and reviews from myself, Ted Salmon and guests
from the mobile world. Comments and questions welcome to

Phones Show Chat is
available for free, all year round, every week, with
guests and properly curated content. No ads, no
tiers, just good old fashioned tech podcasting.

videos, current
YouTube Shorts, and my
articles) by signing up to the Virtual Pint of Beer club

Trying a free giffgaff SIM also helps me, use the button below (and you get 5 quid free credit!) And, if you buy from Amazon UK, then go via my affiliate link (e.g. change your regular Amazon browser shortcut to this, perhaps?) and I get a small kick-back when you buy anything in that session.
