the site works very well, except for horse racing which is very slow.
Report d13phe • January 31, 2010 1:30 PM GMT
not really

it logs you out after 3/4 mins
Report canaryboy • January 31, 2010 1:31 PM GMT
maybe people are using different apps?

or it only works well connected to wifi?

also putting in your login details every time is a pin in the ass

Not sure if it will work but try downloading Opera Mini 5 browser onto it. Its the only browser that will load the betfair forum onto my Sony Ericsson.

whats the difference between unlimited wifi and 1GB mobile internet?

this is an offer with the iphone - i thought wifi and internet is same thing?
Report 8sid • January 31, 2010 1:59 PM GMT

No great to be honest.

The other place one on iphone is a lot better.

all net usage is free on pay monthly
Report hutyee • January 31, 2010 2:00 PM GMT
so wot is 1GB mobile interenet?
Report Ovalman. • January 31, 2010 2:01 PM GMT
Unlimited wifi uses your own home wireless network to connect (or free at McDonalds etc.)

1GB is not a big allowance especially if you watch any streaming video (like youtube)
Report hutyee • January 31, 2010 2:03 PM GMT
Thanks oval - that means O2 package is better as its unlimieted data whilst voda is 1GB!

why on earth sign up with voda?
Report Ovalman. • January 31, 2010 2:04 PM GMT
I've also realised online poker uses VERY little internet (just over 1MB per hour). If you play online and want mobile internet then join three.co.uk. For a £10 top up you get 150MB free internet, simply use your phone as a modem and away you go. You have around 100 hours of online poker and best of all the 150MB lasts for 3 months.

im with o2

all free, well "within the package"

never realised other networks now do iphones

i will stay with 02, as i get 30% off monthly bill :-) :-)
Report Ovalman. • January 31, 2010 2:06 PM GMT
I don't have an iphone but I've been monitoring my internet since Virgin disconnected my free internet 2 weeks ago. General browsing doesn't use up too much but online video is the real killer. You'll use the 1GB in an hour watching BBC iplayer.
Report Ovalman. • January 31, 2010 2:07 PM GMT
And general browsing would come to around 1GB per month so you'd be better off going for a larger allowance.
Report hutyee • January 31, 2010 2:13 PM GMT
how do u get 30% off aswell?

Dr, how do you go about jailbreaking it? And where do you get the apps? Via torrents?

in safari just type in forum.betfair.com
Report Birchola • February 1, 2010 4:57 AM GMT
Yep. It took me a while to get the forum to work. There is no direct link to it from the Betfair site on your iphone. You have to type the link into a seperate window as akhanrvd says.

The Betfair site is OK but it's a real ball ache if you're trying to flick between the site and other web pages for scores such as tennisform and cricinfo. Each time you switch back to Betfair you have to log in again more often than not cos it keeps timing out.
