ROMANCE IS DEAD: 90% of us will send "Valentine texts" this year
A survey carried out on behalf of text-sex-enabler Orange has revealed that 90% of us will send “romantic” or “saucy” text messages this Valentine’s Day.
As well as being blackmailed by major corporations into feeling guilty and spending loads of money on over-priced pink goods (poor Mrs Cutlack might get a smile if she’s lucky this Thursday), we’re also expected to use up out valuable mobile credit sending generic messages of affection as well. Orange had this to say on the matter…

French iPhones may or may not be completely unlocked
Towards the end of last week, reports emerged that the French iPhone may not have been as fully unlocked as was first thought.
Just to bring you up to speed on the whole affair, French law prevents a mobile phone being tied exclusively to one carrier. Hence, Orange had to offer to unlock an iPhone from its network if a customer asked.
iPhone Atlas reported that foreign SIM cards could not be used with the device, although it didn’t appear to mention the source of the information.
