  • Buying a Mobile Phone
    Buying a mobile phone Getting started A SIM card is the small chip that goes into mobile phones allowing the phone to connect to the local network. Making calls in the UK using your own international SIM card is likely to be expensive so you might want to buy a new SIM or buy another mobile phone with a SIM included. It can sometimes be cheaper to buy an international calling card that will let you make calls home from a landline, mobile phone or phone box. You can buy calling cards from the newsagent’s shop opposite the Parkinson Building. Currently, when using a UK SIM, you will not be charged extra fees to use your UK allowance of minutes, texts or data plan when in countries within the European Economic Area (EEA). Some providers may also have offers for usage in other countries such as the US, so look out for this. There are two different ways to buy a mobile phone: pay-as-you-go or a contract. Please read the following information carefully to see what you will need to get started. Pay-as-you-go You can get a pay-as-you-go mobile phone or SIM card very quickly and it is easy to keep track of how much you are spending on calls. You can buy credit online, in supermarkets, newsagents, petrol stations and at some ATMs. You will also find a free pay-as-you-go SIM card for Lebara mobile in your Welcome Pack that includes £1 pre-loaded credit. You may be able to buy a SIM card in the UK and use it in your own phone from home.

  • Broadband and Mobile
    Benenden Parish Plan Communication: Broadband and Mobile Issue 1.1 03/05/2014 Benenden Broadband and Mobile Key Points Broadband Introduction of Superfast Broadband should be complete by March 2015. 96% of postcodes within the TN17 4xx Benenden exchange area will attain Superfast Broadband speeds (25 Mbps and above) Only BT and Talk Talk have their own broadband equipment in Benenden Exchange providing maximum speeds of up to 24 Mbps. Other ISPs use a BT Wholesale connection enabling service at either 24 Mbps or just 8 Mbps (e.g. Sky) WiFi Broadband may be available for some households in Benenden from CallFlow and VFast 4G Mobile services will enable broadband comparable speeds beginning in Benenden during 2014 Poor broadband performance may be due to electrical interference and internal (or external) wiring problems. Mobile O2 have plans to improve 2G and 3G coverage and also introduce 4G services in 2014. Home coverage can also be improved by using a signal booster (femtocell) PAYG SIM cards can be a useful tool to determine the best provider in addition to online network coverage maps. If you decide to change provider your current mobile company will inevitably offer you inducements to stay (e.g. lower charges, improved terms, free femtocell). This also applies to Broadband. Broadband DSL Broadband (Digital Subscriber Line) The most significant (but not the only) factor limiting Broadband speed is the physical distance between the household and the equipment in the telephone exchange. Rural telephone exchange areas tend to be larger than those in urban areas and therefore people are more likely to live further from the exchange and consequently suffer from poor broadband performance.

IDC OPINION This study leverages the IDC MarketScape framework to evaluate the leading regional and global telecommunications SPs in Asia/Pacific (AP). The primary focus of this study is to assess SPs' capabilities to meet the telecommunication and ICT needs of various customer segments. IDC identified the top 11 providers by scale and scope of operations in terms of strong regional network presence, suite of managed services offerings in the region, and large base of midsize and large-sized enterprises, multinational corporations (MNCs), and government clients across AP. The evaluation framework consists of a large variety of parameters, such as comprehensiveness of service offerings, datacenter and cloud capabilities, go-to-market strategy, growth strategy, partner ecosystem, and innovation strategy. There are several key differentiators among the telecommunications firms assessed that IDC noted for success in this market and of which buyers should be aware. A Comprehensive Portfolio of Software-Defined Networking and Virtual Network Services As traditional network offerings become table stakes, Communication SPs are increasingly using software-defined networking (SDN) to differentiate themselves. The benefits of SDN in the datacenter are well known; however, the expansion of SDN into disparate and often chaotic access networks has also become prevalent now.

(8) TELEFONICA EUROPE PLC Defendants PARTICULARS OF CLAIM A. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Introduction 1. The Claimant (“P4U”) claims in respect of the Defendants’ collusive and/or anti- competitive conduct and/or breach of contract that caused loss and forced it into administration. The Defendants’ unlawful conduct caused P4U, one of the UK’s leading and last independent mobile phone retailers, to cease trading in September 2014. 2. It is inherent to the secretive nature of the Defendants’ unlawful conduct (as particularised herein) that P4U has incomplete information as to the precise content and timing of the unlawful agreements, understandings, concerted practices and instructions that it alleges. P4U relies on inferences that it contends should be drawn from the pleaded primary facts. P4U anticipates providing further and better particulars following disclosure. 06267-00001/10599764.1 1 3. In summary, P4U’s case is as follows: (a) P4U had a successful and profitable business selling the Defendants’ mobile network connections (“Connections”) as an independent retail intermediary. P4U was one of two main independent retail intermediaries for the supply and/or distribution of Connections in the UK. The other was Carphone Warehouse Limited (“CPW”). (b) P4U was particularly successful in selling Connections to young adults (customers aged between 16 and 25 years).
