Back when I worked for them, I was (partly) responsible for some of Vodafone UK’s “Content Control” systems. I didn’t like the system then, and I don’t like them now.
I understand the need that network operators have to protect themselves from bad headline and give people some control over what they see online. …
As many of you know, I worked for Vodafone for nearly 7 years. I left shortly before the “entirely legal and justified tax avoidance” scandal came to light.
I didn’t know anything about the tax issues while I was working there – other than the fact I had some colleagues working in Luxembourg – …
For years I was a BlackBerry fanboy. I remember snatching a departing colleague’s 6710 and lying to the IT department that I was authorised to have my email on my phone. I never looked back. Despite a brief flirtation with the Nokia N95 – I was a BlackBerry Boy through and …

(Disclaimer – I used to work for Vodafone. I don’t any more.)
A rather nasty flaw with Vodafone’s “My Account” service was recently pointed out by Denny de la Haye. Vodafone will quite happily tell you the email address of any customer who has set up the “My Account” facility.

I’ve got a rather neat femtocell – the Vodafone SureSignal. It extends the 3G signal into my house by way of my broadband.

So – given that the Kindle has a Vodafone SIM card – how do we find the …

In 1974, a post-boxing day Britain tuned in to BBC 1 to watch “Robot” – the first Doctor Who story to star Tom Baker.
