Re: 3 SIM card on offer at Amazon £35

Thanks guys .. I think I've been expecting too much .. I guess I've been spoilt by the facilities afforded by my Mobile Phone, iPad etc and was hoping to surf the web, get emails etc. - it's no big thing

Re: Private plate switch over

I once had a problem having the dealership sort out the plate change for me. Back in 2011, I traded in a Volvo S60 on my private plate for a nearly new Volvo Selekt V60.
