I tried to do this also. However as I’ve never used the trial it’s saying I get a month free, will this matter when it comes to using the Argentinian and will it auto renew at uk pricing does anyone know?
As long as you signed up using ARS then it should charge that.
That's the thing... I already have an eSIM, I don't have the ability to generate a new eSIM anymore
So today was delivery day today. I was concerned about someone being in to take the delivery as I was at work. Luckily my delivery slot from DHL was between 15.34 and 16.34. So finishing work at 15.30 I was happy that I would be home to receive it.
Get to my phone when I finished work to find a text message to say the phone has been delivered at 15.03. Luckily they dropped it off with a neighbour!

They must have changed as I had eSim on my 12 and 13 and was still able to go in and generate a new QR code or install directly on the device I was on.
I was able to do that in the old app, but not the new app.... this is so confusing...
I look at apps from other countries, and they look delightful to use... I really don't understand how a UX/UI team can come up with this rubbish...
I did a swap from SIM to esim in the new app. Annoyingly, I don’t have the link to show the charges for postage and where it’s free in the app.
Their website is awful. I used to work for them 20+ years ago and the in house developed website used to win awards.
O/T I know, but… 😲

Vodafone and Three in merger talks
The third and fourth largest mobile phone networks reportedly hope to strike a deal by the end of the year.

I can never get it right when trying to apply screen protectors. Fortunately there is a phone and tablet case kiosk in the shopping centre that’ll do it for a fiver so I always go to them when I have a new device that’s needs one putting on. They even did my Switch and Steam Deck.
Y'know I'm normally against mergers like this but I'm here for this one. With EE and BT merged and Virgin Media and O2 merged, Vodafone and Three need to be able to compete with them. While this doesn't give them a complete entertainment package presence it does create a super network which might be enticing for customers in terms of coverage etc.O/T I know, but… 😲

To save myself the wrath of the powers that be: though of course, I worry about pricing of the next iPhone on this merged network
Saw that. The subscriber numbers always seem off to me. I don’t know if they count devices or paying customers, I suspect it’s devices, otherwise there’s more customers than people in the UK (obviously somebody can have multiple sims with different networks).O/T I know, but… 😲

Interesting though. For a long time ofcom said they needed 4 networks for competition. Guess they now realise it’s too expensive to build a network.
It was T-Mobile and Orange in the beggining that created EE. I dont think BT ever had their own mobile network. EE's been so large in terms of network coverage because of Orange and T-Mobile. I so miss the Orange days, they've had excellent customer services.
BT had Cellnet, which became O2.
Three’s owner, Hutchison, owned half of Orange. They sold Orange to France Telecom.
Mercury (later Cable & Wireless) owned One 2 One, which became T-Mobile.
Obviously the last two merged to form Everything Everywhere, which was such a ridiculous name it got shortened to EE. BT bought the combined company from France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom.
I meant more in terms of it was a broadband/tv provider that merged with a mobile network, same with O2 and Virgin Media
Yeah, Vodafone and Three have it hard without any tv option. Vodafone have some fixed line business, they bought Cable and Wireless at some point, who I think also bought Scottish Telecom (Thus).
I never worked on fixed line, so I’m not as up on the history there.
