Alfies’ Blog » Blog Archive » Transcend your mobile network
I’ve been meaning to get together a list of the applications I use to help me get out of the money grabbing reaches of my network for a while now, and since it’s monday, and we all need a bit of cheering up on a monday, please read on dear reader.
Worth a read — I am willing to bet that you, dear reader, have something to contribute, on account of being an experienced mobile industry veteran?
I’m half attracted by the Orange ‘unlimited’ gprs deal… I do a lot of moblogging with my MDA on T-Mobile. If I send one picture I’ve gone over my annoying data allowance for that day. I sent about 15 pictures today so goodness knows what they’ve billed me. However, a quid a day soon adds up to say £30 a month — at which point an ‘unlimited’ 3g card (or the sim card in the mobile) becomes tenable … it’s only £15 more at £45 per month. That’s unlimited (fair use) and 3g speed…
I haven’t yet got hold of the Opera Mini browser but I’m off to do that.
And unfortunately I STILL haven’t been able to use Mobileglu OR BuddyPing because I’m on Three. I almost impulse bought a Virgin Mobile Sony Ericsson today just so I could get access to proper services… although I wonder if they limit their internet access a la Three.
Anyway, I reckon Alfie should consider adding Jeff Jarvis’ SkypeIn redirect trick to his list.

There’s some good one’s out there you know, and the UIQ is pretty stable.
I do feel for you re phone nightmares - may I try and tempt you to the intuitive and elegant side of the force? IE - Sony Ericsson?

I really am open to be turned to the dark side, definitely.
I’ve always been a fan of Sony, ever since they brought out the Z1 or something — the one that had the answering machine ON the phone. That was genius!
