So did you!

You are no more than an expert than most people who regularly use mobile telecom.
State your credentials, and we start to believe in what you say!

So did you!</i>

I don't know what you mean. Show me one matter of <u>fact</u> I stated on that thread that was incorrect.

Not your <i>opinion</i> of 2G service, not your <i>opinion</i> of Telestial.com phones, not your <i>opinion</i> of tethering on T-Mobile UK.

Fact. And back it up. If you don't back up your allegations with fact, you're just howling at the moon.

So what ARE your credentials for setting yourself up as an expert, may I ask?

TTT
Stil awaiting reply.

I corrected several misstatements you have made on this and another thread. That doesn't make me an expert, it just makes me more knowledgeable than you.

Got any facts?

So if you are not an expert - as you pretend to be cf your remark I quoted above - what are you? You seem to delight in oneupmanship, scoring silly points over other posters who are just trying to contribute to the discussion.
I think others will draw their own conclusion about your ultimate motive - being a show-off?

What I am saying is that you really don't want to help people at all. All you want is to show off your 'superior' knowledge and rubbish everyone else who genuinely tries to help one another. They may not always correct - and you were wrong over T-Mobile UK sale offers (not surprising as you don't live in UK but I do) - but they do so with sincerity and a dose of humility.
Something you should put in your tea and drink, or whatever your regular beverage in your neck of the wood.

Couldn't come up with any facts, eh?

I think your accusing me of grandstanding is hysterical in light of the fact that you're the one who always starts up denying solid fact with misinformation - and then doggedly defends it, even in light of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Web'n'Walk is &pound;1 per day for PAYG. This is spelled out in unambiguous English prose at http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/mobile-internet/on-your-phone/how-to-get-it/</font>

Taste of your own medicine, lol!

What are you on about <u>now</u>?

Do you think you boys/children could stop now? Enough already!

At this stage of your &quot;discussion&quot; I wouldn't believe either of you.

I suppose you don't have to care what I or anyone else believes - that you're just kind of silly.

Think it's silly if you wish - but I think anyone contemplating using a cell phone in the UK is entitled to accurate information on how to accomplish it.

The T-Mobile offering is on the web, but Alec doesn't seem to understand it. I'm performing a public service by correcting his erroneous impression.

No point arguing with Robespierre (who lost his head in a guillotine).
He just isn't worth taking seriously.
Move on, I say!

You revel in your ignorance, don't you?

Well...since i'm the person who posted the initial question and since I've already made my decision, taken the trip and returned home...let me tell you what I learned.

I learned that using an iphone in France and Spain works beautifully if you set the phone up not to receive data that will cost you.

However, we purchased a Garmin Nuvi prior to the trip and I've commented regarding its use in my trip report but in just a few words...it was in our opinion the best purchase we've made in a very long time. It was an incredible tool.

Now...boys...please stop this silly banter you've been conducting. My goodness....

Awww ... we were having fun!
