Kudos to the team at o2 who’re having a bit of fun and spreading the lurrve this Valentine’s Day through a series of personalised video messages from ‘Cupid’. There’s a hot Cupid (look out, ladies) and there’s a panto-dame-style Cupid — have a watch of his introduction and explanation: It looks like the Cupid service [...]

T-Mobile’s Full Monty price plan: Unlimited everything — it’s brilliant and it’s the way ahead
For a long time I’ve been banging on about mobile operators simply not ‘getting it’. One of the key points I’ve been keen to assert is that dicking about charging me stupid little pennies (or, actually, huge lumps of pennies) for calls, texts and so on, was a total waste of time and resources. In [...]
Watch how this one plays out: o2 sending mobile numbers to every website you visit
There’s a mini firestorm brewing this morning around o2 UK. Earlier this morning, Matt Brian over at The Next Web broke the story about a ridiculously shocking privacy breach by o2. Here’s a bit of Matt’s story: If you reside in the UK and you are one of the millions of subscribers to mobile operator [...]
Operator Innovation: What would happen if an operator actually thought like Apple?
It’s been a little while since I sat down and wrote an operator innovation post. Today I’m doing a lot of speculating. I’m wondering just what it will take for true, exciting services to be offered by an operator. I don’t mean unlimited texts, or fancy calling plans — I mean absolutely new products and [...]
Complete: 16 minutes on the call with 3UK to cancel my old iPhone 4 account
So I estimated it would take about 20 minutes for me to cancel my old iPhone 4 account. I wasn’t far off! It actually took just under 17 minutes to complete the termination. (You can read the background here.) The chap I spoke to in “Customer Options” — I think it was called — was [...]
Freephone cross network voice shortcodes: Not so fast!
You could be forgiven for assuming after the recent announcement from MIG, that free or zero-rated voice shortcodes are now fully available in the UK. At least, that’s what I thought when I read MIG’s news (which we featured on our press release news site, Mobile News Today). Alas I hear from various sources in [...]
3UK customers knocked back a massive 80TB of data on New Year’s Eve 2011
I’ve got news in from 3UK that you might want to have a look at. Instead of doing the re-writing thing, I reckon their update deserves publishing in full. Here we go: Smartphones and Facebook helped to drive a massive 500% surge in New Year’s Eve handset data in just 12-months, according to mobile firm [...]
o2 is eating it’s own dog food with “Joined Up People” enterprise offering
Kudos to o2 Enterprise. The team specialises in helping enterprise organisations embrace flexible working. Instead of simply knocking out a few whitepapers, the company has taken a different path. It’s embraced the flexible working ethos itself! Here’s a quote from their story [PDF]: We’ve been on a journey. We’ve saved millions. We use hundreds fewer desks. We’ve changed [...]
Telefonica Digital is heading to Regent Street
I think the Telefonica Digital team are winning when it comes to office locations. You’ve got most of Vodafone and Everything Everywhere camped out at Paddington whilst — as far as I know — 3 still dominates the Maidenhead skyline. Yeah: Telefonica guys, you’ve won out. Being based at the bottom of Regent Street right [...]
Is Netflix about to be a real problem for the UK’s mobile operators?
I signed up for Netflix this morning after reading Matt’s post over at The Next Web. It’s just £5.99 a month. I’ve used the service in the States a few times and was very impressed. Today’s UK launch is rightly generating a lot of excitement — and given there’s a 1-month free trial (you do [...]
