Used Apple Pay in a shop

Though it was July 2015 when Apple Pay was introduced in the UK, I have never actually used it until August this year! I bought some parking on my phone and used Apple Pay to pay for it.

It was only today that I actually used Apple Pay at a till! I paid for some shopping using the system at one of those “unexpected item in the bagging area” machine.

I know I should know this, but it was quite a seamless experience. I did have to double tap, which I didn’t think I would need to do.

Well done that now, do I need to do it again? Probably not.

All fine with Three in Dublin

This week I travelled to Dublin for a meeting. The last time I was in Dublin was in 2016 and that was my first trip abroad having changed mobile phone contracts in October 2015. Back then I had no issues with roaming.

I was able to easily join the Three Ireland network, make calls, send texts and use data with no problems or worries.

Having had a few issues with roaming in Spain last month, though got them sorted, I wasn’t expecting too many issues in Dublin.

Having arrived in Dublin, my phone failed to connect to a network. I was a little annoyed.

However I changed my Network Selection settings from Automatic and chose the Three network.

This then connected fine and I could make calls and access the internet.
