    Loads of travelling time to kill and stuff to soak in/share on social media yesterday and my phone was as good as useless. It's an iPhone 4S and has a hideous battery drain. A 100% charge can disappear in 2 or 3 hours. I thought I was being smart by taking my Pebble charger with me so I could replenish it. Think again. I'm with Giffgaff and I hadn't realised that my goodybag had expired at midnight the day before. No 3G access whatsoever. Why don't they let you connect to your network provider free of charge so that you can top up in such situations. A bit like when you can make emergency calls without credit.

    I'm with Three, they'll let you use the internet to top up on their website. Couldn't get a signal inside the ground though.

    I couldn't get anything in the ground either, and couldn't find any Wi-Fi!
    I thought there should have been Wi-Fi available.
