cheesemonster2005 4 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Why is my Mobile network status now O2 instead of Manx, only just noticed Let's hope that that means you can use it in the UK without roaming charges - but I doubt it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moral of the story... Be careful what person/company/website you give your number to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mission 1,108 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Thinking on about this, my landline was totally spammed by a number from across for a period of about 3 days last week (20+ calls). Like ans, I never answer my landline and everyone that knows me knows to ring on my mobile (which I always answer). Maybe it was the same crew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newman 0 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I guess this subject could carry on for days. but here is the quote"n fact, British Telecom (BT) - which owns Manx Telecom - is using the island as a test- bed" and the link to the site http://www.wirelessdevnet.com/channels/wireless/features/newsbyte22.html and another "Manx Telecom, a subsidiary of BT, is building an experimental network on the island. The project, costing many tens of millions of pounds, is the most advanced test of mobile phones in the world. It has 22 cell sites, with a plan to expand to 28, and advanced radio planning and billing software." and "The big problem with 3G remains how to pay for it. All the mobile phone networks see mobile data as being the answer but no-one has a convincing answer as to what people are going to use the data for. To this end 02 (nee BT Cellnet) which owns Manx Telecom has a developer arm called Expidas." link http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/March2002/2091.htm So is my information incorrect???

Amadeus 2,488 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 So is my information incorrect??? At least it's a little bit outdated: http://www.wirelessdevnet.com/channels/wireless/features/newsbyte22.html April 26, 2001 link http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/March2002/2091.htm 21st March 2000 O2 isn't owned by BT Edit - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4392036.stm UK mobile phone operator O2 has agreed to a £17.7bn ($31.6bn) takeover by Spanish telecoms firm Telefonica.
