But then you'd own a Motorola, might as well buy a Skoda and your kids trainers with two stripes whilst you're at it

There's nothing wrong with my Motorola and the fact I'm payng £0 a month for my contact and not owing £500 to O2 for a phone puts me in a winning situation tbh. Runs stock android so no doubt you'd find no end of issues with it

Ovivo i'd imagine.

If you're after an expensive replacement, HTC One or Xperia Z1 if Android otherwise Lumia 920/925 for WP.
Cheap replacement, can't got wrong with a Moto G.

Given EE a call today. Gone for the S4. Costing me £136.52

EE wanted another £50 plus VAT on the iPhone 5s or i could have gone for a C for free.

It was between the S4 and iPhone 5s. I'm a little bored with iOS now.

Thinking a larger phone will be good when visiting family, checking eBay etc.

I created a thread on here about it but essentially they've got the 'Freedom' tariff which costs you a one off payment of £20 for the sim (£15 of that goes on as credit, like PAYG) and essentially you get a few hundred minutes and texts and around 500MB of data free everything month. Downside......you get a few adverts when your browse the net (only on mobile data, doesn't affect apps).

How do they do that? Is all your internet traffic routed though their servers?

They force you to a 'landing page' at the start of the browsing session, similar to using a WiFi hotspot like BT Cloud etc. The routing of traffic is no different to other networks though, ie - you still have to go through their network prior to reaching the internet backhaul.

It's brilliant. I've got a 750 meg data only sim and a talk/text/internet sim and they are great. Only small drawback is the lack of VPN support but I've sorted that out in my own little way

Doesn't VPN work using Ovivo? Even using standard ports?

Bit too big for me. Couple of my colleagues have these and rate them well.

S4 came today and the lady across the road took it in for me

I'm quite happy with it. Will probably sell it and get the S5 when that becomes affordable in 12 months time as i did with the iPhone.

Chargeable pads are a must i think if it doesn't increase the size too much
