Always be wary of Phone Scams.  Here are a couple “doing the rounds”….

Mobile phone fraud

In many scams, the idea is to get enough of your personal information that they can steal your identity, and mobile phone fraud is just the latest form the scammers have come up with to do just that.

The scammers get hold of your details, then contact your mobile phone operator, posing as you, add additional handsets to your account, and run up massive bills. Be sure to read Don’t get caught out by this new fraud to find out what you need to do to guard against this scam.

Landline mis-selling

Half a million people a year fall victim to landline mis-selling, which is when a shady salesmen essentially switches which phone company you are registered with, against your wishes.

Thankfully, you can protect yourself against their dodgy tactics - have a read of Watch out for this phone scam! for a full run-down of what you need to know.

HTC HD2 Smart Phone works with GeoSIM Global SIM Card

Our office has just received the v sexy HTC HD2 Smartphone. Wow what a beauty!

Our unlocked SIM free HD2 was easily set up and auto configured with our GeoSIM Multi IMSI SIM and worked like a dream.

Unlocked HTC HD2 works with GeoSIM Global SIM Card

The HD2 runs a “heavily disguised” Windows Mobile 6.5 using HTC’s “Sence” GUI which is very slinky and pleasing to the eye on the large hi res screen.

When used with GeoSIM the call back is fast and connections crystal clear - as they should be when using a UK network.

All we need now is an excuse to test it on a Sunny beach somewhere rather than the icy UK!

…..and a few more bits of GeoSIM news….

Beating the VAT man and PINs and PUKs

There’s no point repeating it all here so read all about it in GeoSIMs Decembers update

Happy Christmas!

Beat the VAT Man!

UK VAT is set to rise from 15% back to 17.5% on Jan 1st 2010.

If you’re planning on using your GeoSIM in the new year, then it would be worth topping up your GeoSIM before 1st Jan to beat the VAT man.

The VAT increase will affect all sales to UK and EU customers for top ups and SIM purchases.  Buy before the new year to ensure you don’t pay the VAT man a penny more than you want to!

Words and Tears

My good friend Andy Greig died peacefully at home  recently after battling Osteosarcoma (Bone Cancer).

I sit here trying to sum up or write some fitting words, prose or comment on someone I have known for only a few years, but grew to know as a good friend, I know it is an “impossible” task and my burbling will fall far short of what Andy deserves.

Some of you may have seen or followed Andy’s blog at http://www.grumpyoldgit.org/ where he bravely documented his journey from diagnosis, through surgery and his treatment, including his fear of needles - which is not a particularly “useful” phobia if you have a medical condition, is it?!

Andy lived a few doors down the road with his wife Sara and 4 children and our families often enjoyed each others company at BBQs or popping around for a “cuppa”. Andy ran his own Graphic design business and occasionally did some  design work for GeoSIMs website and literature.  He was (oh how I hate using the past tense) and integral part of our lives.

Andy was a keen photographer and some of his photos can be seen on his BLOG . He was a bit of a gadget “fiend” and an Apple/MAC/iPhone “enthusiast” - (am I politely trying to say “geek”?). He enjoyed sailing, winter sports, good food, wine, music, Majorca and good design. He also asked “why were The Beatles so popular?” and said to me once that U2 weren’t “that good”.  Andy always had a view or opinion on things and always up for some good “banter”  Andy was unique and genuinely a “jolly good bloke” who will be dearly missed by all those that knew him.

Gone in body, but with us in Spirit….

Help Raise £10000 With Andy’s Angels

Andy’s was raising funds for Bone Cancer research and Willen Hospice in Milton Keynes.  His target was £10000 and at the time of posting he and Andy’s Angels had reached about £3500.  Donations to these worthy causes can be made here.

Please help Andy and his Angels reach the £10000 target.

Or if you’re buying a GeoSIM please use promo code ANGELS. GeoSIM will donate £1 per sim and 3% of all top ups on any SIM purchased with the ANGELS promo code.

Thank you.
