penguin42has anyone roamed with 3 recently on PAYG - the 2 guys in the Three shop couldn't quite agree on what was supposed to happen17:34
daftykinsheh17:40
daftykinsdo you have 'feel at home' ?17:41
penguin42I *think* so17:42
daftykinslog into your account, might show up - i have a client with three right now and i think it shows up17:42
daftykinsunless you avoided having the account with PAYG :>17:43
penguin42I 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 case17:43
daftykinsphone in? :>17:47
daftykinsooh i saw my first new nokia 3310 in Dixon's Travel at Stansted just earlier today, funky17:47
* penguin42 guesses he'll find out in a couple of months when he travels17:48
daftykinsclient 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 XD17:49
penguin42ah yes I heard about that17:50
* penguin42 is going to be in Prague for a couple of days near the end of October - that's about the limits of my travelling17:50
daftykinsooh17:50
daftykinstell you what's painful, i was just in England... 50p/MB data17:58
daftykinswe're not in the EU (Guernsey)17:58
penguin42ouch18:01
zmoylan-piprobably don't even have ascii there yet... still on ebdic... :-P20:12
penguin42zmoylan-pi: They use fieldata - smaller bytes for a smaller island20:15
zmoylan-pithis is a 7bit island and that's the ways we likes it... :-P20:16
popeypenguin42: 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 how21:07
popeyworked fine21:08
penguin42popey: Cool is that on 3-2-1 ?21:09
popeyuh21:09
popeydunno21:09
penguin42and 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 on21:10
popeyi just enabled roaming data and off I went21:11
penguin42ok, thanks21:11
penguin42I 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
popeyoooh21:13
popeylogging into the my three website I see the "turn credit into an add-on" button i couldn't find before :)21:13
zmoylan-piis it there in all browsers? :-)21:13
penguin42popey: 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 not21:14
popeyclearly not as I roamed last month without doing it21:14
penguin42popey: Thanks21:14
zmoylan-pii used to dread heading north when your phone jumped networks and data/calls/text went to silly money...21:20
ali12343 backend infrastructure is terrible21:57
ali1234their login is broken half the time21:57
ali1234but you can't beat their prices21:57
penguin42ali1234: My experience with T wasn't that much better21:57
ali1234well that's because of orange tbh21:57
ali1234they were good before they merged21:57
ali1234i currently have two 3 sims, one for the phone and one for the laptop21:58
ali1234but the laptop one i can't activate because their activation website is broken21:59
ali1234invalid security certificate, and if you set an exception it still doesn't work21:59
penguin42sounds about right21:59
penguin42ali1234: Of course the only thing worse than the website of the phone companies are the people in the shops22:00
zmoylan-pii believe the correct method is to hack their website and fix it. then send them an email explaining how you did and get arrested... :-P22:04
penguin42I think you mean 'an invoice'22:07
penguin42actually 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 site22:08
zmoylan-pithen they set their rogue accountants on your account and you find a million wacky charges appearing forever...22:08
