markie- | so the other day, i was just walking down the street and dropped my keys, bends over to pick them up, as i was doing it i caught a man checking out my behind.. | 02:38 |

SuperMatt | fascinating story | 05:22 |
brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:00 |
penguin42 | has anyone roamed with 3 recently on PAYG - the 2 guys in the Three shop couldn't quite agree on what was supposed to happen | 17:34 |
daftykins | heh | 17:40 |
daftykins | do you have 'feel at home' ? | 17:41 |
penguin42 | I *think* so | 17:42 |
daftykins | log into your account, might show up - i have a client with three right now and i think it shows up | 17:42 |
daftykins | unless you avoided having the account with PAYG :> | 17:43 |
penguin42 | I think it does show up when I login; the qeustion was whether you need to do anything else - apparently at one point you had to convert PAYG to Addons for it to work, but they think that's no longer the case | 17:43 |
daftykins | phone in? :> | 17:47 |
daftykins | ooh i saw my first new nokia 3310 in Dixon's Travel at Stansted just earlier today, funky | 17:47 |
* penguin42 guesses he'll find out in a couple of months when he travels | 17:48 | |
daftykins | client o' mine was hit by an outage across the whole of France on Wednesdayish which left him on his boat off the north coast unable to get a service XD | 17:49 |
penguin42 | ah yes I heard about that | 17:50 |
* penguin42 is going to be in Prague for a couple of days near the end of October - that's about the limits of my travelling | 17:50 | |
daftykins | ooh | 17:50 |
daftykins | tell you what's painful, i was just in England... 50p/MB data | 17:58 |
daftykins | we're not in the EU (Guernsey) | 17:58 |
penguin42 | ouch | 18:01 |
zmoylan-pi | probably don't even have ascii there yet... still on ebdic... :-P | 20:12 |
penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: They use fieldata - smaller bytes for a smaller island | 20:15 |
zmoylan-pi | this is a 7bit island and that's the ways we likes it... :-P | 20:16 |
popey | penguin42: i have a 3 sim which i only top up before I go out of the country. I just topped it up and went, didn't buy any addons because I couldn't figure out how | 21:07 |
popey | worked fine | 21:08 |
penguin42 | popey: Cool is that on 3-2-1 ? | 21:09 |
popey | uh | 21:09 |
popey | dunno | 21:09 |
penguin42 | and when you get somewhere-foreign what happens? I couldn't find anything on the website; but the guy in the shop said that you get a text telling you which network you should be on | 21:10 |
popey | i just enabled roaming data and off I went | 21:11 |
penguin42 | ok, thanks | 21:11 |
penguin42 | I used to be on T-mobile, theirs you got a text on landing saying something like 'go to this page and do this for 1 days/100MB data' at some silly amount (before the new rules) | 21:11 |
popey | oooh | 21:13 |
popey | logging into the my three website I see the "turn credit into an add-on" button i couldn't find before :) | 21:13 |
zmoylan-pi | is it there in all browsers? :-) | 21:13 |
penguin42 | popey: Ah now the guys in the shop were arguing about whether that was needed to roam on PAYG - but they checked their site and apparently not | 21:14 |
popey | clearly not as I roamed last month without doing it | 21:14 |
penguin42 | popey: Thanks | 21:14 |
zmoylan-pi | i used to dread heading north when your phone jumped networks and data/calls/text went to silly money... | 21:20 |
ali1234 | 3 backend infrastructure is terrible | 21:57 |
ali1234 | their login is broken half the time | 21:57 |
ali1234 | but you can't beat their prices | 21:57 |
penguin42 | ali1234: My experience with T wasn't that much better | 21:57 |
ali1234 | well that's because of orange tbh | 21:57 |
ali1234 | they were good before they merged | 21:57 |
ali1234 | i currently have two 3 sims, one for the phone and one for the laptop | 21:58 |
ali1234 | but the laptop one i can't activate because their activation website is broken | 21:59 |
ali1234 | invalid security certificate, and if you set an exception it still doesn't work | 21:59 |
penguin42 | sounds about right | 21:59 |
penguin42 | ali1234: Of course the only thing worse than the website of the phone companies are the people in the shops | 22:00 |
zmoylan-pi | i believe the correct method is to hack their website and fix it. then send them an email explaining how you did and get arrested... :-P | 22:04 |
penguin42 | I think you mean 'an invoice' | 22:07 |
penguin42 | actually talking of infrastructure, I forced one of the guys in the shop to check their website; I'm not quite sure how ancient their windows install on the shop machine is, but it seems to involve opening a citrix client and going to what looks like firefox labelled as something like 'online chat' and then going to their own site | 22:08 |
zmoylan-pi | then they set their rogue accountants on your account and you find a million wacky charges appearing forever... | 22:08 |
