    Or train tickets - less than a days billing for a months ticket to London so not worth it.
    And don't claim subsistence, it's only a couple of quid a day, and again, comes from company coffers.
    I claim for my phone & my train tickets but unlike yourself I don't think I can actually make money out of putting the phone through my company. With the amount of complete tulipe it you spout I'm doubting anyone would actually pay you a day rate.

    You and suity should do some laurel and hardy routine together.

      Do I think I can retire off it? No.

      Do I think I can save a bit of money for very little effort, so may as well? Yes.

          You seem to be getting quite wound up for something that doesn't really affect you.

          Is it bad advice to say "there's a way to save a little money"? Does this advice, whether you choose to take it or not, impact on you or your money?
          Is the advice wrong - will it cause others who rely on it to suddenly find they owe HMRC money?

          No in all cases? Then calm yourself.



          Or just **** off.

            I mostly agree with soupy.

              You can be really unpleasant at times.

                  Still on the phone to three trying to get a pak code. Jeez I've dumped bunny boilers easier than this.

                  WTF can technical support do? Install a mast over the weekend?

                  And no I don't believe a 6 week signal outage can be due to a bug on my phone.

                  And if it is a 3G outage because you are upgrading your infrastructure to 4g then 6 flipping weeks is a bloody long outage, so I'm off anyway

                    Got the pak codes. Then asked if I would wait for technical support to diagnose why my phone gets no signal in London.

                    Root cause? Transmitter outage. For at least the 6 weeks I've suffered it. Any resolution date? No.

                    So this is a major mobile phone network, with a mass outage, in the square mile, for over 6 weeks and still no resolution date?

                    Yep, bye.

                      As I said on the other thread about mobiles that doog started I have been with orange for 13 years and quite happy, transmitter at my house fooked up at xmas and have been having problems since, orange do not want to know and keep repeating the advert line that they have the best signals in the country.

                      having a month rolling sim and the ability to just move when you hit a problem is far easier than dealing with the network.

                      Anyway, I moved to 3 on Monday but they still have not moved my number as of last night when I stuck the sim in, they sent me a text saying that they would mail me but have not done so, ill have to chase that now. I can see myself moving to 02 next month.
