Maybe one of the European networks might be interested but they are all way more expensive than we are in UK so that's not good either.

Hmm, it must have been a bit later than that then.... I would have been 6/7 in those years and don't think I'd have had a mobile as early on as that 😛

The Genie brand ran until 2006 when Telefonica bought it from BT.
