Although mobile plans in the UK are incredibly good value for money compared to our cousins over the Atlantic in the States, they still have the benefit of shared plans for families. Here, shared plans have always been restricted to businesses. Thankfully that’s about to change. EE – the UK’s only 4G carrier – has announced the first shared plans….
So far in the UK, the only carrier offering 4G LTE is EE, so it’s fair to say it has the monopoly on the high speed 4th generation network market. But it won’t remain that way for much longer. The UK’s most popular carrier (before T-Mobile and Orange joined forces), Vodafone has announced that it will be hitting the big red button on its 4G network this…
EE’s arrival and subsequent growth in the UK market has been nothing short of phenomenal. It’s taken very little time for the network provider to go from 0-50% 4G coverage in Britain.

It has emerged today that BT plans to launch its own-branded 4G network in the UK, with a launch within the next 12 months “highly possible”.

It seems every couple of months one retailer or carrier makes its plans more appealing to keep business away from its competitors. That said, the iPhone is still one of the nation’s most expensive phones. Even older generation models like the iPhone…
The image above was captured by a Vodafone employee and promptly sent off as a leak to Stuff magazine, and then later picked up by Pocket-Lint. It’s fair to say, it’s doing the rounds. And, although it’s being reported by many sites that it signals that Apple will be skipping “5S” and going straight to “6″, it shouldn’t be taken as confirmation of…
EE’s 4G network rollout in the UK has been nothing short of blistering. Including today’s new towns and cities, the company has gone from 0-62 cities and towns since the end of October. Today’s new LTE sites are: Aylesbury, Berkhamsted, Billericay, Blackpool, Brentwood, Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Lytham St. Annes, Marlow, Pontefract, Thame, and…
Following a string of In-App purchase stories and scandals, Apple’s In-App purchase system is to face investigation from UK watchdog agency the Office of Fair Trading.
