Yep, that's likely.

Stick a babel fish in your ear and be done with it.

@Jon Adair That's interesting. I'm going to ring O2 and complain. If the phone doesn't cut out first.

That Tesco pricing sounds pretty keen. I need to check how many months I'm still locked into my O2 contract...

...but it's a shame Tesco Mobile uses the O2 network, which is becoming increasingly unreliable. I've lost count of the number of calls I've received which have gone straight through to voicemail despite my iPhone telling me I had decent coverage.

I think you have to log out and log back in again to set your username

There's a great story, probably apocryphal, where a fake GP in the UK was only discovered after many years of fraudulent practice because he proscribed suppositories to an old man to be taken orally.

Commenting on the discovery of the fake doc, the old man said "Those pills he proscribed me were useless, I might have well have shoved them up my a**!"

Great article. What Shyam D said x10.

From my knowledge of wireless firms, particularly handset manufacturers, I get the impression that in 10 years' time their primary business will be patent ligitation with actual device manufacture being just an anachronistic throw-back to the activities of a bygone era.
