This is why @Ofcom need to step up NOW and block in-contract price increases. Companies like @EE expect new customers to commit to 24 months (or 12, at a significant premium). Yet, unfairly, most customers ordering now will NEVER see a monthly bill as low as the headline figure.

WhatsApp finally arrives on iPad. Yes, an official app without third party workarounds. Video calls work, too.

[Skype @Skype]

Starting in May 2025, Skype will no longer be available. Over the coming days you can sign in to Microsoft Teams Free with your Skype account to stay connected with all your chats and contacts. Thank you for being part of Skype

We've been getting a LOT of calls from frustrated customers that have been forced to upgrade to the new @Outlook - Password issues, adverts, lost features, lost folders / emails / contacts and calendars, no offline / PST storage. Thanks for your patience while we help everyone!

Oops. McDonald's UK, did you really mean to send that? Or is it a tactic to go viral? McRib at McDonald's UK on 16/10/24?

@canterburycc What are the options for people who still haven't received their postal vote today? And, are out of the area tomorrow? Can they get an emergency proxy vote?

@educationgovuk Standards and Testing Agency: You've marked several answers as wrong, but I disagree.

@RoyalMail My Tracked 48 parcels are currently taking 4-5 days to arrive. I feel let down, I'm letting my customers down, too. Time to drop the service or at least rename it?

If you're having trouble with the Internet - e.g. you're connected but you can't reach any websites - it could be a DNS problem. Old Adguard DNS settings recently stopped working.

McDonalds IT went down yesterday, Tesco today... I don't think we are quite ready for a world that's run by computers

[Poorly PCs @PoorlyPCs]

Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp... all down. Lots of incoming calls asking about it.

[Poorly PCs @PoorlyPCs]

Facebook is having trouble. Users are being logged out and passwords are not working properly. Please stand by - do not adjust your settings!

Instagram may also be affected

@MicrosoftHelps This is worrying. The new Outlook app for Windows not only injects ads, but it injects scammy, spammy ads. This is not a positive user experience. Put your users' safety before profits please.

[Poorly PCs @PoorlyPCs]

If your 123-Reg emails are not working today, do not adjust your settings in the Outlook app. Check your emails via webmail instead.

This month's Windows Update has caused issues for some people: including printer problems, slow performance, no Internet, no keyboard.

A Restart is likely to fix these issues, as a restart is more thorough than a normal, faster Shut down, and processes any unfinished updates.

Some antivirus and maintenance apps may not be that good for your device - or your wallet.

While some protection is necessary, there's a trend towards pushing unnecessary add-ons and compromising search results.

We're doing our bit to educate our customers and save money.

Our top issue this week: compromised email accounts.

Always check the link carefully to see if it's really from the 'sender', go directly to the website instead of using the email link, and always use a unique password for your email (in case another site gets hacked).

I'm going to sound like @MartinSLewis now, but my RAC renewal had gone up to £400. The online chat offered £250, £167 and finally £133 (with an upgrade) to stay. Always worth negotiating.

Freestyle LibreLink app still not working? The free Shuggah app may be the answer!

Yes, it's genuine. This is the second time Apple has released a 'Security Response' - it's basically a tiny update to address an important security flaw, without having to download massive updates.
