From the Irish News @julianknight15 O2 said customers using its services outside the UK in EU countries for more than 63 days in any four-month period, who can’t demonstrate prevailing use and/or presence in the UK, are likely to be deemed in breach of its fair usage policy.
In such a case, O2 will give two weeks notice before applying charges.
The operator said this policy will apply to its customers in border areas.
As for Vodafone @julianknight15 The operator said: “Where a customer’s usage abroad is greater than at home over a four-month period, we will message them to give them 14 days to clarify their usage.” That means potential new charges.
Nothing is in reality guaranteed by this Brexit deal for cross border mobile phone users. @julianknight15 so please educate yourself before you waffle!

Anyone who now has any opinion which questions the groupthink that is being heavily promoted by the government and mainstream media in relation to how we should behave during this pandemic, is now being branded a conspiracy theorist and even labelled in the most derogatory terms!
It goes beyond anti-maskers and is including links to anything that contradicts the prevailing general consensus that just falls into line with whatever we are being told. It’s as if any such views are being quietly airbrushed by the main social media platforms as well.
Recently I tried accessing a news item that featured prominently during the summer last where the WHO’s U.K. ambassador on visiting the U.K. heavily criticised governments for using repeated lockdowns as a first response to a pandemic. I simply couldn’t find anything about it!
Until the conservative elite have paid for their costly mistakes such as Iraq, lack of proper health care, jobs and wages, the reasons for the rise of Trump will continue to be misunderstood! nypost.com/2021/01/10/wha… via @nypost
Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was reportedly a Trump supporter sick of the failures of the US’s ruling establishment of past presidents who barely addressed the many problems that affected the daily lives of ordinary American citizens whether they were black or white.
It’s ironic that this officer is now being hailed a hero by the very elite who failed him and countless other fellow Americans. It is also ironic that the common grievances shared by poor black & white US citizens that should have been directed at those in charge became polarised
Totally agree but must also include full freedom of the press to report the news as journalists are expected to which has always been under certain government restrictions such as ‘D’ notices. These were man made decisions, just like algorithms are programmed by humans @grahambsi
You only have to go back to the seizure of computer hard drives at the Guardian newspaper offices, censorship on reporting in N. Ireland of journalists as well as voiceover of SF’s Gerry Adams to know that we have never had complete freedom of information! @grahambsi
The liberal interpretation by successive U.K. governments of breaches of the official secrets act has been just as great a threat if not greater than any algorithm particularly when it is applies to restrictions placed on trusted mainstream media such as the BBC. @grahambsi
Again and again this government displays a rare talent or capacity for screwing up everything around the promises made in respect of their response to this pandemic. Everything they touch goes pear shaped!
They are chancers who fly by the seat of their pants in first promising they will deliver on PPE, a track and trace system on time that actually works, tests that are reliable, staffing of the NHS and proper hospitals to deal with a pandemic situation etc etc and then renege!
The off-licenses will be doing a roaring trade and on street drug dealers will be busy in the run up to New Years Eve. More alcoholism, drug dependency and increase in suicide rate as a result of these lockdowns and curfews. That is the only real fact about this pandemic we know!
As for the singing Auld Lang Sang...fuck that! We should remember all those old acquaintances we lost through the criminal negligent if this government to act and protect its citizens.. especially the elderly!
That includes those younger with underlying health conditions that were written off as Covid related deaths. There has been more massaging of Covid statistics than a Thai massage parlour to create panic amongst the population that Covid is the sole the cause of our ills.
Under curfew 8pm to 6am in Northern Ireland, England facing possible new level of restrictions by government that exceeds even Level 4? Where will this end? All of us under lock and key in our homes, doing time on the funny farm whilst waiting months on end for the vaccine?
Leading social commentators falling into line with a unproven narrative that places all bets on the vaccine actually working and for how long no one knows, not even the scientists. Will government spend on vaccines next year even if they do protect us temporarily? Not likely!
It’s looking more and more like project fear ramped up by an elite that has panicked the citizens of the U.K. into believing that this virus is the Black Plague of the mediaeval era all over again and that the scientists are infallible in their predictions and our only hope!
