Listener email:
Hi Guys, have a question for you for the podcast. I’m on an economy drive at home and want to save some money and being a regular listener i think I’m asking the right guys. I have an iphone that it is out of contract and have dropped that down to the "simplicity 20" to save £25 per month. I make quite a few calls during the day to mobiles and have racked up a bit of a bill on my BT landline. O2 is rubbish where I live so ive bought a cheap crappy PAYG nokia for £15 from phone4u. What is the best PAYG deal I could get to phone mobiles for the smallest amount of my hard earned?
Any Ideas.
ALso (Q 2) Andy, as I have an iphone that is now out of contract and unlocked, Am I able to get a second PAYG sim for it from Orange or O2 so that I can do that Rebel sim card thing with my 3 MiFI. Could I just ask Orange to send me a sim for an iphone, activate it myself, then pop my original O2 sim back in as it has my main number in it?
Have a good show and don’t forget to press that big red button that says ‘Record’! Sorry, couldn’t resist it!Thanks, found it this week – Ed
Many thanks to The Stetz for the music

Re: HD2 still for sale? Don’t know if it means anything but the HD2 is still very much for sale in both O2 and Vodafone shops in my high street and a few others around here (near London). Also still available as a Vodafone Corporate phone. We order them through work, I have 2 in my stock cupboard! (actually i have one. I’m using it for….. errrrrm, long term evaluation testing….
BTW, currently giving Android on the TP2 a shot. I’ll let you know how it goes. Getting the files from here:
