Hi guys Gareth,Andy James etc. (Umm ... Matt!)

I always listen to your podcasts,keep up the great work.

I have a sony erriccson c905 and this year,last month had an upgrade(02) and

now have unlimited internet data.

The phone is fine when i am only looking on websites,but if i were to go on

you tube and try and play a video it will not play.

Also on the phone is the bbc iplayer and if i wanted to watch bbc1 etc it

says about having the wifi turned off,which it was. 

Why can i not watch any videos or live stuff.

On you tube in red writing at top says VIDEOS DISABLED BY OWNER,I to my

knowledge have no idea what this is or what it means

but would like to know how i can enable it.

Thank You. 

Amin

Hi guys, nice podcasting I listen to the 4 of you as I do my weekly cleaning.

I love mobiles as much, if not more than you ... in fact i think i'm a bit
obsessed. Keep going with the podcasts and keep the site news coming!! I have
noticed until yesterday that the amount of news on your site has reduced to only
updates every 3 days or so.. nice to see more news coming now.

I thought you may be able to help with with an issue I have had ... maybe

answer it on the podcast? or not? I can't be the only person with this issue
though...

Anyway just over 6 months ago I moved from O2 to Vodafone and ported my

number to a 12 month contract. I did this and moved from a Iphone to a HD2... I
don't remember having any issues with the HD2 although I didn't have it for long
and generally use my phone for data rather than voice. Since then I moved back
to an Iphone (still on voda) and noticed a problem. If I had a 3g connection and
tried to make a call the call failed  9/10 times or may ring once then cut off.

I thought it was probably the phone... and me being me moved to a Milestone

(same issue)... then I moved to a Nexus One (same) then Iphone (still the same)
.. then Nokia N900 and still had the same issue.... I called Vodafone and they
said they changed some settings but it made no difference. I called again and
they sent me a new sim card but it made no difference.

I have now (thanks to Andy) cancelled my Vodafone contract early and moved to

Giffgaff... I have ported my number. I thought this might sort the issue but its
still happening. 

I have now ruled out the phone.. I have tried a network change and i have

gone through 3 sim cards. 

The only thing that has stayed constant is my number. 

So.. the question is... why when i try and make a call (and it seems to be

when i'm on 3.5g hsdpa) do I get a network busy signal when i try to make a call
and what should I say to the network when I call them?

Hope you can help.. 

Chris.

Just a short e-mail to let you know I enjoy your show.
Things have changed a
bit in the line-up over the last few years and I think its great to see the
Modaco guys getting some discipline and regularity in their braodcasting
lives.
Anyway, I was wondering about this great offer from 3 in the UK: a
MIFI device for 70-ish pound sterling. Does it really work with a rebel SIM? I
want to use it on the t-mobile 3g network in Amsterdam, do you think it will
work? How did you set this up for Edward? Is he happy (with his MiFI)?
Met
vriendelijke groet / Kind Regards,
Benjamin van Ruyssevelt
