You can download the Skype app and make very cheap calls. We do it for all those 0845, 0800 numbers which you pay stupid money for as the fall outside of your allowance.

briggaman Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Have any of you tried watching films (or tv shows) from your iPhone on a tv? I'm thinking of getting the composite cable that Apple sell. It would allow me to watch things from my iPhone on tv wherever I am. Plus I am hoping it would work on both older and newer tv's. If anyone has tried this then it would be great to know if it works. Also, does anyone know if it would work straight away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 So I've done a little reading thanks to google about this 750mb 'unlimited' data allowance on Orange. Does anyone have any more information on this? It seems a rather low allowance in this day and age. I was going to get an iphone and use applications such as spotify/last.fm and youtube. But I'm concerned that if I do hand over my money and find out I can't use them to their full potential then I am wasting my money. Will they cut me off if I go over my 'allowance' or reduce the speed etc... Seems very off putting to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Why not just go with O2? You can keep the same number and you get a better deal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 How much different is the coverage quality between o2 and orange? If its relatively the same then I will swap to o2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mine up and running and it is much easier to use than the Blackberry, so pretty impressed! I appear to have problems hooking it up to the Audi MMI, as I did with the BB, but I can't work out whether that is incompatibility or just my age (!) So for my motoring needs it looks like I'll struggle on with the dual sim and the old Nokia that everyone takes the mickey out of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife has chosen the next one today, and it's an Audi, so not rated in the Clarkson world :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Guys I have Iphone insurance with 02 as does my brother with Orange. My home insurance is up for renewal, is it worth getting personal contents insurance and bundling it all in to get a better deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCLaura Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ping Lite is a good free app, you can message other iphone users and it has push notification. (Drains battery though of course) - I reduced my tariff and went over on text messages, so it will be good to save a few messages with friends who also have the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCLaura Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Natwest app is good, although I'm sure I only put my mobile number in and my account appeared, I didn't give them any bank details - this can't be safe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Have been offered an upgrade, shall I get the 3Gs? I've not taken too much notice about it, who has it here? Battery life? Speed? etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed? etc Moi. Battery life is fine for me. Can last about two days with moderate use (without a single charge inbetween) if I want it to. The speed is good too, although I didn't have the 3G to compare it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Battery life on 3G with moderate use lasts about a day and with heavy use about 16 hours. What is the picture quality like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
