Ok...here's another query which puzzles me (doesn't take much I know!) Why is it, when I go abroad taking my contract S3 and old PAYG Motorola...that i turn both phones on when I land and immediately Motorola finds the network (Movistar) but the S3 needs all sorts of jiggery pokery ie turn on> settings>more settings>mobile networks> then fiddle around while it searches for them and then choose the one I want? (which takes 5 minutes longer than the Motorola?)

See, I thought these Smartphones are meant to be just that..SMART, but this is annoying and I need an explanation please?? (I apologise for the technophobia but you can't fault my logic!) Smiley FrustratedSmiley Embarassed:smileytongue:

Quite so but you could 4 years ago when this thread was started.

Another good argument for sim free phones I guess?

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
