Wakrak on [Android, iOS] Free - The Enchanted Worlds 2 (Was $6.99) @ Apple App Store, Google Play Store

Sorry - Android.

Alan6984 commented on [Android, iOS] Free - The Enchanted Worlds 2 (Was $6.99) @ Apple App Store, Google Play Store
I'm getting a 'greyed out' install button, despite it saying the game is compatible with all my devices. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Ewww!

I could be wrong, but I think you can just top up 2Degrees and not buy a pack or anything, putting you casual rates effectively? I imagine...

Not sure what game they are referring to though?

Alan6984 commented on small balance prezzy card - anyone ?
I believe it is allowed, but probably should be posted in the 'Classified' forum. Haven't got a Prezzy Card myself - can't help on that...

Rubenite on L'Affare Mighty 200g Coffee Beans or Grounds $5.99 ($1.99 with Coupon) @ New World (North Island, Ends Feb 2)

It kind of beggars belief the way that these coupons are designed - they want you to print them, but make it as hard as possible for the...

No idea - give it a go, and let us know!

Nearly all the electronic coupons say something like 'original only - no copies', but I have never had any issue with a printed copy at the...

Nice test! As you say, it would be interesting to know whether it was a time based thing, or a price change thing.

Cheersbro on 3 Months Free Power for Customers with a Newborn (From 1st Feb 2023, Limited to 1,000 Contact Customers) @ Contact Energy

It's completely up to you - same as any other agreement between two consenting private parties. You could go to market, and offer any of...

Nice! I have camera envy ;-)

ace310 on Unlimited Gig Fibre (869/506Mbps) $67.95/Mo (12 Month Plan) BYO Modem, Signup via Broadband Compare @ Slingshot (New Customer)

Yes - Pretty sure all my clients with any of the Vocus group experienced the same thing (might even have been a complete outage across...

I agree - the button you press (accepting you likely have to choose the one your card provider tells you to use) will determine the type of...

I've never had any issue with more than four - just the discount was limited to that number. I have always checked they are okay with it...

I would have to guess that, if the purchaser presses 'credit', then the merchant would get charged as a credit card, so reasonable for them...

Ahhh... I got that message too, but figured it was a scam.

No idea about the through-wall thing - would be interested to know what they say about that.

Same experience with 2Degrees (on behalf of a client) late last year - the wait times were ridiculous.

Sometime late last year (might have been Nov 2022 - can't recall exactly), I had a client that was with 2Degrees, and asked for a fixed...

If there is power for the ONT, I think you can just plug an extension / multi-way into that, and run out to the mount rack - no sparky...

Everettpsycho on ASUS RT-AX56U AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Router $158.79 Delivered @ Amazon AU

I agree with this - I always prefer to have the connection to the ISP use their router, and I just plug my own stuff in to theirs. If I...

Cool :-) Seems like a good deal to me. I am already with Slingshot, but they might lose me elsewhere if they won't honour it for existing...

Based on the above - that is correct. You have to use the link provided if you want the extra $10 (and don't value the other items).

I don't know what the cheapest is currently, but my target price is $0.13 per tablet. If I see them at that price, I buy a load :-) The...

Yeah - you will still find a lot of people who think Macs are more secure. Probably a lot of diehard Apple users don't want to change their...

That's got to be possible I agree. They have always sought to control what their customers can do, and it would be entirely consistent. I...

I'm not into cup-a-soup, but up-voted for the effort!
