Because 3 cannot be bothered to do things properly (ie check OS) and the
dongle uses an auto-install "dashboard App"?
Use a landline for the call? BT made most 0870/0845 calls the same as
01/02/03 some time ago and others have followed the lead :-) I used to
avoid 0870 and 0845, but it's no longer worth the effort!
