What next? Straight bananas, circular cucumbers? The phone providers have been forced by the meddling eu burocrats to give up profits and stop charging extra for mobile roaming. It shouldn't be allowed. How will they feed their children, the poor shareholders, bereft of their hard earned profits.

I do love how EE presented this information to me in a text, as if they were doing me some sort of massive favour and being incredibly generous letting me know I wouldn't have to pay for my Euro data pass any longer when I go abroad to Europe, they somehow 'forgot' to mention they were actually being forced into it by the EU. edit - just to add of course there is no guarantee this will continue to be the case post Brexit as it is not a given it will be incorporated automatically into UK law as it's a 'directive' rather than something enshrined in EU legislation.

These phone companies are parasites riding on the back of the network that has been handed to them for free courtesy of the taxpayers. Piss-poor mobile signals anywhere in the countryside.

I aim to....... NO SERVICE AVAILABLE OK I'm just intrigued to know where these 'free, paid by the taxpayer' networks are? Being a network maintenance / upgrade & fibre optic splicer, working on the internet / mobile phone / tv networks for all the major uk players I'm obviously missing out on some Serious work out there! 😉

Try registering for something that relies on a code being sent to you by text message.
Yes I can run up the hill, get message and run back down again. Sometimes I can do this before the code has timed out sometimes not..........

By the way, the Witch screamed at 6am this morning - she screamed "It's a rat!" and was about to bash it with a windlass, but I said it's only a little water vole minding his own business, munching on a plant beside the paddle at Wardle Lock. Got some nice pics of it - to be posted here late August.

You're some 35years behind the times my friend, the 60 odd year old knackered clockwork internal switch network incorporating pulse dialling and shared services etc B T inherited was ripped out some 30 years ago.
The whole uk Internet, transmission, switch & mobile data networks are new (since then), paid for with hard cash raised by BT (the other operators piggyback / leech off it). The mobile masts/repeaters of other operators were built with their company money. Don't suppose you care to remember the £23 billion ...yes.. £23 billion free money the government pocketed in the early 2000's for the 3G licences auction from the major telcos, plus a further £4billion about 6 years ago for the 4G upgrade licences...
If you want cheaper prices and better service I suggest you write to Ofcom and ask why BT are legislated against undercutting the opposition and why other operators are exempt from having to put money into the pot to help 'fully fibre' the UK
But hey, why let the facts get in the way of another of your great misguided Daily Mail type rants!!😂😂 👍
