover 100 towns and cities with their LTE juice. Now, if you were EE and two big competitors were about to launch their 4G networks tomorrow, …
It’s safe to say that 4G hasn’t exactly set the world alight here in the UK. Although there’s obvious benefits, the lack of coverage, relatively low data limits and pricing has meant that most have chosen to stay on 3G. Why? Well, 3G is cheaper, and most people …
Most of the major networks have now announced their 4G pricing models. They vary a little but, with one notable exception, there is a premium for the new technology as well as limits. Data is the new king. No longer do we want more and more texts bundled …
We’ve seen a lot of noise from O2 and Vodafone about their new 4G plans and value-added content recently. Meanwhile, EE have taken to Twitter to ensure that everyone knows just how much of a head start they have. All these networks have one thing in common though, …
Well, better late than never, O2 have taken the wraps off their 4G pricing. There’s a heavy emphasis on content once again and, ijust like Vodafone, they’ll be dishing up music and sport content to 4G customers. The new 4G tariffs, which are detailed here, include SIM-only deals …
Thinking of joining Vodafone 4G? If you’re a sports fan then Voda have the answer. Picks the Sport Pack as your free option on a 4G plan and you’ll get FULL access to all Sky Sports services. The deal is on until 23:59 on the 18th August, so …
Although O2 announced their 4G service first, Vodafone look to be first with the price plan information. We’ve got all the details below and you can sign up to a 4G plan as of today. These are now live on the Vodafone website, over the phone and in …
Following the O2 announcement it now looks like Vodafone are ready to show their hand, with a 4G launch date of August 29th – the very same date that O2 will launch their 4G offering. So, in a little over three weeks you’ll be able to get 4G …
Remember how we ran a survey about 4G? Remember how you told us that extra speed really wasn’t a big deal? Well, now Ofcom have done a similar survey and they’ve reached the same conclusion. Just under a quarter have absolutely no intention of going 4G. It seems …
We all knew it was coming but, with EE stealing a March on their competitors, the other networks were keeping exact launch dates close to their chests. O2 appear to have broken ranks and is prepping for a launch on August 29th. Initially it’ll only be available in …
The day has arrived….. That magic day when you get your hands on with the object you have been lusting after since it was announced in all the glitz and glamour that go with product announcements. This device which is very firmly in the Phablet range with a …
EE today announced their financial results, but what they also announced a bit later on was that 10 more towns across the UK have had 4G switched on. This gives them 60% coverage just 9 months since launch. The 10 new towns which are now 4G enabled are: …
I’ve had 8 press releases this morning which play on the word “Prince”. The “Prince of sales” or paying the “Princely sum”. Yes, it’s a sure sign that my ex-girlfriend Kate Middleton has had a baby. Luckily she’s not asking for any maintenance as she’s decided to get …
As I’ve mentioned earlier I’ve switched networks recently and, whilst looking around, I checked into my usage habits. Streaming. That’s a big one. I love TuneIn because, put simply, every single station I find on FM radio is very samey and full of similar-sounding DJ’s saying similar-sounding things. …
We’ve been having a poke around the Vodafone blog recently. We’ve done this mainly because they stuck £4000 in our hands and told us too*, but there’s some pretty interesting posts about the future of smartphones and the networks they run on. In this post the Vodafone UIK …
The 4th of July. Truly a time to celebrate. Why? Double speed on EE 4G of course! 😉 The first UK 4G network is strapping a supercharger to their network and the following 12 cities and towns will see a significant leap in speeds as of today… Derby, …
Well the time is finally here. I’ve got chance to review the brand new Lumia 925. I have been waiting for this phone for a while and I’m very happy to bring you this review. I have already given the hardware a thorough going over in my unboxing and …
I think I have found it, the Windows Phone device that will draw me, a diehard Android user for the last 4 years to move over. Bold claim I know but one that I feel can be easily substantiated by the quality of this device. I have for a …
A good friend of mine is an EE customer and lives in London. He’s been a good mate for years now so I asked about his new EE 4G contract. Being in London he gets 4G all the time but it seems that the ‘double speed’ rollout is …
