Hmm, I wonder. 3 seem to do a 'Sim Zero' sim only one month contract for, err, £0.00 / pm. If I can buy the £5 internet bolt on then I should be able to get my £1Gb for just £5/pm. Beats T-Mobile's 1Gb for £20.00. If I need more than 1Gb, I just buy another bolt-on. I suspect I'll have to visit a 3 shop tomorrow to get the full lowdown.

As long as the 3 SIM is activated and using data then it'll work dandy. They have a £5/mth bolt-on with unlimited data, you just use £5 from your available balance (if over £5) to buy the bolt-on.

Yes, the G1 has it's own tariff on T-Mobile, it's due to the G1 chatting to Google 24/7. You can't get the tariff without buying a G1. I've had mine six months and used a lot of bandwidth, can't say how much exactly but a lot... No ones, complained to me yet... And I use the Last.FM app to stream music, it's brilliant, as long as you've remembered to charge the battery! The cheapest tariff they do is £25/month, 200 txts/200mins (though I think I got a special with 400 txts), and I paid £40 (I think) for the phone. I don't you'll beat it, on sim only deal, and having to pay for the G1. Lee -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Acer TravelMate 5730
Hi folks, I've just finished setting up an Acer TravelMate 5730 for a customer of mine. During the setup I created a recovery disk for the machine using PartImage and thought I'd mention that it works fine with Linux Mint 7. Although I didn't actually get chance to try it with Ubuntu (didn't have a disk handy) it worked well in Mint 7, the wireless (Intel wireless), Blue Tooth (Broadcom), wired ethernet (Broadcom) and everything just seemed to work. In fact I had more luck with Mint than I did with XP which blue screened on installation (I had to change the BIOS settings for the SATA controller from AHCI to IDE to get it to work on XP). I thought this might be useful for anyone looking for a notebook. I did find though that they're not as cheap as some of the notebooks out there as they are aimed at businesses and have Vista Business pre-installed (along with an XP recovery disc) but I believe Acer do offer refunds on Windows although you do have to send it to their service centre down in Plymouth for them to remove the licence sticker and wipe the drive (I know, silly really).

I do occassionaly stream audio but not that much. T-Mobile are good with their plans. I don't know about the G1 contract, but with my contract (not G1, clearly) the fair use is technically 1GB per month, but they don't cap. They will start to throttle your speed if you consistently go over this limit, but that's all. -- Michael -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Webcam as a security camera
Ok i know its a bit of general question, but does anyone know of cheap webcams that just work in ubuntu. they have to be easy to set up.

So how would this work, would i have to set up some sort of streaming website for this? 2009/7/1 Matthew Macdonald-Wallace > Quoting javadayaz : > > > Hi, > > > > As some of you may know i have an android phone G1 phone.
