I'll settle for the iphone5 or is that me just being greedy?

MMMmmm, pies or iPhone - pass the plate please!

Take the iPhone then sell it and buy a load of pies
Second thought - send me the same number of pies as comments on the O2 blog - I should be quids in

Looks like they are all at it:-

Trusted partners
O2 said that the limited sharing of numbers was "standard industry practice".
In a statement Everything Everywhere confirmed: "When Orange and T-Mobile customers use their mobile phones for general web browsing no customer information, such as mobile phone numbers, is shared with the website.
"As is the case with all mobile operators in the UK, Orange and T-Mobile customers can visit a small number of trusted partner websites where transactions can take place, such as purchasing ringtones. In order to complete the purchase or download customers pay via their Orange and T-Mobile accounts and hence mobile phone numbers have to be made available to these sites."
In a statement Vodafone said it pursued a similar policy adding that it only shared numbers with approved Vodafone UK partners who were "subject to security checks to ensure they conform to our stringent requirements around protecting our customers' privacy".

I am outraged! I've not read this but I'm still outraged!
I'm going to write an angry letter using my green crayon.

I liked this comment on the Blog.
I have to say that this trusted partner fuss, its the result of O2 failing to be learn the lessons of the bango. net controversy.

I think this 'mistake', for want of a better word, has been a good thing. It has brought to light an industry wide practice that may have otherwise gone uncovered.

It was all brought to light with the Age verification storm, that made it to the news.