We’ve already reported on the testing being undertaken by at800 here in the UK. The networks have given them a stack of cash in order to find out the answer to one key question. Will 4G signals at 800MHz ruin our enjoyment of Loose Women, Dickinson’s Real Deal …
EE have sent a press release out this morning confirming that they’re 4G network has now passed the 500,000 customers. They are well on their way to hitting 1 million by the end of the year – a goal set by the company themselves. EE also highlight a few other …
Speed. Speed. I am speed. Yes, if you want to be the “Lightening McQueen” in the office then you could dress up and make “Vroom Vroom” noises or, instead, you could get some hard 4G action courtesy of EE. They have added a further 12 cities to their …
With the success of the Galaxy S4, selling 10 million units since launch, Samsung didn’t really need to do much else but rather than rest on their laurels they are going after the tough phone market as well with the S4 Active. Whilst pictures of it leaked last …
EE have just announced new 30 day rolling SIM-only contracts here in the UK. The new plans will allow access to the 4G network without the long commitment. Customers can then try 4G to see how it works for them and sign up to a longer deal with …
EE have apologised for the network issues that had lots of customers voicing their opinions on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter (not from their phones of course as data was the big issue). Data would be very hit and miss for a wide group of …
Everything needs to test in the real world and I don’t mean by squirting something into a monkeys face. I mean by flipping a big switch and seeing how many people complain. The airwaves in York are about to get busy. So who are are at800? They are …
On Voda? Waiting for 4G? Looks like you’re going to wait longer. The network wanted to get the 4G network started up either this month or next, but now it has been pushed back until September. This is almost a year after EE turned on their 4G network …
Television, the drug of the Nation. Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation. But hey, things are still looking good for the 800MHz tests that are being performed by at800. They’ve moved onto London and have also performed tests across Brighton. Everything so far is looking good, with no complaints …
Want to bust a 1GB monthly bandwidth allowance in just 8 seconds? 5G could be your answer, and Samsung have now achieved a speed of up to 1.056 Gbps for up to 2 kilometres, roughly 1.2 miles. Using a frequency of 28 Ghz they’ve used “adaptive array transeiver …
It’s looking like O2 and BT are getting quite pally in the 4G world. O2 got a slice of the 4G pie in the recent auctions, as did BT, but it looks like BT will be providing a large amount of infrastructure for the O2 4G network after …
Getting a fast car is great. You can beat people off the lights and smile as they stuggle to keep up. Trouble is, in the long run, you’re going to run out of fuel quicker and that guy you accelerated away from will end up driving past as …
The details for the first quarter of this year show that demand for the 4G network seems to be in line with company expectations. The 4G section has been in operation for five months now and, with 318,000 customers using the shiny new masts, they’re looking to hit …
Today EE have announced the launch of the UK’s first first next-generation 4G device, the Huawei E5776 mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. It’s a pretty regular Wi-Fi hotspot that allows up to ten wi-fi enabled devices to access the internet on the EE network. The difference, of course, is that …
Following pretty successful tests across the Black Country, the company responsible for checking that the 800MHz 4G doesn’t bleed into digital TV is now testing in London. This test is far bigger than the first and will squirt a 4G signal at 800MHz across 170,000 homes in Greenwich, …
According to Wikipedia EE have around 28 million customers in the UK. That’s Wikipedia numbers though, so I wanted to be sure about this before I started to write this article. The Q3 2012 financial figures seem to have a slightly different number.. … EE is the most …
With other networks (most notably Three) ramping up their existing 3G speeds, EE had to do something. Three are already offering speeds on their DC-HSDPA+ network of around 12Mbps and were keen to state that they’re not in a hurry with 4G because it would only offer customers …
We have been invited to The Royal Institution – Science in London where EE have an announcement to make around their 4G network here in the UK. There has been little information leak out about what this event is for and the only bit of information on the press invite …
