This must be newish
Seems like switching to 3G allows calls and texts to work according to some comments.

Wonder if itâs a sign theyâre moving over to a new system to allow giffgaff and other mvnos 4G/WiFi calling etc 
Likely overthinking, but itâs about time.

I was also thinking this, hopefully, but also hopefully this doesnât mean itâs been pushed back an extra 12 months.

Well they need to commit to shutting down 3G at some point surely

I pulled the trigger.
iPhone 14 Pro Max delivers tomorrow
Any case recommendations? I had an apple leather on my 12 and it fell to bits after about 8 months.
Contemplating this one.

Whatever you do, avoid GiffGaff like the plague. Currently dealing with a returns issue⊠where they are refusing to refund me after Royal Mail lost the phone in transit back to them. Who arranged the tracked return? GiffGaff. Who is refusing to raise a lost item claim with Royal Mail? GiffGaff. Utterly absurd situation to be stuck with⊠no phone nor money. Be warned!

Raise a chargeback via your debit/credit provider if you paid any money.
I got mine direct via O2.
The Otterbox Figura cases are pretty and they feel well made. I have the multicolour one and I like it.

Is that what was going on yesterday? Was out an about playing PokĂ©mon game, got a notification to say data wasnât available and kicked off PokĂ©mon go.
My housemate was with me, also on Sky, was connected perfectly fine, so tethered through them.
They never had any issues, but from that moment i fluctuated between having no service to having service but no data for pretty much all day.
Think thatâs the push I need to get me to leave.
I really like Sky. Itâs a shame they use o2 and not EE.

Does the device not get hot? I recall my 12 getting quite a temp, and my pixel pro does sometimes
You wouldnât when the prices tripled

I never had a device get so hot as to be uncomfortable to hold â but surely it would get even hotter with a case on given a big lump of plastic isnât the best for heat dissipation?

Never felt it through a case so wouldnât bother me, I use my phone a lot.
When I go caseless I put my MagSafe wallet on the back, makes it way more comfortable to hold, perfect for putting it down and not worrying about scratching the back, and helps with comfort when it gets a bit warm (usually only happens if Iâm using it in a sunny place making the brightness go up to max).
You donât feel it but your battery sure does!

I had a fake apple leather case, felt and looked the same as the original, just no apple logo or case animation when you put it on⊠for £20, still fell apart
It didnât have durable outer casing to prevent fall apart, like the Carnivale

My OtterBox cases have always been solid.
Same goes for my Caseology case for my Pixel. Itâs been a lifesaver on multiple occasions
