Free app allows customers to view their account from their handset
O2 has today announced My O2 for iPhone, an app designed to help make viewing the amount customers spend on their phones even easier. The app is now available as a free download on the Apple App Store.
The My O2 section of O2’s website gives comprehensive information on every part of a customer’s account and could already be accessed via SMS and online, however the new My O2 app takes this information and makes it available in a way specifically tailored for the iPhone.
Using the My O2 app, both O2 Pay & Go and Pay Monthly iPhone customers will be able to securely see their tariff details, a summary of their inclusive allowance and how much remains, their latest bill and any Bolt Ons on their account.
O2 has launched a new prepay tariff offering unlimited text messages and mobile internet. Customers who sign up before October 31 will receive unlimited texts when topping up between £10 to £14 a month. A top up of £15 and above will provide unlimited web access as well as texts. Customers who sign up after October 31 will receive 300 texts when topping up between £10 to £14 a month and 500 text and unlimited browsing when topping up £15 to £29. Accounts that are topped up with more than £30 a month will automatically receive unlimited texts and mobile internet.
O2 head of prepay propositions Jean-Michel Maltais said: "Our customers are connecting with people more and more through social networks and need constant access to online sites, so we’ve built Text & Web with them in mind.
"The unlimited web access means interacting with the internet is now even easier – they also get a rich text allowance which offers great value."

First Android Device Signals LG’s Two-tier Smartphone Strategy
Seoul, September 14, 2009 – LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in mobile communications, reinforced its aggressive strategy in smartphones by announcing the first Android mobile device which will give LG a broader and more dominant position in this expanding market.
The announcement of LG’s first Android-powered smartphones comes only a week after the world’s third largest mobile phone company announced that it would be introducing three new Windows Mobile smartphones in the next few weeks. These developments underscore LG’s commitment to offering greater consumer choice in the expanding smartphone category.
We just received new information that suggest the launch of Android 2.0 might be coming later than we were expecting. I have been reporting that the Motorola Sholes would be the first phone to feature Android 2.0 and that it was widely expected to launch in late October. New documents I have seen now list early December as the launch date for the Motorola Sholes and Android 2.0.
There has been no official release date given for either launch, so I’m not sure if it is fair to call this a delay. I have often wondered how Google could deliver Android 2.0 in its final form by the end of October. I believe the hardware is on track and that the software is the main reason for this new launch window. Google has no public roadmap or deadlines for Android 2.0 and I suspect this was done on purpose to avoid criticism of a delay.
First there was DVD and additional content being offered on DVD like deleted scenes and additional information about movies. Then came the battle of Japanese monsters Godzilla and Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, or in other words: Toshiba (HD DVD) and Sony (BlueRay), that was won by Sony. Now comes new development in the area of home entertainment: iTunes Extras – something like additional content offered in DVD and BlueRay but without the disk, everything is over the Internet.
New version of this extremely popular version comes as separate app with number “2” in it. Of course the developer could release it as upgrade, but then he wouldn’t earn so much money.
Anyway Touch Physics is one of the most popular games in the app store and since you can advance to next levels by drawing totally arbitrary objects, it is providing more freedom for creativity than most other games.
Clove have slashed the price of the Acer M900 to £169 (£194 inc VAT.)
Nothing funny…brand new, sealed UK spec models at a ridiculous price.
Price is valid until remaining stock sells!
That’s great value for a good, reliable Windows Mobile phone. Specs after the break:
Orange says vandals partly to blame for network outage today, which has since been resolved
Orange said its network outage today was partly caused by vandal damage in the Heathrow area.
A network spokesperson said: "We are aware that some BlackBerry customers experienced difficulty accessing emails earlier today. We can confirm the issue was a result of vandalism to cabling infrastructure, supplied to us by a third party provider in the Heathrow area of London.
"As soon as it was identified, engineers worked as a matter of priority to fix the issue, and full service has now been resumed.
"In a separate incident, some of our broadband customers may have encountered issues accessing the internet earlier today. We can confirm this matter was fixed shortly after being identified and full service was also resumed.
"We would once again like to apologise to those affected for any inconvenience this matter has caused them."
