Unless you’re a Virgin Media , EE or Vodafone customer, you’ve either been shelling out for subterranean internet, or bid the London Underground’s WiFi network a solemn farewell when free access ended in January. If you’re with O2 , however, your free pass has now been reinstated, as the bubble-loving carrier has become the latest passenger riding on Virgin Media’s tube hotspots — O2 WiFi users will even find themselves automatically registered. Also, the underground network will shortly be meeting its 120-station target , as Virgin will be flipping switches at the final 12 locations throughout this week (the station list is available at the source link) . . . → Read More: O2 customers get free pass on Virgin Media’s tube WiFi, last 12 stations go online this week  Between Skype , Google Voice , Viber and several smaller players, there are plenty of platform-agnostic services vying to put your voice through their IP ( get it? ), and now UK carrier O2 is introducing us to its twist on multi-device communication with TU Go. . . . → Read More: O2′s TU Go software spreads your phone number across multiple devices  Not a month after Mach’s last carrier billing deal , UK network providers Vodafone , Three , O2 and Everything Everywhere are getting in on the action.

O2 claims it has tested three versions of the OS update and decided not to approve it, due to increased hardware requirements resulting in “speed and performance” issues. This is curious, since Sony itself had no problems getting Android 4.0 up and running on the devices — even if it did take a while . . . . → Read More: O2 UK denies Xperia Ray, Arc and Neo owners Ice Cream Sandwich  O2 is making good on its promise to coat the busiest parts of London in free WiFi. Between now and the end of July, seven locations including Oxford Street , Regent Street , Exhibition Road , Leicester and Piccadilly Squares will offer unfettered access — even if you don’t subscribe to O2′s cellphone network. There’s no word on if the network will remain free forever, but given the painful time we spent crouching in Starbucks doorways on recent trips to New York and Paris, we hope the company does the right thing for the sake of harassed visitors to the capital. . . . → Read More: O2 offering free WiFi around London’s busiest streets O2 is making good on its promise to coat the busiest parts of London in free WiFi.

Although the number hasn’t gone down, the 12.1 minutes of time study subjects spend talking every day is just fifth-highest on the list of what they do with their smartphones.
