    Am I on to a winner?

    How would you receive the location data? GPS satellites do not provide any tracking capability, they just transmit a signal, there is no two way capability. GPS receivers work out their own location by calculating signal strengths from various satellites... So the chip knowing its own location...

    Euro DNS

    Unfortunately if you're expecting any kind of customer service from EuroDNS you are in for a shock. They are rude, arrogant and extremely unprofessional. We had 40+ domains with them and had endless issues. We eventually transferred all of our domains to another registrar (having to renew all...

    best gift ever recieved

    Nice! I have all of the comm badges from TNG up to ENT - replica type 1 phaser and type 3 pulse rifle from First Contact and a large model of Terok Nor. I have been obsessed for years. Voyager has got to be my favourite series. The dressing gown is good by the way, firebox.com sell them, along...

    best gift ever recieved

    A Star Trek collectable pocket watch depicting the Enterprise (NCC 1701-D) with schematics etched in to the metal interior. It was from my mother. I could never part with it (well, there's always a price, obviously). Ben

    NatWest Statements...

    I woke up this morning to find dozens of letters in my mailbox, all from NatWest - each one covering 1 month of my transaction history going back years. I did not request this. I called customer services and they have confirmed I didn't request it and they are completely confused as to why this...

    Advice

    You will probably get a better response by posting this in Legal or Accounting. Best of luck. Ben

    Off shore bank accounts

    You are describing tax evasion. This is of course wrong. There is no need to evade tax, there are plenty of legal ways to reduce tax if you get yourself a decent accountant. Also offshore should no longer be seen as a place to hide money - information sharing agreements are almost global now...

    Vibrator in my living room?

    The building was constructed by Barclays bank as a branch in 1952 and later sold by them to property developers in 2005. I moved in 2008. I think we can rule out a Poltergeist, unless it's a very upset former Barclays customer who was declined a loan... :) I would rather just call someone in...

    Vibrator in my living room?

    Interesting... I did consider sound as a possible cause but surely it would happen to the windows directly next to it too? If this is sound related, it's certainly at a level lower than I can hear as its often completely silent when it happens. Ben

    Vibrator in my living room?

    I have a slightly strange problem I was hoping someone could help identify. One of the window's in my living room vibrates randomly - for example I can be sitting in the room of an evening and suddenly I hear a loud buzzing sound. I go to the window and I can feel it vibrating violently. It's...

    MVNO services

    Giffgaff are not doing anything wrong, they offer a good service at a competitive price point for the pay as you go market. It's just very difficult to build a customer base from scratch - certainly in mobile services. In the pay as you go market the average profit per customer will be pennies...

    Any recommendations for a good webinar company?

    Cisco WebEx of course :) Ben

    MVNO services

    There is a setup fee involved and also costs to produce the sim cards (MOQ's apply). It's a long and expensive process. If you wish to go to a mobile network directly, I recall the costs being around £250k (this was some time ago, it's possible it has changed). You can lower your costs by...

    Voip

    Voipfone pricing to some prefixes such as 0845 and mobile may seem quite high but the quality of service is very good and justifies the price IMO. We make 800+ calls just to 0845 and 0870 numbers through our Voipfone account every week and the total cost is still very low. We have tried using...

    Stolen Debit Card - £1800 Spent - What Happens?

    No, you don't have to sign for it. They just add the cash amount to the total and you pay with your card just as you would normally. Ben
