Re: SIM card - again

Just make sure the EE sim is data only. I believe they have to be to work. If they are data/voice it might not work. £8-10 a month sounds hell of a lot given I'll have spent £30 on two years with a 3 sim. I've been surprised many times that the 3 coverage is better than O2. I have tried 3 Sims in t...

Re: Remote start - what a God send

So, had a pub lunch today. 10 minutes before leaving the house, I remote started the car. Fantastic to get into a cool car. When it’s hot, I normally drive in a thong. With all the lock down I had forgot about this :D after a couple of hours walking around a hot National Trust place (Emett's Garden...

Re: SIM card - again

My Voda 100GB SIM is due to run out in Nov so I am starting to look around. Not sure if this will interest anyone but I currently have a personal phone contract on EE and they said I could get an extra SIM and share my unlimited data allowance with the extra SIM for £8-10 a month. I know the Three S...

This is really strange - I picked my car up not long after you and I never got a bag like this!

We really have had totally different experiences with the same dealership.

Re: Dealer Smartphone upgrade

If your single port doesn't work, they've stuffed up. If it does, Volvo need a poke in the eye for yet another cost-cut. In the time I have been on this forum there have been a number posts about dealers that try to short cut the upgrade by not ordering the new plate (saving money). I guess this is...
