I am a bit ancient and new to all this mobile phones business. I signed a 12 month contract about 6 months ago with T mobile. They give me 60 minutes free phoning land lines a month which I can roll over to the following month. Text messaging costs 8p. At present, I am paying £20 month for this service.
Since I am new to this mobile phoning, do you think it is a good deal? If not, can I change to another provider/tariff? Would I need to wait until my 12 month contract is over before making any such decisions?
If I do decide to go with another network or go on another tariff, would I be able to keep the same phone njmber. If I cannot keep the same number then it would cause problems in that I would have to get in touch with all my friends/colleagues/family etc, to give them the new number.
Please advice on the best action to take.More

Ok, i'll answer your questions 1 by 1.
1 - Yes, you can cancel your contract but you would have to pay for the rest of it. You said it was a 12 months contract signed 6 months ago and you pay 20/month so to cancel it, it would cost you 120.
2 - This is a very bad deal, extremelly expensive! You could have 2 contracts giving you 500 minutes cross network each totally free.
3 - If you don't want to finish your contract you should change your tariff to flext20. It gives you 170 minutes a month, any time, to any mobile or landline.
4 - Yes, if you decide to change network you can keep your number.

Why did mobile phones work over NY and Pennsylvania on 11Sept01, the anniversary date of the end of the last Arab crusade of Europe, and not before or since? Technology for mobile phone use on planes is new and still being tested as the signal must be retransmitted, boosted, to reach a ground station. So why did they work there on that day and not on other days?More

I can't believe some of the answers given here. Has anyone ever left their phone on during a flight? They do not work, plain and simple. If I'm flying my own airplane I must fly a few thousand feet above the ground and be near a town or highway to pick up any signal. While cell towers have a long range, they are designed to reach horizontally, not vertically.
Next time in an airliner, leave your cell phone on. Watch the signal, you will loose all signal within 10 minutes and won't see any signal again until you are about to land. The FCC requires all phones to be off because phones are not tso'd (technical service order), or approved for use on an airplane. It is extremely expensive to receive a tso, and each and every cell phone would have to receive a tso for the FAA to allow phones to be used on planes. Its too much work to verify each phone carried by each passenger and allow some and not others to be turned on. In reality, cell phones are not going to cause any interference to navigation, so leave your phone next time and see what happens.
The phone calls made from airplanes on 9/11 were not made from cell phones, they were made from airphones in the backs of the seats on larger airliners. More

I would like to know the reason. What are the effects if mobile phones are not switched off?More
Asked by: StarShine
I am a commercial pilot and can tell when someone has not turned off their cell phone. It creates an annoying clicking and static noise in the headsets we use to communicate with Air Traffic Control. It can be a distraction.
As for the navigation equipment, there might be a very slim chance of cell phones interfering, but unlikely. Like a lot of things in aviation, its a precaution.
For those of you who saw this on Myth Busters, they were wrong like they normally are with aviation topics. More
