End to End – The Vodafone FreeBees Challenge

In late November 2010 I was challenged by Vodafone to travel from Lands End to John o’Groats with no money or food. I was given five  £10 pay-as-you-go FreeBees SIM cards to use as currency and I bartered my way for 900 miles using social media. I took only my iPhone 4 for photos, video [...]

Powered by Vodafone #tagid

Credit where credit is due. In the Nick of time a Vodafone micro sim arrives in the post. I met @Martuiak for a beer a couple of days ago and he said Vodafone would be happy to sponsor the data from my trip into Africa with @DarenBBC on his #TAGid project (more on that later). [...]

Vodafone 360

Bloggers corner at the Vodafone 360 event

Novatel MiFi 2352 Personal Wireless Hotspot

3 mobile router and the MiFi

I have had a personal wifi hotspot of sorts for a while now. A 3 mobile 3G router and dongle have been taking up a large space in my tech bag whenever I am out and about. If I am near a socket it runs from the mains. If I am mobile or in the [...]
