    Haha I expected this would happen around the time Three launched there app. Hopefully one day they get connectivity on the Euro Tunnel as well odd they haven't when they the only network that offers free roaming there.

    They have connectivity on the Eurostar. They had it before France became a Feel At Home country because I was using the connection to message a friend on my last journey through the tunnel. I was quite surprised. I think it was only a small part of the journey where I didn't have signal.

    About time! I have to find my old Orange Value Promise SIM on Virgin Mobile to get a wifi code so I could use my Three phone. :D

    No. It was an Orange tariff that matched a Virgin mobile tariff.

    I've been able to use my phone (mobile data) on the HK underground for many, many years. Now the London UG is massive but why haven't they got mobile masts in at least zone 1? Well, I know half the story (Huawei got rejected) but it seems like a bit of joke that it is 2014 and there's no mobile reception in a major transport link of our capital city.

    Huawei didn't get rejected, they pulled out. Here's a BBC News article about it from April 2011.
